Energy
The Energy analysis provides several energy consumption measurements , and it always uses
fixed ranging for both voltage and current.
For optimal results, press [1] or [2] (or [3] or [4] on the PA2203A), and then press
Ranging>RangingMode>Fixed and select the smallest appropriate fixed voltage and current
measurements ranges for your signal. If either fixed measurement range is too small, you will see
an error message saying, "Energy data questionable due to high signal(s) during test."
To configure and run the analysis:
1. Press [Analyze] > Analysis > Energy.
2. Press the Source softkey and select the source channel to analyze.
3. Press the Duration softkey and specify the length of time to make the measurements.
4. Press the Strip Chart softkey and configure the three strip chart parameters:
a. Press the Strip Chart Type softkey and choose the units for your results.
You can always change the units during or after the analysis, so this is actually an
optional step.
b. Use the X1 and X2 softkeys to specify the horizontal positions of the measurement
markers (in seconds). Again, you can change these values when the analysis is complete,
so this is also optional.
5. Press the CWA Setup softkey and configure CWA as usual.
6. Press the Start Meas softkey to start measuring the Energy analysis parameters.
While the analysis is running, the measurements in the sidebar update. You can press the Reset
Meas softkey to stop the analysis without clearing the measurements.
