Abstract
A modular electronic instrument system having automated calibration capability comprises a system controller and a plurality of calibration instruments for calibrating a target instrument. The instruments, if remotely controllable, may be interconnected by a common interface bus. The calibration instruments have associated therewith a characteristics file including resource capability information, and an instrument to be calibrated has associated therewith a characteristics file including calibration information. The system controller automatically derives calibration requirements from the calibration information and matches the requirements with resource capabilities of the calibration instruments. All of the characteristics files may be provided in a standardized format so that a system may be configured without regard to instrument-specific model numbers or manufacturers.
