5.
Configure the Ectron TC Simulator to Source mode with the following settings:
a.
Output Mode: Voltage
b.
Material: Copper
c.
Terminals: Binding Post
d.
Offset: 0
6.
Set the Ectron TC Simulator to output 0V.
7.
Click ‘Initiate Measurement’. FIFO Records and Acquired Records will increment to 1.
8.
Set Download Records to 1, then click ‘Download CSV’.
9.
Open the downloaded csv file using a spreadsheet program. For each channel, calculate the
average of the 10 samples. Write down the values.
10.
Repeat this process for the three remaining range settings (1V, 100mV, 10mV) by selecting the
range in the ‘Channels’ window and repeating the previous steps.
11.
When finished, remove the shorting plugs.

This procedure is performed to evaluate the gain error on each channel path.
1.
All EX1401 acquisition parameters and hardware setup remain the same as previous section.
2.
Set the Ectron TC Simulator to 10V.
3.
Initiate a measurement on the EX1401.
4.
Download the csv file and average the 10 samples from the 16 channels.
5.
Configure the Ectron to output -10V and repeat steps 3 and 4.
6.
Calculate 10V Gain for each channel as
(𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝐸𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑒𝑡 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 − 𝑁𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝐸𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑒𝑡 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒)
(𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝐸𝑋1401 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 − 𝑁𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝐸𝑋1401 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔)
7.
Repeat for the three remaining Range settings (1V, 100mV, 10mV).
8.
Change the Clock value to 20000 under the ‘Sampling’ table.
9.
Repeat steps 2 through 7.

Now that you have calculated Offset and Gain Coefficients, you are ready to save them in the non-
volatile memory of the EX1401 instrument. This procedure involves manually editing the
calibration coefficients file, which must be performed with care.
1.
In the Soft Front Panel ‘Current Full Calibration’ section, click ‘Download’
2.
Open the downloaded JSON calibration file using any JSON editor application
