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.
