The readout, control and calibration systems have been fully operational since 2007 and the detector has successfully collected data from the LHC single beams in 2008 and first collisions in 2009. This paper gives an overview of the Tile Calorimeter performance as measured using random triggers, calibration data, data from cosmic ray muons and single beam data. The detector operation status, noise characteristics and performance of the calibration systems are presented, as well as the validation of the timing and energy calibration carried out with minimum ionising cosmic ray muons data. The calibration systems{\textquoteright} precision is well below the design value of 1{\%}. The determination of the global energy scale was performed with an uncertainty of 4{\%}.", optnote="ISI:000285208000023", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=249), last updated on Tue, 22 Mar 2011 12:35:34 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-010-1508-y", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.5423", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-010-1508-y", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1007.5423", language="English" }
