Keithley 2400 SourceMeter review and teardown

<< < (22/24) > >>

kawal:
Ok - I could not wait for a reply and started looking at the much better Keithley 236 manual. There is a similar architecture in that SMU and the relay  should stay on per the manual. Still would love to see if that is the case in the other units that are 2400. I only have the one I am currently repairing so I cant be 100% sure.  Seems to be the same in firmware C11 and C32  that i tested.
So it would be great  if you guys can open up your 2400 and let me know if this behavior is normal.

TiN:
That Q234 is 4.95V, no matter if output enabled or disabled, in either front or rear. I think that relay provide connection for Guard terminal, and always ON does sound correct in such case.

Thank you for checking I really appreciate it.  That contact was driving me crazy especially that when the NIDAC was bad the output was -240V before i could enable the output. I thought that relay somehow would be off to protect the user. Thank you for confirming that  this is the intended way the unit should be working . I guess I did not need to replace the shift register that controls the output - oh well.  Per my recollection the relay provides connection from the amplifier out to the Hi out terminal .  From what i see Guard is not switched through this relay.

Also checked out your Video on the 2425 repair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-T1DK5Z2h8. Did not know about the secret menu for self testing.
Thanks again

The 2400 Lives. !!!!!!
Ok transistor Q400 replaced and 10uA range working now.  Looks like all ranges are fully functional time to send the unit for calibration. I did a calibration  with precision 1M resistor to check for functionality of 1uA and 10uA range.
 And that horizontal line is not a scratch if anyone asks.




TiN:
That reminds me I need to calibrate my 2400, after taking it apart to do measurements for you.
My K2400 also non-original, I have modified it with LM399 reference for each oomph.  :) Not that it matters really, but was fun easy mod.

Calibration Python program and E5810A aid adjustment automation and verification.
