3.3. Current monitor offset calibration
The module is calibrated by introducing a positive offset on the current monitor. This type
of calibration allows to monitor very low current thus removing possible issues due to
components and working temperatures related negative offsets. The absolute value of
delivered current can be quantified by following the steps below:
1) Turn on the module, after a warm-up of about 30 minutes with operating voltage and
load disconnected (no link between N1471 and detectors) then read the monitored
current value Imon = I1 (offset)
2) Turn off the channel and connect the load
3) Turn on the channel with the same voltage set as point 1)
4) Wait a few minutes and read again the current value monitor Imon = I2 ( Iout)
5) The value of current output is equal to the difference between I2 and I1 (Iout = I2 –
I1)
Leakage currents equal to 1 nA / kV shall be tolerated; e.g. Vout = 4000V, Imon = +6 nA
(2nA 4nA current leakage/4KV). The offset introduced is equal to 20nA for high
range and 2nA for low range with output voltage at 10% of full scale and 20 °C
temperature.
