The Current Channel is Enabled but not Operating
There is not yet output at the 6100B output terminals. The system must be set to operate
mode to achieve this. If the system was set to operate at this point, nothing would appear
at the voltage terminals because that channel is not enabled. The system would attempt to
output 0.5 A from the current terminals but this would generate a warning message as the
output is open-circuit. This will be addressed once the Current channel is set up.
Set Up the L1 Current Channel
To change the settings for an output channel first move the Menu focus to the Waveform
menu.
1. Push  twice. The Menu focus moves to the Waveform menu. See Figure 8.

3. Use the  and  or the scroll wheel to set the range to 2 A. Push  or  to
complete the entry and move focus to the RMS field.
4. Set the output RMS value to 2.0 A using the controls as described in “Data Entry
