Model 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual Section 13: Calibration

2601B-PULSE-901-01A April 2020 13-15

Pulse accuracy

These steps verify that the 2601B-PULSE pulse current, voltage measurement, and current

measurement accuracy is within specified limits.

For detail on wiring the pulse load, refer to Pulse loads (on page 13-3).

To verify current, voltage measurement, and current measurement accuracy, perform

these steps:

1. Remove power from the 2601B-PULSE.

2. Connect the multimeter to the 2601B-PULSE terminals as shown in the figure below.
