Abstract
An electronic calibration component for calibrating a tester device is described. The calibration component has a signal input, to which a tester channel to be calibrated can be connected, and a phase difference circuit. The phase difference circuit can be connected to the signal input and can be connected to a reference clock signal. As a result, a phase difference information item is determined between a cyclic signal applied to the signal input and the reference clock signal. The electronic calibration component also has an output device in order to output the phase difference information item. The latter is received by a tester device that can be connected to the calibration component via tester channels. The tester device has a delay device that is connected to the tester channel in order to delay signals to be transmitted on the tester channel on the basis of the phase difference information item.
