The Current Channel Is Enabled But Not Operating; Set Up The L1 Current Channel - Fluke 6100B User Manual

Push the Enable/Disable softkey and the L1 current row in the Output Menu shows as
"Enabled". See Figure 3-6.

3-11. The Current Channel is Enabled but Not Operating

There is not yet output at the Instrument 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.

3-12. 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 shifts to the Waveform menu. See Figure 3-7.
2. The Range control has focus (blue background).
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.
