Guidelines for filling CMC in Time and Frequency - NIST
Guidelines for filling CMC in Time and Frequency
Calibration or measurement services:
• See WGMRA_Guideline_01
o Quantity: list only those quantities you need to put in the CMC. Measurements that you never do for a client do not need to be listed even if you can do them. Avoid useless work.
o Instrument or artifact: list the device to which you compare the device under test.
o Instrument type or method: list the method used to do the measurement.
Measurement level or range:
• The measurand minimum and maximum values for time scale differences are often expressed as -1 and +1, since it is assumed that clocks are measured using the one Pulse Per Second output.
• When the measurand minimum and maximum values are the same, it is to express that measurements are taken at that nominal value.
• Otherwise, the minimum and maximum values express the limits of the range over which the measurement capacity is defined.
• Use SI units of course.
Measurement conditions/independent variables:
• Parameters: List the parameters that can affect the measurements, like temperature, humidity, amplitude, averaging time, rise time, etc.
• Specifications: specify the values of the above mentioned parameters.
Expanded uncertainty:
• Value: value of the uncertainty.
• Unit: generally the unit used for the measurement, Hz or second. When the uncertainty is a relative one it is better to specify the unit of measurement divided by the nominal value at which the measurement is done, hence Hz/Hz for a relative frequency uncertainty.
• Coverage factor: generally 2 when it is believed that the noise is of Gaussian distribution with a width of 1 sigma.
• Expanded uncertainty: generally 95%, corresponding roughly to the coverage factor of 2.
• Is the expanded uncertainty a relative one? Yes or No.
Reference standard used in calibration:
• Standard: list the standard used for the measurement or comparison.
• Source of traceability: where is that standard.
List of Comparisons supporting this measurement:
• We suggest to cite both the BIPM Circular T and the CCTF-K001.TF if you are listed in the Circular T. If not, list the measurements appropriate for your laboratory (GPS common view with another laboratory, clock transport, etc.)
SIM Time and Frequency Services Administration:
• NMI service identification: put here the identification used with your clients for the service
• Service category: put here the corresponding service category according to WGMRA_Guideline_01.doc.
• NMI: put your NMI designation.
• Internal comment: whatever comments you may feel needed to explain something in the previous columns.
Comments to the user:
• any comments that the user may need to do a proper calibration.
SIM review: will be used later for intra regional review of the CMC.
