I am not sure how many of you guys are planning on attending NCSLI this year.. But for those of you who do attend, I will be giving a half day to tutorial on programming in Metrology.NET.

It is some pretty powerful stuff. They system as a whole does much of the heavy lifting providing database, I/O and User Interface. So you the programmer can focus on Calibration Test Process. Developing complex multi-threaded metrology solutions in very little time.

Wish I could be there! I need to go to one of the NCSLI events one of these days. Problem is I'd be self funding my trip and I am a broke a-- calibrator.
Well you can cut your costs in half by writing a paper.
I am trying to get all you "Old Farts" out there to write at least one paper on how to do one thing in metrology correctly. We are going to be in deep Du-Du in 10 years because there is very little knowledge pass down to the next generation of mythologist.

Not quite an old fart yet 8-) I'm still in my early thirties but I had a lot of good old fart mentors! I agree that more needs to be written down. Not just methodology, but conceptual. Every time I train someone, I stress the importance of having a basic knowledge of what you're testing and why. And if you don't know the basics of Ohm's Law without Google GET THE HECK OUT OF DODGE!
Absolutely agree about basics like Ohms Law. I give technician candidates an assessment which includes some Ohm's Law questions just to make sure.
