B. Send the following commands to initialize voltage adjustment:
smua.cal.unlock("KI0026XX")
smua.reset()
smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCVOLTS
It is not necessary to set the measure range when following this procedure for adjustment because
the measure range is locked to the source range when measuring the source function.
C. Perform each adjustment for the voltage source and measure function step listed in Adjustment
overview (on page 13-22) as follows:
1. Select the range being adjusted with this command:
smua.source.rangev = range
2. Select the correct sense mode based on the adjustment step for the voltage source and measure
function from the step sequence, for example:
smua.sense = smua.SENSE_LOCAL
3. Select positive polarity, and then set the source output to the positive zero value. For example:
smua.cal.polarity = smua.CAL_POSITIVE
smua.source.levelv = 1e-30
4. Turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
5. Allow the readings to settle, then get both the multimeter and 2601B-PULSE voltage readings at the
positive zero value (the 2601B-PULSE measurement is not necessary if this step is being done on the
CALA sense mode). The two measurements should be made as close as possible in time. Use this
command for the 2601B-PULSE:
Z_rdg = smua.measure.v()
6. Turn off the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
7. Set the source output to the positive full-scale value for the present range, for example:
smua.source.levelv = 0.9
8. Turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
9. Allow the readings to settle, then get both the multimeter and 2601B-PULSE voltage readings at the
positive full-scale output value (the 2601B-PULSE measurement is not necessary if this calibration step
is being done on the CALA sense mode). The two measurements should be made as close as possible
in time. Use this command for the 2601B-PULSE:
FS_rdg = smua.measure.v()
10. Turn off the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_OFF
