CR mode
To go into CR mode, the R&S NGL200 must operates in sink more where current flows
into the instrument and the "Constant Resistance" is enabled.
With "Constant Resistance" enable and configured, the R&S NGL200 can vary the
resistance in sink mode, this allows the R&S NGL200 to behave like an electronic load
which is useful in battery test application.
In CR mode, the font text in the channel display area changes to cyan. See
