Calibration process management system and data structure

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.

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.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising tracking of the calibrated units under test using a permanent unique identifier and a dynamic unique identifier. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein each permanent unique identifier is assigned when an object is created, and each dynamic unique identifier is assigned any time the object is modified. 
   
   
       4 . A method for calibration process management of a calibration testing unit and a unit 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 unit under test;   c) assigning a permanent unique identifier when an object is created, and a dynamic unique identifier any time the object is modified; and   wherein the software system manages the user interface and the communications link in a manner permitting an operator to calibrate the unit under test.   
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising tracking of the calibrated unit under test using the permanent unique identifier and the dynamic unique identifier.
