Las calibraciones de multímetros suelen realizarlas tanto los laboratorios secundarios como los estatales o privados. Es muy común que los institutos nacionales de metrología a menudo acepten multímetros digitales de precisión para la calibración con patrones de trabajo nacionales. [18] En este trabajo se describen y presentan los resultados de una comparación de multímetros entre laboratorios que se llevó a cabo en Costa Rica, entre marzo y noviembre de 2014, por el Laboratorio Metrológico de Variables Eléctricas del Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, en su rol de Instituto Metrológico Nacional designado en este país para las áreas de Electricidad, Magnetismo, Tiempo y Frecuencia. En la comparación participaron diez laboratorios e involucró la rotación de un multímetro como patrón viajero.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract [22] Digital Multimeters are used for numerous applications and are among the most common devices calibrated by metrology laboratories. Their calibrations are typically carried out by secondary laboratories, as well as state or private laboratories. In small countries, the national metrology institute often accepts digital multimeters for calibration with the national standard. [23] This paper presents and describes the results of a multimeter comparison conducted in Costa Rica, from march 2014 until november 2014, by the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad - Laboratorio Metrológico de Variables Eléctricas as a designated National Metrology Institute in Costa Rica for Electricity, Magnetism, Time and Frequency. The comparison involved ten participating laboratories and one digital multimeter (travelling standard).]]></p></abstract>
