4.3.4 Offset current tests
Offset current tests are performed by measuring the residual
current of each Model 6521/22 channel by closing each
channel in succession and then measuring the offset current
using the Model 6517 Electrometer.
Proceed as follows:
1. With the power off, install the Model 6521/22 Scanner
Card in the Model 6517 OPTION SLOT.
2. Connect the scanner card triax output cable to the Model
6517 INPUT jack. (See Figure 4-1.) Also install the
BNC (Model 6521) or triax (Model 6522) shielding cap
on each channel 1 input cable connector.
3. Program the Model 6517 for the current scan mode (see
paragraph 3.4.4).
4. Turn on the electrometer, and allow a one-hour warm-up
period before performing the offset current tests.
5. Select the electrometer amps function and the 20pA
range. Leave zero check enabled for the time being.
6. Press the OPTION CARD button, then use the
CHANNEL-CLOSURES menu to close channel 1 on
the scanner card.
7. Disable zero check, and allow the reading to settle.
8. Verify that the Model 6517 current reading, which rep-
resents the scanner card offset current, is <1pA.
9. Enable zero check, then open channel 1.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 for channels 2 through 10. For
each channel, be sure to connect the shielding cap to the
input cable, close the appropriate channel, then verify
that the offset current is <1pA.
