Virtual Training Laboratory for Primary Impedance Metrology

Abstract

This article presents the concept and some aspects of the physical implementation of a virtual training laboratory (VTL) in the field of primary impedance metrology. The creation of a VTL provides a novel method of disseminating metrological knowledge and expertise in a practical way and at a low cost. It will expose new users to the live experience of operating a digital impedance bridge thus helping to encourage the uptake of this novel and useful impedance measurement technology. The VTL was developed as part of the EMPIR projects VersICal 17RPT04, A versatile electrical impedance calibration laboratory based on digital impedance bridges, and GIQS 18SIB07, Graphene impedance quantum standard.
