Preparlng 'CSL for the min ium was the objective of a workshop held y your board of directors at their meeting in Canandaigua, New York. Two of the leading issues identified by the NCSL Vision 2000 project were, "Develop & Publish Recommended Practices and Calibration Procedures"and "lnflucnt."C Industry on the Economic Impact and Impor­tance of Calibration on Product Quality", To focus the resources of NCSL, Two Vice­Presidential officcs have been re<lefined and a number of committees have been moved to better ~ign the responsibilities of those offices with these objectives and the work of the committee with the responsibiUties of the Vice-Presidential office where they are assigned.

The office of Vice President, Laboratory Systems Management is renamed to the Vice President Documentary Standards Application under Dave Abell. This office will over­see the activities of the ANSIINCSL Writing Committee. The Laboratory Evaluation Resources Committee, anew Accreditation Resoul'ce Committee, the former Calibra­tion Intervals Committee, which will become the Metrology Requirements Committee with an expanded charter includingr(.quirements such as traceability and uue,crtainty.'

TIle office,of Vice President, Quality Programs has been reorganized as the Vice Presi­dent, Standards Policy with oversight ofTheUS Government Affairs Committee, The US National Measurement Requirements Committee, The Canadian National Measurement Requirements Committee,The InternatioilalMeasurements Coordination Committee and the ANSI Secretariat. Also incl.uded under this office is the North American Calibration Laboratmy Accreditation program.

Some other Clmn es you will note in the organization outhnedin the back pllges of this news,letter are the assignment of the Equipment Management Forum. Laboratory Health and Safety and Benchmarking,(formerly Calibration Systems) Committees to Vice President In­dustrial Program . Gary Shuler. His office is also developing an Airline Industry Metrology Committee in response to several request from III ,t in "Ill Clor. The Vice President. Publication will add a Calibration I Certification Procedures Committee to his department in 1998.

This year we bid adieu to Wilbur Anson who served as NCSL Business Manager for ihe pastnine years. I am certain that I speak for OUt

enlire organization when I say "Thanks ior all you have done and the best of luck as you move on to new opportunities." We also ,'my farewell to Dr. Tom Huuemann who has been one of the principle architects of oor conference as the Vic'e President Conference Manage­ment for the past three years. New!yelected Vic~ Prysident Dave Nebel will assume the conferenc management position.

I am pleased to announce that Past President Tony Anderson has graciously ~rCed to remain On your Board of Directors and will become Viee President, Standards Policy. Dr. Klaus Jaeger will assume the Executive Vice 'Presidency ,and Western Division Vice President John Ragsdale will move to Publications.

Ed Nemeroff, past NCSL President and presently vice-president of the International Division, spokc about his recent trips to Egypt for the US State Department. He stressed that barriers are be­coming more prevalent in Internatioual trade. The NCSL is lately becoming invol ved in the writing of International trade treaties with the goal of having oue common set of standards recognized by all the countries in the world. He remarked that a related ben­efit would be a reduction in the quantity of lab audits we all un­dergo.

Ed also spoke of the need for the United States to adopt the Met­

lic System. He observed that only two countries in the world

besides the United States do not use the Metric System. Ed then defined the many National and International accrediting and stan­dards bodies. and their inter-woven relaliouships.

Tim Stark of Wavetek next gave a presentation on traccablc cali­brations of multifunction calibrators using a Datron 4950 transfer standard. Tim mentioned that he left a deer hunting trip in Min­nesota to attend the meeting. He came to New Jersey to get warm, since it was -8 degrees F where he was hunting. He then pre­sented a slide show describing the complexities of calibrating multifunction precision calibrators, and the labor and timesaving features of au automated process.

Herb Payne of EDl, representing Northrop-Grumman, presented a software package dcsigned to automate calibrations. Herb stressed the difference between Test Management and Laboratory Management, and gave examples of both. The package he pre­sented included a quantity of procedures for many common test and measurement instruments, and the facility to generate proce­dures as needed. He brought a calibration setup with a computer

and a test osci 1I0scope for interested attendees to sample the sys­l-/ tem.

Fran Scullion of DIT-MCO International. gave an interesting pre­sentation on high-voltage wire analyzers. He preceded his talk by giving the origin of his Company's name. The original company

designed drive-in theaters. The need for a device to check lond­speaker wiring became evident, so that was the next step in the Company's evolution. As the drive-in theater business declined, they modified the speaker-wiring analyzer for a variety of other applications. Today's computerized version can measure conti­nuity, or absence of continuity, on products from printed circuit boards to locomotives. The example he used was a simplE cable

containing only four wires. To test this cable, ten measurements are required, four for continuity and six for absence of continuity. He then described a 40-wire cable, and said that to test this cable requires 820 individual tests. but a computerized wiring analyzer could reduce this quantity to 39. His presentation displayed the lack of understanding regarding how complex a task checking a "simple" cable really is.

The day's final speaker was Dean Wilson of Troemner ]ncorpo­rated, who spoke about the difficnllies in quantifying mass stan­dards. He mentioned c-onsiderations such as air buoyancy and gravity besides the usual environmental concerns. He also stressed the need to reduce uncertainties due to vibration and magnetic interaction.

The next Seetion 2 meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 1998.

brator to the input of the oscilloscope. So . manufacturers of oscilloscope calibrators place the pulse generatQ and the leveling sensor in a pod configuration while other manufactnrers provide

matched coa"ial cables. The question '5, are there differences between a calibrator with a pod configura!\on and a calibrator with a matched coax t.ransmission line?

Comparisons were made between a "pod" system and a cable sys­tem with respect to frequency response, bandwidth. risetime and VSWR and the cable (np to 36") had no perceptible effect on the waveform. In conclusion, coax transmission lines are simple, rug­

ged, reliable and less expensive than a pod system. Coax trans­

mission lines with a calibrator providing low VSWR are a practi­cal, cost-effective alternative for more complex methods.

Peter Dack with Wavetek spoke on traceable calibrations of mul­tifunction calibrators using Ihe Wavt k 4950 Multifunction Stan­

dard. Multifunction calibrators have a wide variety of parameters that must be verified in llle calibrntioll process. These parameters can require the use or mUltiple ~l.·lIldBnls. In many cases, esc standards can not be amol1lulcd ~su1ting in time consuming manual calibrations and "ata anaiysi'

James (Chris) Guy Ceutral Indiana Section Coordinator

The Central Indiana NCSL Section met for it's Fall section meet­ing at the Library Services Center, lndianapolis, IN. Chris Guy opened the session by requesting that each participant introduce

themselves and briefly explain what motivated them to come to a section meeting. Not surprisingly, the overWhelming factor was the meeting topic. Members in the Indianapolis section are pri­marily interested in topics that pertain to electrical calibration.

Steve Griffin of Fluke Corporation and Region 1 Coordinator opened the topics portion of the meeting by introducing the audi­ence to some of the hurdles that need to be overeome before cali­brating the HP 3458A. Steve presentation introdnced the prob­lem in calibratiug a high accuracy DVM that is as accnrate as many of the voltages standards commouly nsed in DVM calibra­tions.

After lunch, the discussion topic was ISO 9000 series registra­tion. MIL-STD-45662A was canceled on February 27,1995. How are we, the metrology community doing with substituting other

documents two years, eight months later? Di scussion revealed a bell curve oflSO 9000 activity. One laboratory has become com­placent, most are busy making improvements in their compliance, two are very busy getting ready for first registration, one is think­ing about registering and one has different requirements.

The NCSL board of directors report was given by NCSL Execu­tive Vice President. William F. Quigley.

After our afternoon break, we reviewed RP-11, "Reports and Cer­tificatcs of Calibration". It was noted that this RP does not com­ply with ISO 9000 seTies or ANSIINCSL Z540 requirements.

We took a break from all this serions meeting SlUfr by dr,l\villg for door prizes supplied by NCSL.

We had one INPUT TO NIST: "Conld N[ST give more informa­tion on their reports?" Like current used to calibrate a resistor. It can make a difference, Also barometric pressure. It affects re­sistance and load cell ealibration."

We ended the meeting with a group discussion of general prob­lems:

1) One person inquired on recording environmental information in our calibration records. Barometric pressure affects resistance and load cells. Do we record it? The general response was, "If needed."

2) Another concern was the typicallemperature/humidity recorder kept in a calihration laboratory is accurate to 2% temperature and 4% humidity. [s that accurate enough? The response was, "A better instrument is nsed when needed,"

3) One calibration procedure for a 90kw, 3 phase power meter uses "Phantom Power". What is Phantom Power? The discussion of Phantom Power did not turn up any answers from those attending the meeting. It was snggesled that we ask Mike Magin, onr LA/Orange County Section Coordinator. (He works for Southern

California Edison.)

The fall meeting of NCSL Region 11, Kansas City Section was held on October 28th in Kansas City. Missouri. The meeting was hosted by John Dunnewind of Hewlett Paekard. Twenty Five members and guests attended.

Opening comments and the welcomes were made by Ken Jensen and host, John Dunnewind. Leon Barnes, Central Division VP, followed with an update of NCSL national and international ac­tivities.

The first technical paper was presented by Ron Russell, AlliedSignal FM&T. Ron walked through a typical uncertainty analysis for a pressure transducer using techniques described in NIST Test Note 1297.

Bill Gatheridge, Yokogawa Corporation, followed with a techni­cal overview of silicon resonant sensor technology in pressure transducers. The discussion included manufacturing details. and a comparison of technical characteristics to eonventional trans­ducer designs.

After a break. Jim Erickson of Blue Mountain software, presented "Intranet Applications for the Metrology Lab." Jim covered the latest trends in the use of intranet web pages and offered many suggestions as to how this technology can improve the eftlciency

the presentations continued with Jesse Gillikin of cGMP Valida­tions. Jesse gave a very informative and interesting insight into pharmaceutical validation activities.

The final presentation was made by Mike Clinesmith of AlliEdSignal FM&T, who discussed the development of an im­proved calibration artifact for coordinate measuring machines. Using a carbon fiber base with an array of precision torriods, thc new arti fact will be more durable and is expected to reduce CMM calibration time while maintaining the uncertainty levels of con­ventional artifaets.

Ken Jensen closed the meeting, asking all attendees to forward any ideas or suggestions they have for future meetings and to con­sider volunteering for a more active role in the section's activities.
