AN INTERNATIONALLY HARMONISED MEASUREMENT SOFTWARE GUIDE: THE NEED AND THE CONCEPT
Norbert Greif, Graeme Parkin
Abstract:
Software is an intrinsic part of measurement. It is used in instruments to control experiments, store and process measurement data, analyse and display results and to implement mathematical techniques. Some innovations in measurement have been enabled through the use of software for simulations or complex analysis. For example, the international temperature scale ITS90 requires the processing of high order polynomials and can only be implemented using software. Given this reliance, improvements in the quality of software and reduced cost of its development are vital to the effective delivery of metrology.
