Step 6: Execute Automatic Corrections
Step 6: Execute Automatic Corrections
Automatic Corrections is initiated from the Soft Front Panel. Automatic
Corrections executes a function that automatically calculates corrections for the
M9195A/B. It does not require a calibration fixture or measurement equipment.
The name of the specific function is
Execute Automatic Corrections
.
Before calling Automatic Corrections, all cables to external fixtures (inputs to the
M9195A/B)
must
be disconnected from the M9195A/B.
The
Automatic Corrections Needed
function returns True if the current module
temperature has deviated by more than 5
o
C from the temperature where
automatic corrections were last calculated, or if it has never been run. With this
deviation of over 5
o
C, the measurement values from the PPMU may not be within
specifications.
You should runAutomatic Corrections at these times:
Keysight recommends yearly calibration to guarantee
specifications and to maintain the highest level of performance.
The module calibration can be performed at Keysight service
centers.
–
When the test system is initially set up (when you first receive and install
the M9195A/B in your PXIe system).
–
If there has been any change to the test system environment.
–
On a regular schedule as necessary; for example, you may want to perform
the Automatic Corrections daily, weekly, or monthly.
–
When the module temperature has changed more than 5
o
C from the
temperature at which automatic corrections were last calculated.
–
Whenever firmware on the module is upgraded or downgraded
Before you run Automatic Corrections:
(a) Disconnect all cables (for accuracy and to prevent damage)
(b) Save any data that you need (waveforms, cycle instructions,
etc.), as Auto Corrections will erase the memory in the module.
Be prepared for Automatic Corrections to take several minutes to
complete.
