Manual

Agilent Technologies instruments are identified by a two-part, ten-character serial number, such as 3246A-00517. The first five characters (e.g. 3246A) are the serial prefix, which is the same for all identically made instruments. The last five digits (e.g. 00517) are a unique serial number assigned to each instrument. If a significant design change is made, the prefix changes but the last five numbers continue in sequence.

This manual applies to Agilent 6610xA Power Modules with the same serial prefixes and serial numbers equal to or higher than the ones shown on the title page. If the prefix number on your power module is higher than the one on the title page, then the module was made after publication of the manual and may have hardware and/or firmware differences not covered in the manual. If there are such differences, they are documented in one or more "Manual Changes" sheets sent with the manual.

If the prefix number on your power module is lower than the one on the title page, then the module was made before the publication of the manual and may have differences not covered in the manual. These differences are documented in appendix A.

Firmware

This manual applies to power modules that run on software revision A.00.01 through A.00.04. Firmware revision A.00.04 is backward compatible with all previous revisions. The ROM chip (U2) has a label that specifies the firmware revision.
