Abstract: This paper describes an early development of built-up software for semi-automatic
measurement of the multifunction calibrator using the direct method with the high-resolution
digital multimeter (DMM) and its validation. The software was developed by SNSU-BSN to
control the calibrator and DMM using the GPIB interface. The key advantages of this
development were that the software could be used easily, safely, and fast with high accuracy and
precision. The developed software has been validated by comparing it to manual measurement.
The type A uncertainties achieved by semi-automatic measurement were less than 0.1 µV/V for
dc voltage, 0.2 µA/A for dc current, 2 µV/V for ac voltage at 1 kHz, 100 µA/A for ac current at
1 kHz, and 0.1 µΩ/Ω for resistance with each absolute normalized error of the comparison was
less than 1. It showed that both the manual and semi-automatic measurements had a good
agreement in each measurement, and also the evaluated type A uncertainty in the semi-automatic
measurement was smaller than the manual measurement.

1. Introduction
The role of calibration and testing laboratories is very important in the quality assurance of
many sectors, including the energy sector. The instrument standards used for energy testing are
a multifunction calibrator and a high-resolution digital multimeter (DMM), Insulation tester,
Earth tester (IEC 61215-1), PV meter, and many others. This paper focused on two standards,
multifunction calibrator and DMM, which can calibrate the dc voltage, dc current, ac voltage, ac
current, and resistance quantities.
However, calibration of these instruments is usually performed by manual measurement. In
practice, this kind of measurement requires much time, exhausting, and hard to perform
manually. In 2005, Leo and Chan [1], had been successfully changed the manual measurement
of DMM from handwritten raw data to digital data by a camera. However, this application was
hard to be performed. It needed expensive additional equipment, such as a camera, interface card,
and high-performance Personal Computer (PC). Fortunately, the multifunction calibrator and
DMM can be controlled automatically using the PC by General Purpose Interfacing Bus (GPIB)
interface. In 2006, Capua et al. had been implemented automatic measurement of the calibrator
Fluke 5500A and DMM Fluke 45 using GPIB to determine the calibration interval of DMM [2].
In 2013, Mageed and El-Rifaie had also established the automatic measurement using GPIB to
perform the calibration with rapid and consistent measurement [3]. Both Capua and Mageed used
the commercial software (LabVIEW) for the automatic measurement.
Besides National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and research institutes, several manufacturers
had developed methods for automatic measurement through display software, such as Fluke [4],
Keysight [5], and Transmille [6]. National Measurement Standards – National Standardization
Agency of Indonesia (SNSU – BSN), as the NMI of Indonesia, had also been implemented

commercial software Met/Cal to change the measurement process from manual to semiautomatic measurement [7]. However, Met/Cal is a non-graphical user interface (GUI) software,
so the operator has to write the measurement points using the specific syntax within a
programming language. Moreover, the commercial software supports semi-automatic
measurement only, because it cannot be integrated with additional hardware to perform the
connection change in full-automatic measurement. Therefore, SNSU – BSN needs to build a new
software for improving the semi-automatic measurement with the graphical user interface
Microsoft Visual Basic.
The advantage of built-up new software is fit-for-purpose, such as providing the display data,
warning notification, and having unambiguous information regarding the performance of the
system. Furthermore, the semi-automatic software can be integrated with a built-up hardware
system for full-automatic measurement in the future.
A built-up process of the new software had been initialized by SNSU – BSN, and the early testing
and performance have also been done [8]. In this paper, the software developed by SNSU-BSN
was described, especially how the software worked and its validation as the requirement of the
international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 [9].
According to Tasić and Flegar [10], there were two different understandings of software
validation. The first one was that software was reviewed and executed completely to detect faults
(provoke failures), which was the most suitable for the developer’s point of view. The second
one was testing the functionality of software only, which was usually done by the end-user or
inspection body. National Physical Laboratory (NPL) – NMI of United Kingdom, has provided
guidance in detail to validate software in the measurement system [11]. However, the validation
process in this paper was more focused on functional testing. The validation of developed
software was performed by directly comparing to reference values generated from manual
measurement at the same condition in several days, and then all comparison results of both the
manual measurement and semi-automatic measurement were evaluated by calculating the
normalized error (En).
2. Experimental Section
The semi-automatic measurement software had been built using Visual Basic based on the
standard method of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), namely V-Model [12]. The Vmodel life cycle has an advantageous methodology i.e., development and testing work in parallel
and every phase needs to be checked and approved before moving forward. The V-model is the
easiest and most suitable method to be implemented in the measurement system.
Basically, V-model gives a relationship between each development stage and testing stage.
The development stage consists of requirements, functional specifications, and design. The
testing stage consists of module/integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing. Also,
between the two stages of development and testing, there is a coding phase.
The requirements phase is the input to the design which solves the problem in the
measurement system, such as warming up of the calibration system (pre-measurement stage),
collecting the DMM measured data (measurement stage), and generating the measurement report
(report stage). The functional specifications include a full explanation of each function,
consisting of software and hardware environment, description of software's functions, input and
output data, special restrictions that will be applied to the system, and software management.
The design phase models the way a software application will work. Some aspects of the design
include architecture, user interface, platforms, programming, communications, and security.
The requirements, functional specifications, and design phase, especially for the hardware
environment and its communication, were described in the Materials sub-section. Meanwhile,
the requirements, functional specifications, and design for developing the software and its
module and system testing were described in the Measurement Procedure sub-section, as well as
the acceptance test ensuring the requirements had been met were described in the Validation subsection.

Software Development and Its Validation for Semi-Automatic
A. Materials
This semi-automatic measurement system consisted of hardware and software. The hardware
used for this system were multifunction calibrator as a unit under test (UUT), DMM as standard
(STD), and cable to connect the instruments [13,14,15]. In principle, some measurement
instruments, either the calibrator or the DMM, with different types and models could be
controlled with the software, but here for practical reason, the instruments used in this practice
were Fluke 5720A multifunction calibrator and Fluke 8508A reference multimeter.
The supporting equipment were the PC and GPIB IEEE-488. In this system, GPIB was used
to send commands from the PC to the calibrator and DMM, as well as transfer the data from the
DMM to the PC. Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram of the measurement system consisting of
the PC connected using a GPIB USB – IEEE 488 bus to the calibrator and DMM.
Figure 1. Block Diagram of Measurement System
B. Measurement Procedure
The software was run on the PC to control the measurement process of UUT and STD. It
consisted of several panels and menus for helping the calibration operator through the
measurement procedure divided into three stages: pre-measurement stage, measurement stage,
and reporting stage.
B.1. Pre-measurement Stage
In the beginning, the operator had to determine the procedure by selecting the instrument
model on the "Instrument Setup" panel. The operator then selected the bus address of the
calibrator and DMM on the “Interface Configuration” panel. To select the configuration time
delay of measurement, there was a “Time Configuration” panel consisting of three menus.
“Delay to start” menu gave the warm-up time for the measurement application to run, the “Delay
between 2 points” menu gave the idle time between two measurement points, and the “Delay
between 2 parameters” menu provided time lag between two measurement parameters. This
configuration is shown in Figure 2.
The second step was to determine the measurement parameter in the “Measuring Setting”
menu. For example, it provided configuration setting of cable connection, digit of resolution,
filter application, fast or normal measurement, and external or internal guard in dc voltage
measurement. The example of the “Measuring Setting” configuration is shown in Figure 3.
173
Muhammad Azzumar, et al.

Figure 3. Measurement Parameter Configuration Menu
B.2. The Measurement Stage
At this measurement stage, the operator could set whether the measurement was in the lock
or unlock mode in the “Range Setting” menu as shown in Figure 4. In the lock mode, the software
locked the measuring point at the chosen range while in unlock mode it let the measuring point
in the auto range.
Figure 4. Range Setting Menu
There was “Edit Measurement Points” panel in this measurement stage to configure the
quantity to be measured, to choose the range on the calibrator and DMM, to input the
measurement point, and to insert the frequency value for ac quantities. The "Load Measurement
Points from file” panel could be used to recall the measuring points and their configuration from
a spreadsheet. These features are shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Edit Measurement Point and Load measurement Point form file panel
Before and after running the measurement, the environment temperature and humidity were
recorded in the “Initial room condition” and “Final room condition” panel. To begin the
measurement process, the operator clicked on the “Start” button and next an alert came out to
warn the operator to confirm the cable connections between instruments. This alert would appear
again when shifting to another parameter to notify that the connection was suitable for the
measurement. The alert is shown in Figure 6.

Muhammad Azzumar, et al.
Along the measurement process, the software presented updated values and the obtained
measurement results were tabulated as raw data. These results then could be published as a
certificate of calibration when the calculation of correction and uncertainty was completed using
a template. This option is shown in Figure 7.
B.3. The Report Stage
Finally, in the reporting stage, the correction value and expanded uncertainty of measurement
results were evaluated based on the JCGM ISO/GUM guidelines with a 95% confidence level
and a coverage factor of k = 2 [16].
C. Validation
According to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 [9], the laboratories should validate their developed
methods. The validation should be as extensive as necessary to meet the needs of the given
application or field of application. One of the techniques that could be used for method validation
was a comparison of results achieved with other validated methods [9]. One of the validated
methods was the manually direct measurement method adopted from EURAMET cg-15 [15].
Thus, the validation carried out in this paper was to compare the results of semi-automatic
measurement with manually direct measurement.
C.1. Technical Requirement
This semi-automatic measurement was then compared to the manual measurement based on
the internal procedure that was adopted from EURAMET cg-15 and also established in SNSU BSN. The comparison was performed to validate the semi-automatic measurement. The
comparison of both measurement techniques was observed under the same controlled condition.
The standard instruments used in both measurement techniques were set and conditioned in a
room with an ambient temperature of (23 ± 3)°C and relative humidity of (65 ± 10)%.
Furthermore, all configurations of both measurement techniques were similar.
For the comparison, the number of repeatability was determined to be five times in each
measurement. Moreover, the quantities value for this comparison was also determined, for dc
voltage was 100 V, for ac voltage was 100 V at 50 Hz, for dc current was 1 A, for ac current was
1 A at 50 Hz, and for resistance was 1000 Ω.
C.2. Validation Criteria
The validation was performed by using the normalized error (En) evaluation. It represented
the degree of equivalency where both uncertainties in the measurement result were included. The
mathematical model of normalized error is shown in equation (1) [17,18]:
𝐸𝐸𝑛𝑛 =
𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 −𝑋𝑋𝑀𝑀
(1)
�𝑈𝑈 2 (𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 )+𝑈𝑈 2 (𝑋𝑋𝑀𝑀 )
Where XSA was the average value of the semi-automatic measurement result and XM was the
average value of the manual measurement result, U(XSA) and U(XM) were their respective
expanded uncertainties for the confidence level of 95%.
The evaluation of both expanded uncertainties was performed based on JCGM ISO/GUM by
comprising the two types of uncertainty contribution, namely type A and type B uncertainty [16].
The type A uncertainty came from the experimental standard deviation of the mean (ESDM) of
the quantity. Meanwhile, the type B uncertainties were mainly determined by the condition,
configuration, and method. However, in this comparison, all of these were similar since they
used the same instruments. Therefore, the type B uncertainties of both measurements should be
equivalent. If these uncertainties typed within the assumption were submitted to the equation (1),
then the manipulated equation for this kind of comparison could be expressed in equation (2):
𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 −𝑋𝑋𝑀𝑀
𝐸𝐸𝑛𝑛 =
(2)
�4.𝑢𝑢2 �𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆_𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 �+4.𝑢𝑢2 �𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆_𝑀𝑀 �+8.𝑢𝑢2 (𝑋𝑋𝐵𝐵 )
176
Software Development and Its Validation for Semi-Automatic
Where u(XA_SA) and u(XA_M) were the respective type A uncertainty, and u(XB) was type B
uncertainties contribution. An important thing to remember was that practically the type B
uncertainties were not zero and must be absolute. But assumed if that there was no type B
uncertainty, the normalized error of (2) could be interpreted as simplified normalized error (En_S),
as shown in equation (3):
𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 −𝑋𝑋𝑀𝑀
(3)
𝐸𝐸𝑛𝑛_𝑆𝑆 ≈
�4.𝑢𝑢2 �𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆_𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 �+4.𝑢𝑢2 �𝑋𝑋𝑆𝑆_𝑀𝑀 �
If the calculation result of absolute simplified normalized error (|En_S|) was less than 1, it
meant that the both measurement techniques were in good agreement without evaluating the type
B uncertainty. It was because adding the value of type B uncertainty could definitely minimize
the normalized error (|En|), closer to zero. However, if the value of absolute simplified
normalized error was more than 1, the type B uncertainty must be taken into account in
determining the normalized error.
3. Result and Discussion
A. Measurement Result
The results of each comparison were illustrated in Figure 8 to Figure 12. It showed that the
semi-automatic measurement results were close to the corresponding manual measurement
results. The type A uncertainties, illustrated as error bars, of semi-automatic measurements were
smaller than the type A uncertainties of manual measurements.

Overall, these results indicated that the type A uncertainty of measurement was improved
when using the semi-automatic measurement. This was because the automatic measurements
were more controllable in the time of data sampling than the manual measurements which were
highly dependent on user to determine the time of data sampling. As for ac current 1 A at 50 Hz
179
Muhammad Azzumar, et al.
using manual measurement had a smaller type A rather than automatic measurement, this was
possibly due to the interference with the power line frequency. It proved that for high accuracy
instrument, the measurement point should be different with power line frequency to avoid
interference.
B. Validation Analysis
The simplified normalized errors were then calculated to ensure the validity of semiautomatic measurement. The calculation of normalized errors was summarized in Table 1.

The simplified normalized error value from each quantity was less than 1, therefore the semiautomatic measurement with the developed software of SNSU BSN was valid. Furthermore,
both the manual and semi-automatic measurements had a good agreement with each other.
4. Conclusions
The developed software of SNSU BSN has been validated by directly comparing to manual
measurement as reference, using the simplified normalized error. The comparison of semiautomatic and manual techniques was performed under similar controlled environment
conditions, configuration settings, and measurement method. Furthermore, the same instruments
are used in both measurements, so the type B uncertainty value was identical and can be
neglected. Therefore, the normalized error calculation could be simplified to check the validity
of the measurement.
The comparison results showed that the type A uncertainty of measurement was improved when
using the semi-automatic measurement. The validation result presented that both the semiautomatic and manual measurements had a good agreement in each other.
