# How to Calibrate a Multi-Channel Fieldbus Transmitter

[Home](https://www.beamex.com/us/) » [Videos](https://www.beamex.com/us/calibration-videos/) » How to Calibrate a Multi-Channel Fieldbus Transmitter

In this video, Mike shows you how to automatically calibrate a Foundation Fieldbus Multi-Channel Temperature Transmitter using the [Beamex MC6](https://www.beamex.com/us/calibrators/beamex-mc6/) and Beamex FB temperature dry block. The MC6 has a built-in Foundation Fieldbus communicator.

Use the Beamex MC6 Advanced Field Calibrator and Communicator with the [Beamex CMX](https://www.beamex.com/us/calibration-software/cmx/) calibration software to enable a fully paperless solution.
