Calibration
Enable Auto
Calibration
Enables or disables the auto-calibration capability. If this box has been checked
(function ON), and the B1500 automatically starts calibration for all modules every
30 minutes if the output switches of all modules are off for 30 minutes. If
auto-calibration is enabled, do not forget to open the measurement terminals or
disconnect the device under test from the terminals after measurement.
SMU Zero Cancel
The SMU Zero Cancel tab screen is used to perform the SMU path offset current
measurement, and set the offset cancel function. Check the left check box of Name
to select the effective module. Open the measurement terminals at the cable end
before performing the offset measurement.
See also “Current Offset Cancel” on page 7-42.
SMU Zero Cancel Displays the following values.
Name Name of module
Full Range Full range measurement On or Off. Only for the HRSMU/ASU.
1nA Offset current measurement data in the 1 nA range.
100pA Offset current measurement data in the 100
pA range. Not
available for MPSMU and HPSMU.
10pA Offset current measurement data in the 10 pA
range. Not
available for MPSMU and HPSMU.
1pA Offset current measurement data in the 1 pA ran
ge. Not
available for MPSMU, HPSMU, and HRSMU.
Full Range Enables (On) or disables (Off) the 1 pA range of the HRSMU/ASU.
Integration Time Sets the integration time for the SMU path offset current measurement. 1 PLC
(p
ower line
cycle) to 100 PLC, initial setting 16 PLC.
Select All Selects all modules. This checks the check box for all modules.
Unselect All Unselects all modules. This unchecks the check box for all modules.
Measure... Performs the SMU path offset current meas
urement for the ef
fective modules.
