  • Patent number: 4088951
    Abstract: A computerized field meter calibration system which includes an apparatus for testing the calibration of field meters normally utilized for measuring electromagnetic field potential. A reference voltage is applied to the field meter for causing signals to be produced on the output terminals thereof. A bank of relays is provided for selectively connecting output terminals of the field meter to a multiplexer by means of a digital voltmeter and an oscilloscope. A frequency-shift-keyed receiver is also connected to one of the terminals of the field meter for transmitting and converting a frequency shift keyed signal to a digital signal which is, subsequently, applied to the multiplexer. A microprocessor is used for generating coded command signals to the bank of relays and also to the multiplexer for controlling the comparison of the output signals with information stored within the microprocessor to determine if the field meter is properly calibrated.
