smua.source.calibratev(200, 1e-30, 1e-5, 180, 179.8)
12. If this step is not on the CALA sense mode, send the measure calibration command using the
multimeter and Model 2657A readings, and the range setting for the parameters. For example:
smua.measure.calibratev(
range, Z_rdg, DMM_Z_rdg, FS_rdg, DMM_FS_rdg
)
Where:
range
= The present calibration range
Z_rdg
= The +zero Model 2657A measurement
DMM_Z_rdg
= The +zero DMM measurement
FS_rdg
= The +FS Model 2657A measurement
DMM_FS_rdg
= The +FS DMM measurement
Typical Model 2657A 200 V range values:
smua.measure.calibratev(200, 1e-4, 1e-5, 178.8, 179.8)
13. Select negative polarity, then set the source output to the negative zero value, for example:
smua.cal.polarity = smua.CAL_NEGATIVE
smua.source.levelv = -1e-30
14. Turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
15. Allow the readings to settle, then get both the multimeter and Model 2657A voltage readings at the
negative zero value (the Model 2657A measurement is not necessary if this calibration step is being
done on the CALA sense mode). The two measurements should be made as close as possible in time.
Use this command for the Model 2657A:
Z_rdg = smua.measure.v()
16. Turn off the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
17. Set the source output to the negative full-scale value, for example:
smua.source.levelv = -180
18. Turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
19. Allow the readings to settle, then get both the multimeter and Model 2657A voltage readings at the
negative full-scale output value (the Model 2657A measurement is not necessary if this calibration step
is being done on the CALA sense mode). The two measurements should be made as close as possible
in time. Use this command for the Model 2657A:
FS_rdg = smua.measure.v()
20. Turn off the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
21. Send the source calibration command using the range, -zero and -FS multimeter readings, and -zero
and -FS source values for the parameters:
smua.source.calibratev(
-range, src_Z, DMM_Z_rdg,
src_FS, DMM_FS_rdg
)
Where:
-range
= The negative of the present calibration range
src_Z
= The -zero Model 2657A programmed source output value
DMM_Z_rdg
= The -zero DMM measurement
src_FS
= The -FS Model 2657A programmed source output value
DMM_FS_rdg
= The -FS DMM measurement
Typical values for the Model 2657A 200 V range:
smua.source.calibratev(-200, -1e-30, -1e-4, -180, -179.8)
22. If this step is not on the CALA sense mode, send the measure calibration command using the
multimeter and Model 2657A readings and range setting for the parameters:
smua.measure.calibratev(
-range, Z_rdg, DMM_Z_rdg, FS_rdg, DMM_FS_rdg
)
