Appendix B: Calibration
Typical values for the Model 2601B/2602B/2604B 1 V range:
smua.source.calibratev(1, 1e-30, 1e-5, 0.9, 0.903)
Typical values for the Models 2611B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2635B/2636B 2 V range:
smua.source.calibratev(2, 1e-30, 1e-5, 1.8, 1.802)
12. If this step is not on the CALA sense mode, send the measure calibration command using the
multimeter and Series 2600B readings, and the range setting for the parameters. For example:
smua.measure.calibratev(range, Z_rdg, DMM_Z_rdg, FS_rdg, DMM_FS_rdg)
Where:
range
Z_rdg
DMM_Z_rdg
FS_rdg
DMM_FS_rdg
Typical Model 2601B/2602B/2604B 1 V range values:
smua.measure.calibratev(1, 1e-4, 1e-5, 0.92, 0.903)
Typical Model 2611B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2635B/2636B 2 V range values:
smua.measure.calibratev(2, 1e-4, 1e-5, 1.82, 1.802)
13. Select negative polarity, then set the source output to the negative zero value, for example:
smua.cal.polarity = smua.CAL_NEGATIVE
smua.source.levelv = -1e-30
14. Turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
15. Allow the readings to settle, then get both the multimeter and Series 2600B voltage readings at the
negative zero value (the Series 2600B measurement is not necessary if this calibration step is being
done on the CALA sense mode). The two measurements should be made as close as possible in time.
Use this command for the Series 2600B:
Z_rdg = smua.measure.v()
16. Turn off the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
17. Set the source output to the negative full-scale value, for example:
smua.source.levelv = -0.9 (Models 2601B/2602B/2604B)
smua.source.levelv = -1.8 (Models 2611B/2612B/2614B/2634B/2635B/2636B)
18. Turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
19. Allow the readings to settle, then get both the multimeter and Series 2600B voltage readings at the
negative full-scale output value (the Series 2600B measurement is not necessary if this calibration step
is being done on the CALA sense mode). The two measurements should be made as close as possible
in time. Use this command for the Series 2600B:
FS_rdg = smua.measure.v()
20. Turn off the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
21. Send the source calibration command using the range, -zero and -FS multimeter readings, and -zero
and -FS source values for the parameters:
smua.source.calibratev(-range, src_Z, DMM_Z_rdg, src_FS, DMM_FS_rdg)
