From page 7...
... The ISD's technical capabilities are among the best in micro- and nanomanufacturing positioning systems, STEP NC and OMAC for real-time data models, machine compensation, machining tool path optimization, and Ethernet/IP performance testing. TECHNICAL MERIT RELATIVE TO STATE OF THE ART The ISD programs are well aligned with NIST's core roles and strategy, focusing on measurements, standards, and technology development for the benefit of industry and commerce.
