Calibration & Zero Cancel
The SMU can be thought of as a sophisticated OP AMP. With any OP AMP there is an associated
input offset error. This error is small and varies with ambient temperature shifts and other factors. It
can be reduced to a negligible amount with a zero cancel function.
Zeroing is performed with the probes up. If there is a very large error to correct, you may get a
warning message. This usually means that SMU CALIBRATION has not been recently performed.
SMU calibration eliminates gross. ZEROing only has an effect on the 1 nA range or less.
Use the Calibration window to perform the SMU calibration and zero cancel. See the next page.
NOTE:
The B1500A provides the auto calibration function which automatically starts calibration for all
modules every 30 minutes if the output switches of all modules are off for 30 minutes. You can
enable or disable this function on the Calibration window. If auto-calibration is enabled, move
probes up (open measurement terminals) after measurement to prevent device damage and to
perform calibration correctly.
