Automated test times are far less
than the manual equivalent.
ANSI Z540 and ISO 17025 uncer-
tainty analyses are guaranteed
to meet all requirements.
Combine the advantages you
have as a self-maintainer with
the experience that Agilent
has in high-performance
metrology to achieve the
optimum level of internal
process control and external
accreditation.
They are also guaranteed to return
more consistent, repeatable results
across all test conditions.
If you are trying to achieve certification,
you can rely on the Agilent uncertainty
analyses to meet the strictest interpre-
tations of Z540/17025 requirements.
The exact same analyses are used in
our certified Service Centers. All seat
licenses include Z540/17025 reporting
capability. For the 90-day licenses, you
can choose whether to pay a modest
price premium for Z540/17025 over
the commercial calibration license
price. Agilent TME software already
meets the requirements of Z540.3.
If you normally require a Z540 or
17025 calibration before you can put
equipment into program use, you can
now perform such a calibration on
your own, rather than arranging for a
special calibration from Agilent or other
service providers. Your “incoming
inspection” can be run as a Z540
(or 17025) calibration.
Your “cost of calibration” will be
predictable from year-to-year,
because all technical support, software
updates, new products and options,
and revision control are included in the
price of a single renewable license.
Agilent calibration routines are
available at the time of product/
option introduction.
If you purchase a newly-released
product or option, you can immediately
verify its performance, rather than
waiting 1-2 years for other software
alternatives (i.e. creating your own
test software or purchasing software
from a third party).
A knowingly maladjusted
instrument was chosen to gather
this data, to demonstrate how
measurement uncertainty can affect
the pass/fail conclusion associated
with measurement data that never
exceeds the actual specification
limit. “Indeterminate,” in this
case, should be taken to mean
“Adjustment Recommended,”
