Automatic Calibration Software

Calibration Executive 3.3
Calibration Executive relies on external calibration standards to verify and adjust the performance of data acquisition products. The resulting calibration constants are then stored in a protected portion of the device's memory. In addition, Calibration Executive provides reporting capabilities for documenting the calibration results.

Relying on an intuitive user interface, Calibration Executive guides you through the configuration and calibration procedure. If you are using the supported GPIB equipment, the entire calibration procedure is automated. If you do not have one of the supported instruments, Calibration Executive will step you through the calibration process. The links shown below provide images of the operator interface.
