Page 9: Introduction
It is safe to parallel current outputs to obtain higher currents than available from a single 6100B or 6105A. For example, four units with 50 A options can deliver up to 200 A with the same accuracy as a single 50 A output. -

Figure 1 shows the layout of connections on the rear of a Master instrument. 6101B and 6106A have one Auxiliary Control Input. The older 6101A can also be added as Auxiliary units to 6100B and 6105A Master units. When upgraded to firmware issue 4.10 or greater the older 6100A Master can control any... -

Page 22: The Main User Interface Areas
6100B/6105A Getting Started The Main User Interface Areas The user interface is divided into five areas. There are three Menu panes, a message window, and at the bottom, the context-sensitive Softkey indicators. See Figure 3. gdw04.bmp Figure 3. Graphical User Interface The Menu fields are accessed sequentially clockwise by pushing . -

Electrical Power Standards The Main User Interface Areas • Under the Waveform Menu is the Message Window which provides context-sensitive help and warning and error messages. The background of this area is white for help messages and orange for warnings. Warnings include messages indicating that invalid data has been entered or operating boundaries would be exceeded if a set up request were processed. -

to move the entry point and then the TUV key a second time. Direct/Indirect Mode Changes to 6100B settings will usually be made one at a time. Sometimes it is necessary to make a number of changes all at once. Consider a three phase system where all three voltage phases are set to 120 V. -
Page 25: Sample Reference Signal And F10
This is described in the Users Manual. 6100B Set Up Exercise A 6100B or 6105A is required to continue with this 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. -
Page 26: Switch To The Current Output
Figure 5. The Output Menu (L1 Current Selected) Enable the Current Channel A channel must be enabled before an output is placed at the 6100B binding posts. Both the L1 voltage and current channels both show “Disabled”. Before an output can appear at the output terminals the relevant channel must be “Enabled”. -
Page 27: The Current Channel Is Enabled But Not Operating
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. -
Page 28: Over Compliance Warning Message
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 is 10 V limit is exceeded so the over compliance trips will be activated. -
Page 29: Complete The Current Circuit And Turn The Output On
1. Fit a short circuit across the 6100B output terminals. 2. Push again. The output remains on this time and the 6100B is in Operate mode. Notice that the Output Menu Enabled and Sine blocks for L1 current are green. See Figure 10. -
Page 30: Four-Wire Sense
6100B/6105A Getting Started Four-wire Sense In two-wire sensing, the sense point for the control system feedback loop is at the back of the terminals. Any current flowing in the leads connecting the OUTPUT terminals to the load causes a volt drop in the leads. As a result, the voltage at the load is less than at the terminals and accuracy is compromised. - Page 31 Electrical Power Standards Two-wire / Four-wire Voltage Settings gdw15.bmp Figure 13. Front-panel Terminal Configuration Note that the softkeys have changed. Select two or four wire using the softkeys, or with and or the Scroll Wheel when the Voltage Binding Posts group has focus. Two wire is the initial default setting but the setting is non-volatile.
