General Information

What’s In This Manual

This manual applies to both the Agilent 6050A and Agilent 6051A Electronic Load mainframes. The two mainframes are functionally identical, but the Agilent 6051A is a half-rack width unit, with only two slots for load modules. Most of the information given in this manual applies to both mainframes. Where differences occur, information specific just to the Agilent 6051A is given in parentheses following information that applies only to the Agilent 6050A, for example: ... a total of 1800

(600) watts...

This chapter contains specifications that apply to the Agilent 6050A and Agilent 6051A Electronic Load mainframes, as well as information concerning options and safety requirements. The remaining chapters in this manual contain instructions for installing, operating, programming, and calibrating the Electronic Load as follows

Chapter 2 "Operation Overview":

describes all of the Electronic Load’s functions and briefly describes how they can be

 

 

controlled locally at the front panel and/or remotely via a GPIB controller.

Chapter 3

"Installation":

provides instructions for installing load modules in the mainframe, controller and

 

 

application connections, and turn-on checkout procedures.

Chapter 4

"Local Operation":

describes in detail how to operate the Electronic Load at the front panel.

Chapter 5

"Remote Operation":

provides an introduction to remote programming.

Chapter 6

"Calibration":

contains calibration procedures for the Electronic Load and gives sample calibration

 

 

programs. Yearly calibration intervals are recommended.

Specifications and other information pertinent to a specific load module are given in the module-specific pages provided with each load module.
