Details
This attribute controls which polarity calibration constants are used to make all subsequent measurements. This
attribute does not affect the
smu
X
.measure.calibrate
Y
()
or
smu
X
.source.calibrate
Y
()
commands.
The polarity for those commands is dictated by the range parameter that is given to the command. The
measurement calibration commands require the measurements provided to have been made using the polarity
being calibrated.
When making measurements for calibration points far away from zero, the desired polarity constants are
inherently used. However, when making measurements near zero, it is possible that the instrument could use the
calibration constants from the wrong polarity. Setting
smu
X
.cal.polarity
to positive or negative forces
measurements to be made using the calibration constants for a given polarity, rather than basing the choice on
the raw measurement data.
This attribute can only be set to positive or negative when calibration is unlocked. This attribute will automatically
be set to
smu
X
.CAL_AUTO
when calibration is locked.
Example
smua.cal.polarity = smua.CAL_POSITIVE
Selects positive calibration constants for all
subsequent measurements on SMU channel A.

X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,

applies
to SMU channel A)
calset
The calibration set to be loaded. Set
calset
to one of the following values:
0
or
smu
X
.CALSET_NOMINAL
: A set of calibration constants that are uncalibrated,
but set to nominal values to allow rudimentary functioning of the instrument
1
or
smu
X
.CALSET_FACTORY
: The calibration constants when the instrument left
the factory
2
or
smu
X
.CALSET_DEFAULT
: The normal calibration set
3
or
smu
X
.CALSET_PREVIOUS
: The calibration set that was used before the last
default set was overwritten
Details
This function overwrites the present set of calibration constants with constants read from nonvolatile memory.
This function is disabled until a successful call to
smu
X
.cal.unlock()
is made.
If
calset
is not specified,
smu
X
.CALSET_DEFAULT
is used.
