The High Pressure Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter (HPGSPC) is one of the Narrow Field Instruments of the Italian-Dutch X-ray astronomy satellite SAX. Sensitive in the hard X-ray band (4 - 120 keV), with a very good energy resolution, the HPGSPC is well suited for studying in detail the cyclotron features present in the hard X-ray spectrum of some celestial sources. The authors briefly describe the on-ground instrument calibration system and report some preliminary results that show the performances of both single/double event and position reconstruction/energy correction onboard processing. Preliminary results concerning the energy resolution and energy linearity are reported too.
