Step 3. Current adjustment
A. Connect the 2601B-PULSE SMU to the digital multimeter (see the following figure), and then
select the multimeter DC current function.
B. Send this command to initialize current adjustment:
smua.source.func = smua.OUTPUT_DCAMPS
Figure 159: Connections for 100 nA to 1 A current ranges
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 step listed in the step sequence for the 100 nA through 1 A ranges as follows:
1. Select the range being adjusted:
smua.source.rangei = range
2. Select the correct sense mode based on the step sequence, for example:
smua.sense = smua.SENSE_LOCAL
3. Select positive polarity, then set the source output to the positive zero value:
smua.cal.polarity = smua.CAL_POSITIVE
smua.source.leveli = 1e-30
4. Turn on the output:
smua.source.output = smua.OUTPUT_ON
