Abstract

Development of virtual instruments is an important topic for researchers, industrial engineers, as virtual instruments offer a unique feature that allows instrument to be tailed to individual needs. Any measurement result is incomplete unless the uncertainty of measurement is calculated and quoted together with measurement result. Calculation of measurement uncertainty can be incorporated in virtual instruments but so far there are no mechanisms incorporated in software offered in software produce. The realization of uncertainty calculation is in hands of virtual instrument developers. The paper is presenting a proposal how to tackle the problem of uncertainty calculation in virtual instruments and is one of example of is presented here
