Alpha mode is used when naming files before saving to memory or an external USB
device. Shift the Alpha Numeric keys to alpha characters and back to numeric by
pushing

.

is lit when Alpha mode is selected. Each key push changes the
character at the entry point to the next in the three or four available from that key. For
example: the first push of the TUV key in Alpha mode inserts a T . The entry changes
to U at the second push and V at the third. To repeat a character, TT , for example,
push

to move the entry point and then the TUV key a second time.
Direct/Indirect Mode
Changes to 6100B settings will usually be made one at a time. Sometimes it is necessary
to make a number of changes all at once. Consider a three phase system where all three
voltage phases are set to 120 V. To change each phase voltage individually in sequence
would cause the three phase system to become unbalanced. This may be detrimental.
In Direct Mode,

is lit and all changes are applied immediately. The opposite of
Direct Mode is Deferred Mode. In Deferred Mode

is not lit. Data field changes are
not applied immediately. In changed fields the background is orange rather than yellow to
show what the output will be after changes are applied. The changes can be applied in
one of two ways:
1.
If the output is already On, push

.
2. Push softkey Apply All (this is only visible when the Output Menu has focus).
Changes are applied virtually simultaneously when

or

is pushed. There is a small
delay of a few milliseconds while the changes are applied.
To undo deferred actions without applying them, select the
Undo all softkey (when
Output Menu has focus). Pushing

without applying the changes as described above
will also undo deferred actions.
Using an External Keyboard and Mouse
Note
Keyboard/mouse plugged into the PS2 ports on the front panel must be in
place before the 6100B is powered up. This restriction does not apply to the
USB ports.
In most menu and entry pop-up screens the mouse can be used to point and click on a
data field to give it focus. Some mouse operations are not available in some rarely used
screens, the calibration/adjustment pop-up screen, for example.
An external keyboard can replicate most of the actions available from the 6100B front
panel. Numeric Alpha characters 0-9; a-z; A-Z and the characters “ . ”, “ / ”, “ _ ” and “ - ” are
entered as if they came from a 6100B key. All other external keyboard text characters and
punctuation are ignored.
External keyboard
Tab , Enter , Esc , Backspace and cursor keys work as they do from
the 6100B front panel.
The external keyboard space key can be used to check and uncheck selection boxes when
they have focus.
Some Function keys are assigned to perform operations.
F1 to F8 act as softkeys one to
eight (counting from the left). F9 acts as

to shift focus around the three Menu panes
clockwise.
