Usage
smuX.measure.calibrateY(range, cp1Measured, cp1Reference, cp2Measured,
cp2Reference)
X
Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,
smua.measure.calibratev() applies to SMU channel A)
Y
SMU measurement function (v = voltage, i = current)
range
The measurement range to calibrate
cp1Measured
The value measured by this SMU for calibration point 1
cp1Reference
The reference measurement for calibration point 1 as measured externally
cp2Measured
The value measured by this SMU for calibration point 2
cp2Reference
The reference measurement for calibration point 2 as measured externally
Details
This function generates and activates new calibration constants for the given range.
The positive and negative polarities of the instrument must be calibrated separately. Use a positive
value for range to calibrate the positive polarity and a negative value for range to calibrate the
negative polarity.
Typically, the two calibration points that are used are near zero for calibration point 1 and 90% of full
scale for calibration point 2.
All four measurements (cp1Measured, cp1Reference, cp2Measured, and cp2Reference) must
be made with the calibration set that is active. Corruption of the calibration constants may result if this
is ignored.
The new calibration constants are activated immediately but they are not written to nonvolatile
memory. Use smuX.cal.save() to save the new constants to nonvolatile memory. The active
calibration constants stay in effect until the instrument is power cycled or a calibration set is loaded
from nonvolatile memory with the smuX.cal.restore() function.
This function is disabled until a successful call to smuX.cal.unlock() is made.
