Measurement uncertainty - Software based modelling and simulation using complex measurement procedures

The software MUSE supports the user to define measurement procedures for the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty using Monte Carlo technique. This technique takes the complete information about distributions into account and does not require a linearised model as the classical GUM method. The program provides among other things various approaches for modelling measurements with only few data points. The system is capable of modelling cut distributions and dependencies between influences. Simulation allows the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty before the actual measurement takes place. It helps the user to identify important influences.
