Automated Test Equipment Software for Calibration Labs
Test Equipment Automation Software
Modern calibration and verification procedures often require hundreds of measurements, manual calculations, and careful monitoring of instrument behavior. Performing these procedures manually can consume hours of technician time and introduces opportunities for transcription errors or inconsistent test execution.
Domini Technologies develops automation software for electronic test equipment, allowing calibration laboratories, repair facilities, and engineering teams to execute complex verification procedures quickly and consistently.
Our software integrates directly with programmable instruments to control measurements, evaluate results, and guide technicians through structured workflows designed for repeatability and accuracy.
What Test Equipment Automation Solves
Many calibration and verification procedures involve repetitive tasks such as:
- configuring multiple instruments
- sourcing signals and recording measurements
- calculating tolerances
- documenting results
- monitoring instrument stability
Manual execution of these steps slows throughput and increases the likelihood of mistakes.
Automation software replaces these manual processes with repeatable measurement sequences, allowing technicians to focus on evaluating instrument behavior rather than managing the test process.
Benefits include:
- Faster verification procedures
- Consistent test execution
- Automated tolerance calculations
- Reduced transcription errors
- Increased technician productivity
Designed for Real Calibration Workflows
Domini Technologies automation software is designed specifically for test and measurement environments, not generic manufacturing software.
Our automation solutions can control a wide range of programmable test equipment including:
- multifunction calibrators
- digital multimeters
- oscilloscopes
- RF signal generators
- frequency counters
- spectrum analyzers
- power meters and sensors
The software communicates with instruments using common interfaces such as:
- GPIB (IEEE-488)
- LAN / LXI
- USB
- RS-232
This allows automation to be implemented using the equipment already present in most calibration laboratories.
PayPerCal Automation Platform
Our PayPerCal platform provides a growing library of automated performance verification procedures for commonly used instruments.
These programs allow labs to run automated tests without developing custom scripts internally.
Capabilities include:
- automated test sequencing
- tolerance evaluation
- automated data logging
- guided technician workflows
- support for multiple instrument configurations
Labs can access these procedures on a pay-per-use basis, making automation accessible without large upfront software investments.
Custom Automation Development
Many calibration procedures require specialized workflows or adjustment routines that cannot be handled by generic calibration software.
Domini Technologies provides custom automation development for:
- performance verification procedures
- calibration workflows
- adjustment procedures for calibrators
- RF and microwave testing
- integration of multiple instruments into automated test systems
These solutions are developed in collaboration with the customer to match their existing equipment, procedures, and workflow requirements.
