Import Traceable Instrument Uncertainties Using A Template

It is possible to import uncertainties for a traceable instrument using a .csv template instead of building the uncertainty template line by line in the software.

To do this:

• Download the attached template from the bottom of this article
• Enter as many uncertainty line details as are required:
  • ID: The line number of the uncertainty. This should be sequential
  • Uncert_No: The line number of the uncertainty. This should be sequential  and should match the ID
  • Uncert_Desc: The line description. The description must not include commas as this will cause the import to fail
  • Range_Low to Ref_Zero: appropriate numeric values should be included in each of the uncertainty columns
    • For columns that don't require a value, please leave the field blank
• Save the file, ensuring that the filetype remains as ".csv"
• Launch ProSet
• Go to File > View/Edit Instrument Uncertainties
  
  
  
• Click "Import Uncertainty"
  
  
• Enter the requested uncertainty details, then select the file to be imported
• Click "Create Uncertainty"
  
  
  
• The uncertainty is now available in the software
