Details
Contact check measurement calibration does not require range information.
Typically, points one and two will be near 0 Ω and 50 Ω, respectively.
All four measurements (cp1Measured, cp1Reference, cp2Measured, and cp2Reference) must
be made with the calibration set that is active. If not, corruption of the calibration constants
may result.
The new calibration constants are activated immediately but are not written to nonvolatile memory.
Use smua.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 smua.cal.restore() function.
This function is disabled until a successful call to smua.cal.unlock() is made.
Example
-- Short SENSE LO and LO terminals.
-- Short SENSE HI and HI terminals.
-- Allow readings to settle, then get measurements.
r0_hi, r0_lo = smua.contact.r()
-- Connect 50 OHM resistor between SENSE LO and LO.
-- Connect 50 OHM resistor between SENSE HI and HI.
-- Allow readings to settle, then get measurements.
r50_hi, r50_lo = smua.contact.r()
smua.contact.calibratelo(r0_lo, Z_actual_lo, r50_lo, 50_ohm_actual_lo)
smua.contact.calibratehi(r0_hi, Z_actual_hi, r50_hi, 50_ohm_actual_hi)
The instrument performs a contact check.
Install and measure two resistors.
The user sends the contact check LO calibration command.
The user sends the contact check HI calibration command.
