Description
smuX.cal.date = caldate
smuX.cal.due = caldue
smuX.cal.lock()
smuX.cal.password = "newpassword"
smuX.cal.polarity = polarity
smuX.cal.restore([calset])
smuX.cal.save()
calstate = smuX.cal.state
smuX.cal.unlock("password")
smuX.measure.calibratei(range,
cp1measured, cp1reference,
cp2measured, cp2reference)
smuX.measure.calibratev(range,
cp1measured, cp1reference,
cp2measured, cp2reference)
Set calibration date.
Set calibration due date.
Lock out calibration.
Change password to "newpassword".
Set polarity:
smuX.CAL_AUTO (auto polarity).
smuX.CAL_NEGATIVE (negative polarity).
smuX.CAL_POSITIVE (positive polarity).
Load calibration set of constants:
smuX.CALSET_NOMINAL (nominal constants).
smuX.CALSET_FACTORY (factory constants).
smuX.CALSET_DEFAULT (normal constants).
smuX.CALSET_PREVIOUS (previous constants).
Store constants in non-volatile memory as DEFAULT
calibration set.
Request calibration state:
smuX.CALSTATE_CALIBRATING
smuX.CALSTATE_LOCKED
smuX.CALSTATE_UNLOCKED
Unlock calibration (Default password: KI002601, KI002602,
KI002611, or KI002612.)
Calibrate current measure range:
2
±range (measurement range to calibrate).
cp1measured (Series 2600 measured value for cal. point 1).
cp1reference (reference measurement for cal. point 1).
cp2measured Series 2600 measured value for cal. point 2).
cp2reference (reference measurement for cal. point 2).
Calibrate voltage measure range:
2
±range (measurement range to calibrate).
cp1measured (Series 2600 measured value for cal. point 1).
cp1reference (reference measurement for cal. point 1).
cp2measured (Series 2600 measured value for cal. point 2).
cp2reference (reference measurement for cal. point 2).
1. smuX = smua for the Model 2601/2611; smuX = smua (Channel A) or smub (Channel B) for the Model 2602/2612.
2. Calibration point 1 should be performed at approximately 0% of range; calibration point 2 should be performed at
approximately 90% of range. See
Table 16-2 or Table 16-3 for calibration points.
