3-7. Sample Reference Signal and F10
The external keyboard F10 key replicates the “OUTPut:ROSCillator” ON/OFF GPIB
command. Pushing F10 toggles the Sample Reference signal output ON and OFF.
The Sample Reference signal can be used to synchronize sampling instrumentation in a
measurement system. See Chapter 7.
3-8. Set Up Exercise
A 6100B or 6105A is required to perform the following training exercise. The task is to
set up the current channel to output 2.0 A. After following the power up instructions
earlier in this manual, the L1 voltage channel (L1 V) output values are shown with a
white background. See Figure 3-3. Note the L2, L3 and N channels are grayed out as
Auxiliary units are not connected.
