RESUMO

In this work we present an automatized system for calibration of instruments with the IEEE-488 (General Purpose Interface Bus, GPIB) interface. This system was developed in the Electrical Calibration Laboratory (LACE) together with the collaboration of Department of the Communications (DECOM) of the UNICAMP. The system can integrates the instruments of different rands, such as: Hewlett Packard, Tektronix, Fluke, National Instruments, Valhalla Scientific and others, in a single network interconnected under the interface provided by the controller card of National Instruments PC-IIA put into an IBM-PC microcomputer. For the control of all operations of the network, it was developed a software called GPIBNet, which standardizes the communication of all connected instruments. This system permits the automation of the routines of measurement, calibration and test, making compatible the specifications of different equipment. By using this system, we can get a significant increase in the productivity and, mainly, in the measurement quality, due to the minimization and compensation of the relative errors of the measurement system and the human appreciation. Moreover it permits a maximum efficiency operation of the system and facilitates the documentation generation (reports, certificates and tables)
