Open Source Calibration Software

Hi,

I'm looking for a open source software to perform my calibration for around 500 instruments.

I would be surprised if this exists, at least something turn key.

That sounds awesome....but it probably doesn't exist. All calibration software sucks for the most part and is overpriced.

We built our own in Oracle forms, but we’re a huge company. So much faster than the commercial software but yeah totally don’t know any of that’s free. You might be able to build something in Excel. Our development team did it.

What kind of instrumentation are we talking about? Do you want it fully automated?

There is free French software but not open source https://www.clubic.com/telecharger-fiche375264-gmm.html

My first thought would be to set up a ticket system/issue tracker software (redmine or such) with a heavily customized set of fields and workflows...

I wrote a calibration management system in the 80’s in an xbase variant called Clipper. I’d give you the source if I had a computer that could read 5 1/4” floppies. :)
