Over Compliance Warning Message
If the current channel output is turned on while the current terminals are open circuit, the
over compliance voltage trips will be activated. The output will turn off and an orange
background warning will be displayed. The reason for this is that without a load the
current cannot be established because the voltage compliance limit will be exceeded.
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.
Turn the output On by pushing
. Almost immediately the trips operate and an orange
background warning message appears. See Figure 9.
