3. Introduction



The DS-CAL test board is a calibration device and DSCalibrator is the software used for calibration and

testing of DEWESoft UUT. The calibration system consists of:

● A computer or PC (running DSCalibrator software)

●Multifunction calibrator

●Digital multimeter

●DS-CAL test board

●UUT

●Proper set of cables according to the UUT



In order for a correct operation of your calibration system the procedures described in this manual must

be followed. If you should encounter any problems during the installation and use please feel free to

contact our support team.



3.2. Basic principle

The multifunction calibrator is used for generating signals which are measured by the DEWESoft UUT.

The DSCalibrator software (in cooperation with DEWESoft) records these measurements and also

makes adjustments to the calibration factors stored in the UUT. The DS-CAL test board is used for

distributing the signals to and from the UUT and is controlled by the DSCalibrator software over the CAN

or USB interface. The digital multimeter is used for measuring output voltage or current (for example

the excitation voltage)
