INVALID CHAN
— This message indicates that the channel is not a valid measurement
channel. The following actions will cause this error:
•
Trying to close a non-measurement channel, such as a backplane isolation channel,
a channel that sets the pole mode, or a channel that cannot be internally connected
to the DMM.
•
Trying to close an amps channel while on a non-amps function. The DCI or ACI
function must be selected in order to close an amps channel.
•
Trying to close a paired-channel while on a 4-wire function. For the Model 7700,
channels 1 through 10 are paired to channels 11 through 20 for a 4-wire function.
If, for example, you try to close channel 12 while on the
Ω
4 function, the INVALID
CHAN error will occur.
•
Trying to close a switching module channel that does not exist.
