The United States Navy is developing a specialized calibration environment using ActiveX technology to create XML calibration procedures that have embedded automation components. The ActiveX automation components allow for automated control of the test instruments and calibration standards within an XML calibration document. The ActiveX components are populated through database tables containing information pertaining to the test instrument being calibrated, the calibration standards utilized, and the test actions to be performed. Automatic equipment detection, procedure performance options, and results data printing, storage, and viewing are also facilitated through the use of additional specialized ActiveX components. Calibration procedures can be performed manually using the normal text instructions or in an automated mode using the ActiveX components. Utilizing reusable modular test methods and sequences stored in a database, the new ActiveX driven calibration environment facilitates rapid development of automated procedures coexisting within the framework of the new XML based manual environment.
