Last Cal displays the date the system was last calibrated. The date indicates when calibration constants
were last written to WaveBook’s internal EEPROM.

;
Calibrate: Checking the Calibrate check-box informs WaveCal that the applicable module and its
related options are to be calibrated for at least one channel.
•
;
Concurrent: Checking the Concurrent check-box informs WaveCal that all module channels are to
be calibrated simultaneously, instead of individually. If this box is not checked the 2-point calibration
process calibrates each channel (of the applicable module) on an individual basis.
By using the Concurrent method you will greatly reduce your system’s calibration time.
Make sure all of the system modules and options are properly connected and correctly listed in the
WaveBook Calibration Tool window. After this verification you may select the module(s) to calibrate and
whether their channels are to be individually or concurrently calibrated.
Performing System Calibration
Open the Calibrate pull-down menu and click Start to access a User Calibration box
for the selected module (see following figure).
Aspects of the User Calibration dialog box are discussed on the following page.
