This test macro calculates measurement uncertainty for each setpoint in the test. Calculation is done per the Fluke Calibration Application Note "Implementing ISO 17025 Measurement Uncertainty Requirements In Software" dated March 2012, document 1282496C. A link to download a copy is at the end of this Article. The macro also calculates a guardbanded tolerance and calculates TUR. If you have some understanding of VBscript and macros in COMPASS for Flow then you can edit the calculations and/or add to them.
Make sure UserDefined8, UserDefined9, UserDefined10, StringData9 and StringData10 are saved to the data file in [Tools], <Options>, <Data In File>. You will need to be running an Advanced test to use this macro and this macro needs to be chosen as the "Test Event Macro" on the Data tab, and "Timed Macro Interval(ms)" needs to be 0 (zero).
It is recommended to manually verify the calculated values before relying solely on this macro. Lines that begin with cDebug.LogStatus are used to show text and macros in the COMPASS Macro Spy where the option exists to log all of these to a log file at C:\dhi\common\MacStat.log
See this article for information on the macro spy and the log file.

Below is a link to a file containing the text of the macro that can be copy/pasted into the COMPASS Macro Editor as a new Test macro. Use CTRL+V to paste into the macro editor because right-clicking then paste is not an option.
Other attached files are a sample data file and calibration report generated with this macro and the attached COMPASS Report Editor template.
Here's an optional macro to set the reference tolerance based on the pressure that you're at. You could possibly set these by your CMC,
Reference Uncertainty By Range
/en-US/hc/en-us/articles/209941913
'Rev 3, 28-August-2015 added multiple DUT capability & TUR
'Rev 4, 02-Sept-2015 added units to UserDefined 1 to 3
'Rev 5, 23-Sept-2015 Changed 330 in "If cCompass.CurrentTestStep = 330" to 325 because Uncertainty
' Parameters were not updating in data grid
'Rev 6, 07-Mar-2016 Added more comments in debug statements for more info on what S1, S2,... are.
' Set TUR resolution to 1 digit
'Rev 7, 08-Mar-2016 Added resolution for Unc. and GB Tol. in the first few lines of code
' Added CInt(iC) for multiple Pressure Cycle support (PresCyclIndex)
'Rev 8, 05-Apr-2016 Moved "Tolerance with Guardband failed" message box to the correct if-then-else statement
'Rev 9, 18-Jun-2018 Edited to work with multiple temperature and/or line pressure cycles. Added units to more
' debug statements
'Rev 10, 06-May-2019 Changed to save uncertainty parameters to User8, User9, User10, StringData8 & StringData9.
'Rev 11, 29-Oct-2019 Added option to query 2271A, 6270A, 8270A or 8370A reference pressure uncertainty.
' Added option to query Global Macro for reference pressure uncertainty.
'Rev 12, 13-Apr-2022 Changed i to 1 when getting Ref Unit and Ref Unit Text. (broke in Rev 9?)
' The macro only supports 1 reference in a test.
'Rev 13, 20-Apr-2022 Changed from SetPrs to RefPrs
' reply = cCOMPASS.cConfig.SetPrs(1).ioSendCommand (CStr(cmd),False,0)
' to this in Ref Uncertainty from 6270A/2271A/8270A/8370A section of code
' reply = cCOMPASS.cConfig.RefPrs(1).ioSendCommand (CStr(cmd),False,0)
'Rev 14, 20-May-2022 Changed directions to ensure StringData8 is in the data file and not StringData10. Added
' CDbl assignments to some values to ensure that the values are double precision numbers and maintain
' their values when using commas as the decimal separator.
'Rev 15, 12-Oct-2022 “325” in "If cCompass.CurrentTestStep = 325" causes the first pass of the macro to not
'work for more than one DUT. However it runs through again and works. This was changed in Rev 5 also.
' Using 325 is "Averaging is completed but not yet written to data file" but causes errors with multiple DUTs
' Using 330 is "Averaging is completed and logged in the data file" but doesn't update data grid
'Rev 16 13-Nov-2024 Updated attached template to user proper uncertainty fields as macro changes these
