Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but it seemed the closest. Our company manufactures a device emitting a high intensity light source. At one point in the manufacturing process the electrical current required to produce our specified light output is deteremined with a piece of measurement equipment. This process is being referred to by many in our company as "calibrating the device." My question is whether this truly is calibration, because my understanding is that only measurement devices are calibrated. And if it isn't calibration, what is a better term for this process? Thanks in advance.
