In this short episode Shahriar investigates the failure cause of a Keithley 2400 SMU. The unit powers on and responds to controls however produces no output signal. Further examination reveals that the VFD display shows no activity when the output is enabled; normally the measured output voltage and current are displayed. This failure points to a digital problem, potentially a failure in the analog board FPGA.
Upon close inspection the FPGA clocking circuitry appears to have a failed solder-joint. A quick re-flow of the affected part corrects the problem and the unit reports the appropriate readings. The unit is then upgraded to the latest firmware and calibrated using a Keithley 7510 DMM.
