Calibration
The information in this section is intended for qualified service personnel only, as described
by the types of product users in the Safety Precautions pages, provided at the beginning of
this document. Do not attempt these procedures unless you are qualified to do so.
Some of these procedures may expose you to hazardous voltages, that if contacted, could
cause personal injury or death. Use appropriate safety precautions when working with
hazardous voltages.
Use the procedures in this section to verify that the 2601B-PULSE accuracy is within the limits stated
in the one-year accuracy specifications of the instrument. Perform the calibration procedures:
• When you first receive the instrument to make sure that it was not damaged during shipment.
• To verify that the instrument meets factory specifications.
• To determine if calibration adjustment is required.
• After performing a calibration adjustment to make sure the instrument was adjusted properly.
The 2601B-PULSE contains a SMU module and a pulse module. Each module requires separate
calibration and adjustment. The instructions in this section for the SMU use the front panel. You can
also use remote programming commands. The pulse module must be calibrated and adjusted using
remote commands. Refer to Instrument programming (on page 10-1) for information on using
commands to control the instrument.
If the instrument is still under warranty and its performance is outside specified limits, contact your
Keithley Instruments representative or the factory to determine the correct course of action.
