Standardized SOA Database and Metrology Taxonomy Metrology Information Infrastructure
Metrology Data Exchange Standards The 21 st Century is here But Metrology isn’t measuring up! While the business world is running on data standards the best metrology has is PDFs. RIGHT NOW…. The Technology and Infrastructure is available – – – Businesses already use the technologies They are proven safe & secure We just need to use them So let’s create a set of Metrology Data Exchange Standards and bring the World of Metrology Together!
Purpose Start Simple Start Small Start Here Start with the SOA
Let’s Stop the Madness! Th is is We copy results from our Excel calculations into the Word document we send to the Accreditation body to get back a PDF document. Ins an it y Accredited Capabilities are 100% disconnected from: ▪ our original uncertainty calculations, and ▪ our daily calibration product. What is needed is a way to tie all this data together!
Open Source Project (GPL-3 License) https: //github. com/Cal. Lab. Solutions/Metrology. NET_Public There is a Measurement Information Infrastructure (MII) Group that has been meeting once a week for the last 9 months. Our Goals are as follows: –Build a FREE So. A Editor for calibration labs and accreditation bodies –Create a standard XML Schema for storing and exchanging So. A data –Demonstrate the power of search tools –Demonstrate how to verify uncertainties against So. A on every calibration –Create a distributed database with tons of So. As Oct 2016 Jan 2017 SOA Schema V 1 Aug 2016 Kick Off Dec 2016 SOA Schema V 2 Ability to load SOAs into a database via a UI Apr 2017 Search UI V 1 Complete
First Focus of the software First Problem 100% Compliance SOA & Cert
Taxonomy is the missing Link Taxonomy Is the Glue that Binds It all Together
Metrology Taxonomy The industry needs to build a Taxonomy of Measurements so we can index, catalog, and easily share measurement related data. Category Hierarchy 1) Source / Measure 2) Quantity Measured 3) Sub Category
Measurement Taxonomy Elements Needed for the Taxonomy Measure. Voltage. Sinusoidal. Root. Mean. Square Required Parameters Voltage Optional Parameters Frequency Impedance Metrology Quantity Voltage Auto. Scaled Values k. V, m. V n. V …. etc Calculated Uncertainties With Formal definitions Measures RMS voltage on an applied AC signal …. .

Overhaul the Existing SOA. . . Most Scopes of Accreditation Are lacking import information Sourcing or Measuring? What about Voltage? What about Impedance? Supported UUT?
TÜRKAK Taxonomy Elements Needed for the Taxonomy Source. Voltage. Sinusoidal. Root. Mean. Square Elektrik - DA ve Alçak Frekans Büyüklükleri (AF) Electrical - DC and Low Frequency Magnitudes (LF) Gerilim Voltage ? What kind of Voltage ? Is is sourced or Measured

V & < 700 V Voltage > 10 Hz & 3 MHz Calculated Uncertainties From Scope of Accreditation OR Calculated Realtime and Verified against Scope of Accreditation
Uncertainty Check On Every Test Point Run Live Calculations Source. Voltage. Direct. Current (Fluke 5720 A) Voltage= 10 Check Scope of Accreditation Source. Voltage. Direct. Current (Fluke 5720 A) If test point calculated uncertainty is less than the So. A uncertainty, then use So. A uncertainties and store the test point uncertainties for next accreditation, otherwise use test point calculated uncertainty. * Mark data point as Verified Accredited.
Find Specific So. A CMC Calculation Comments are Defined and usable in the Schema Source. Voltage. Direct. Current (Fluke 5720 A) Volts = -220 e-3 to +220 e-3 -2. 2 to +2. 2 -11 to +11 -22 to +22 -220 to +220 -1000 to +1000 NOTE: This SOA tells me they can’t source voltage below 0 Volts. ** This is not machine readable
Calibrate Our Project Goals We are NOT trying to Convert the industry’s software We DON’T need every Accreditation Body on board We DON’T need every Calibration Lab either The technology Will Speak for Itself The team is dedicated to Moving the technology forward We are accepting new members Who see the vision Who add value to the team
Joining the Team? This team will define, test, and validate a machine readable XML based standard for storing and communicating with a lab’s CMCs (Calibration Measurement Capabilities). We already have! We Need! A Great Programming Team People who are motivated Created a Solid beta version Excited to Define a Standard Created a Search tool Have SOA or Metrology Knowledge Open Sourced the Technology Can Work with the Group
Join the Team Today Do you have what it takes to create a Metrology Standard? The Clock is Ticking! • Over 1500 SOAs are Being Migrated • Search Tools Release - Q 4 2017 • Editor Tool Release - Q 2 2018 • Demos at NCSLI in August • Education & Training Begins in 2018
