Series 2600B System SourceMeter® instrument Reference Manual Section 10: Calibration
2600BS-901-01 Rev. F/August 2021 10-17
Adjustment cycle
Perform an adjustment at least once a year to make sure the instrument meets or exceeds
its specifications.
Recommended calibration adjustment equipment
The table below contains the recommended equipment for the calibration adjustment procedures.
You can use alternate equipment as long as that equipment has specifications equal to or greater
than those listed in the table. When possible, test equipment specifications should be at least four
times better than corresponding 2600B specifications.
