Abstract
A calibration engine to eliminate disconnects between both manual and automated calibration procedures. It abstracts the process of procedure development such that procedure writers produce automated procedures without being computer programmers. By organizing calibration procedure elements in a relational database format, a relational automated calibration engine (RACE) provides the mechanism whereby a single calibration procedure is executed in either a manual, automated, or semi-automated fashion. The engine operates both with and without an installed operating system and relational database server. Interfaces ensure interoperability with other laboratory software elements such as scheduling, reporting, and measurement uncertainty.
