In summer 2004 a full slice of the ATLAS detector -- including all detector subsystems from the inner tracker, the calorimetry to the muon system -- was exposed to particle beams (electrons, pions, photons, muons, protons) with different energies (from 1 GeV to 350 GeV). The aim was to study the combined performance of the different detector subsystems in ATLAS-like conditions.We present the electronics calibration scheme of the electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) and its complete implementation. The calibrated response of the EMC is compared to the Monte Carlo simulations, showing that a very good description of the data has been achieved. Results of the combined data analysis are presented, focusing on the combined reconstruction of converted photons using the EMC and the ATLAS inner tracker.
