Typical values for the 1 V range:
smua.source.calibratev(-1, -1e-30, -1e-4, -0.9, -0.896)
22. If this step is not on the CALA sense mode, send the measure calibration command using the
multimeter and 2606B readings and range setting for the parameters:
smua.measure.calibratev(
-range, Z_rdg, DMM_Z_rdg, FS_rdg, DMM_FS_rdg
)
Where:
-range
= The negative of the present calibration range
Z_rdg
= The -zero 2606B measurement
DMM_Z_rdg
= The -zero DMM measurement
FS_rdg
= The -FS 2606B measurement
DMM_FS_rdg
= The -FS DMM measurement
Typical 1 V range values:
smua.measure.calibratev(-1, -1e-4, -1e-6, -0.89, -0.896)
23. Select automatic polarity mode:
smua.cal.polarity = smua.CAL_AUTO
Current calibration adjustment
1. Connect the 2606B SMU to the digital multimeter (see the following figure), and then select the
multimeter DC current function.

2. Send this command to initialize current calibration:
smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
