Figure 8.3: Squid Steps Failure Modes: Insets indicate problem (red) and correction<br />

(green). – a) Low SQ cut<strong>of</strong>f : The voltage cut<strong>of</strong>f detecting the switching is set<br />

too low leading to false positives. b) High SQ cut<strong>of</strong>f : The voltage cut<strong>of</strong>f is too high<br />

to detect the switch; instead it is crossed when the squid moves along the resistive<br />

part <strong>of</strong> the voltage branch. c) High V Start : The bias crosses I c during the ramp to<br />

V Start . d) Low V End : The bias barely/never crosses I c . e) Large ramp: The bias<br />

is ramped too quickly through I c . f) Functional squid: Perfect at last.<br />
