In the summer of 2001, a description of the international project COMET (EU) focused on the development of multimedia for education in the field of measurement and metrology was presented. Information and communication technologies make it possible to effectively use both traditional and innovative means and forms of education. The use of information technology makes it possible to create distance learning for students.
Modeling of measuring equipment and software development are introduced in the creation of computer laboratory work, which allows you to get a good result. The paper considers the issue of using computer training programs in the training of metrologists at the Department of Information and Measuring Technologies of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. I. Sikorsky.
Verification of measuring instruments is the main element of ensuring the uniformity of measurements in the country. Computer simulation of verification of a digital phase displacement meter is considered.
In the work, a digital phase shift meter of the F2-34 type was used as a test measuring instrument, designed to measure the phase shift between two synchronized sinusoidal signals. A phase shift calibrator of the F1-4 type was used as a reference instrument. Since the basic error of the reference measuring instrument does not exceed 1/3 of the permissible basic error of the test instrument, according to the requirements of [1], it makes it possible to implement the verification method - the method of direct measurements.
he development environment LabVIEW 2015[2] was used to develop a simulation model of a phase shift meter. Keywords: simulation model, phase shift, calibrator, reference tool, sinusoidal signal, measurement range, frequency, error
Statement of the problem

The input voltage range is from 2 mV to 3 V, the frequency range of the input signals is 0.2 Hz - 5 MHz, the main measurement error is ±0.01 0 and the reference measuring instrument is the phase shift calibrator of the F1-4 type, with the limits of the permissible basic error of ±0.030 at frequency 20÷104 Hz, ±0.050 at frequency 104÷106 Hz. Phase shift calibrator type F1-4, designed to reproduce phase shifts in the range 0-(±360) 0 with a resolution of 100 at 5 Hz-2 MHz.

4.Computer simulation of verification of a digital phase meter
4.1. Introduction.
To develop a simulation model of a phase shift meter, the LabVIEW 2015 development environment was used. Program development in LabView occurs simultaneously in two windows: a block diagram and a front panel. A graphical interface of the program is created on the front panel and, in parallel, the interface is connected with the program itself, created using special blocks. Thus, the graphic code of the program has the form of a specific block diagram. The measurement system created in LabVIEW has more flexibility than the standard laboratory instrument, as it uses the variety of possibilities of modern software. And it is you, not the equipment manufacturer, who determines the functionality of the device being created. The VI consists of two main parts: - front panel (Front Panel), on which there are control knobs, buttons, graphic indicators and other controls (controls), which are means of data input from the user, and indication elements (indicators) - the source data from the program. The user enters data using the mouse and keyboard, then sees the results of the program on the monitor screen;
4.2 Verification procedure
The main error of the phase shift meter is determined by the method of comparison with an active or "passive" reference measure, or independent verification. If the error of the reference measure does not exceed 1/3 of the limit of the main permissible error of the phase meter, the main error is determined using an active measure, which is used as a phase shift calibrator or two-phase generators. In this work, a phase shift calibrator is used as a reference measure.
When testing a digital phase displacement meter, the following operations are performed:
1.Test
2.Voltage control at the inputs of the phase meter
3.Evaluation of metrological characteristics:
3.1Determination of measurement error with equal optimal values of input signals.
3.2Determination of the measurement error with weakened and constant equal values of the input signals.
3.3Determining the measurement error when changing the level of input signals in one of the channels.
