Connecting Auxiliary Units 

The 6100B and 6105A instruments are Masters capable of controlling any combination of 

up to three Auxiliary units. The 6100B and 6105A Master units can be configured as 

Master or Auxiliary but the 6101B or 6106A can only operate as Auxiliary units. 
Each Auxiliary unit provides an additional phase of voltage and current. Control 

connections are made by interconnection cable part number 2002080 supplied with each 

instrument. 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 

of 6105A, 6106A, 6100B, and 6101B as Auxiliary units.
