Test [button]
The test button can be used to test channel voltage levels both before and after calibration. The command
causes WaveCal to display the current voltage level for the selected channel(s). If concurrent calibration
has been selected, then the voltage levels for all 8 channels for will be displayed at once, as indicated in the
following figure. Otherwise, only the voltage level for the selected individual channel will be displayed.
A sample test is shown below. Note that readings from the User Calibration Table can be compared with
those resulting from the Factory Calibration Table, by toggling between the two radio button options.

A Calibration Example
The following example includes screen shots taken from calibration of a WaveBook/512. The calibration
process will be the same for other WaveBook systems.
The example makes use of the non-concurrent mode for two channels. With WaveCal running, the steps
are as follows:
1. We have placed a check in the
Calibrate box for Module #0, a
WaveBook/512 (in this example).
The module is now selected for
calibration.
Selecting a Module to Calibrate
2. We pull down the Calibrate menu and
select Start. Note that the key
can also be used.
The User Calibration Dialog Box
appears as seen in the figure for
step 3.
