All notes produce a frequency that can be measured in a number of hertz (vibrations per second). Most tuners are set to the ISO standard, which is an A at 440 hertz. Some tuners, however, allow you to recalibrate to something other than the standard. For example, you might be able to tell a configurable tuner that A = 429 hertz instead.

What does Calib stand for on your tuner?

The 'Calib' button on your chromatic tuner is used to calibrate the tuner. Standard tuning has 440 hertz frequency difference between half-steps on the musical scale. Some tuners will allow you to re-tune this to 441 or a few hertz off. The calibrate button selects the frequency. Make sure you get it set to the right frequency (stick with 440 hertz), or you'll create audible harmonic interference when playing with others.
