My Project: Improving Measurement and Automation Features of a Electricity Reference Standard
The Radian RD-33 is useful as a portable Electricity reference standard with a high degree of accuracy. It can be calibrated against a more accurate stationary reference standard, and in turn be used to calibrate power meters in the field. Currently, measurements and calibration using this device can be done using vendor provided software. While functional, the software lacks several key features that could improve calibration times, efficiency, and accuracy, such as automated real time data acquisition, storage of measurement data, data processing, and comparisons between measurements of taken with different devices. New software is developed using LabView with these features to improve the functionality of this device.
