4. Verify measure current accuracy for each of the currents listed in the table below for ranges
100 nA through 100 mA.. For each measurement:
•
Select the correct source range.
•
Set the Model 2651A output current such that the digital multimeter reading is the value indicated in the
source current column of the table below. It may not be possible to set the current source to get exactly
the required reading on the digital multimeter. Use the closest possible setting and modify the reading
limits accordingly.
•
If necessary, press the
TRIG
key to display readings.
•
Verify that the Model 2651A current reading is within the limits given in the table below.
5. Repeat the procedure for negative calibrator currents with the same magnitudes as those listed.

1. Measure range coupled to source range when simultaneously sourcing and measuring current.
2. As measured by precision digital multimeter. Use closest possible value, and modify reading limits
accordingly if necessary. See
Measurement limits calculations
(on page B-4).
3. The 20 A (DC level) source current uses the integrating ADC, while the 45 A (pulse) source current
uses the FAST ADC called form the high speed ADC pulse verification script.
