Frequency

Set the required output frequency. An attempt to set frequency outside the active band
when any output is ON will cause an error message to be displayed.
4-7.

Line locking

It is essential for correct operation of 6100A that line locking is not selected unless the
selected frequency is the same as the nominal input line frequency. Select line locking by
checking the line lock box. The Lock indication shows green when the system is locked
to line frequency. Red indicates that the 6100A has not locked to line frequency.

Harmonic edit mode

If necessary navigate to the Global Settings Menu using the SELECT MENU key. Press
the V, I and Power Modes soft key to access the Harmonic mode softkeys. Return to the
top level softkeys by pressing escape. Select the way voltage and current harmonics are
entered. The available modes are as follows.
Harmonics entered as % of RMS value. Here the RMS value is maintained constant by
reducing the level of the fundamental frequency component as harmonics are added.
Changing the RMS value alters each harmonic accordingly.
Harmonics entered as % of the fundamental (first harmonic) value. Here the fundamental
value is constant and the RMS value changes as harmonics are added. Note that an error
message will be generated if the peak value of the waveform exceeds the range maximum.
Changing the fundamental value alters all harmonics accordingly.
Harmonics entered as dB down value from the fundamental value. This mode acts in the
same way as % of fundamental. Note that 0dB is an invalid entry as it exceeds the 30%
limit for harmonics. The maximum value for a harmonic is –10.5dB
