Coulombs Verification
Amps Verification
Connect the Model 617 to the Model 263 as shown in
Figure 1 and perform amps verification as follows:
1. On the Model 617, enable zero check and select the
2OmA range. Do not use autorange.
2. Check that the display reads 0.000 *l count. If not,
enable zero correct.
3. Using the AMPS (active) current source, program the
Model 263 to output 19.OOOOmA to the Model 6l7.
4. Disable zero check and verify that the reading on the
Model 617 is within the limits in the table.
5. Using Table 1 as a guide, repeat steps 1 through 4 for
the 2mA through 2nA current ranges.

Connect the Model 617 to the Model 263 as shown in
Figure 1 and perform coulombs verification as follows:
1. Using the COUL (ahive) charge source of the Model 263,
select the 2nC range.
2. Place the Model 263 in the coulombs function, and per-
form zero correction by enabling zero check and zero
correct in that order.
3. Release zero check on the Model 617.
4. Program the Model 263 for 1.9OOOOnC and press
OPERATE to source charge to the Model 617.
5. Verify that the Model 617 reads between 1.8943 and
1.9057nC.
