4-59. Copy and Paste
Each of the Waveform Menus has Copy and Paste softkeys at the top level.
4-60. Copy
Pushing Copy puts a copy of the currently active Waveform Menu into the clipboard.
The clipboard is overwritten each time Copy is pushed. The contents of the clipboard are
lost when line power is turned off.
4-61. Paste
Paste allows setups to be copied from the clipboard onto another channel as long as the
active Waveform Menu is of the same type. You cannot copy from a Current channel to a
Voltage channel.
Pasting erases any existing data in the active Waveform Menu.
The harmonics and fluctuation Waveform Menus share harmonic data, so pasting
harmonic data will refresh the data used in the other, i.e., pasting Harmonic data into
another channel will also paste the modulation settings.
4-62. The Energy Option
This section describes the 6100B Power Standard Energy Option.
4-63. Overview of Functionality
Meters supply a stream of pulses of a frequency proportional to the power being applied
to their voltage and current input terminals. The total pulses represent the total energy
delivered. The 6100B has six pulse inputs that can be configured for combinations of
Meters Under Test (MUT) and reference meters. The Instrument also provides an output
stream of pulses, representing the calculated theoretical output power of the system, to
provide an 'ideal' pulse stream reference. A gate signal is available to switch external
equipment during a test, or for the user to electronically control the duration of the test.
The Energy Pulse Output and Energy Gate In/Out BNC connectors are mounted on the
Instrument's rear panel.
4-64. Principle of Operation
One or more MUT are connected to the 6100B voltage and current terminals. A test is
conducted which involves counting the number of pulses received within a specified
period. The result is compared with the theoretical amount of energy delivered, or against
a reference source that was connected in parallel to the MUT. The duration of the test is
set by specifying a limit condition, which can be an absolute time, an amount of energy
delivered, or as an accumulated energy from any MUT or reference meter channel
(expressed as energy or pulse count). Input channels can be combined to allow up to three
reference meters to be averaged or summed.
