CALIBRATION PROCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND DATA STRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A method for calibration process management of a calibration testing unit and a plurality of units under test, comprising:
- a) configuring a user interface in communication with a calibration process management software system;
b) configuring a communications link in communication with the software system, the software system capable of communicating with the calibration testing unit and the plurality of units under test; and
c) wherein the software system manages the user interface and the communications link in a manner permitting an operator to calibrate the plurality of units under test.

Abstract
A method for calibration process management of a calibration testing unit and a plurality of units under test, comprising configuring a user interface in communication with a calibration process management software system, configuring a communications link in communication with the software system, the software system capable of communicating with the calibration testing unit and the plurality of units under test, wherein the software system manages the user interface and the communications link in a manner permitting an operator to calibrate the plurality of units under test. Tracking of the calibrated units under test uses a permanent unique identifier and a dynamic unique identifier.

6. A method for calibrating a UUT for a specific calibration function, comprising the steps of:
-
a) receiving a first identification attribute associated with a UUT; b) receiving a second identification attribute associated with a reference measuring unit; c) receiving a specific calibration function to be tested; d) maintaining in a first memory a reference database of one or more than one second identification attribute in holding relationship to one or more than one reference identification address, each reference identification address being associated with a single calibration function; e) looking up in the reference database, the reference identification address being held by the second identification attribute, and associated with the specific calibration function; f) selecting a unique record identification address; g) receiving a value as found for the specific calibration function for the UUT; h) storing in a second memory the value as found in a being-held relationship to the record identification address; and i) storing in a third memory the record identification address in a being-held relationship to the reference identification address. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
