# Calibrating the K-TCxx

You can calibrate the K-TCxx to Improve the Accuracy of the measurements. The software allows you to cycle through a number of measurement points. Once done, committing the calibration will apply the calibration to the K-TCxx, and measurement accuracy will be improved.

Alternatively, press the start button and attach the appropriate thermocouple test signals to the inputs of the K-TCxx in order to cycle through the test points in order to calibrate the K-TCxx for maximum accuracy:

Select the Channel of the Calibration Point you wish to calibrate by either clicking the Radio Button on the channel.

Adjust the input temperature from the calibrated test equipment that you are using to match the voltage for the test point:

If the input temperature is stable and correct, the calibration of the channel will be updated as follows:

If it is not, you will receive a warning:

Repeat the steps above until you have calibrated all the calibration points.
