4. Set the output RMS value to 2.0 A using the controls as described in “Data Entry
from the Front Panel” above. Note that focus shifts to the Bandwidth limit control.
Leave that setting as it is.
3-13. Over-Compliance Warning Message
If the current channel output is turned on while the current terminals are open circuit, the
over-compliance voltage trips will be activated. The output will turn off and an orange
background warning will be displayed. The reason for this is that without a load the
current cannot be established because the voltage compliance limit will be exceeded.
Simply put, the voltage is developed across a load is determined by OHMS law, i.e.,
V = I x Z. As the terminals are open, the output sees very high impedance which requires
very high voltage. The 6100B 10 V limit is exceeded so the over compliance trips will be
activated.
Turn the output ON by pushing . Almost immediately, the trips operate and an orange
background warning message appears. See Figure 3-8.

Complete the Current Circuit and Turn the Output On
1. Fit a short circuit across the Instrument output terminals.
2. Push again. The output remains on this time and the Instrument is in Operate
mode. Notice that the Output Menu Enabled and Sine blocks for L1 current are green.
See Figure 3-9. The green indicator light for current (above the output terminals) is
illuminated and shows a green light.
