Agilent 6060B Data Sheet

The 6060B and 6063B each provides
one load input. This is more conve­nient for single input applications
than a mainframe product.

These electronic loads are particu­larly suited for the lab bench.
Entering commands manually using
the front panel keypad is simpler
because the channel does not need
to be specified, as in a mainframe
configuration. The keypad entry is
further simplified because these
products do not have the download­able LIST feature of the N3300A
Series, which helps to maximize
production throughput. Extensive
protection is included to help
protect your valuable prototypes
under test. This includes overvolt­age, overcurrent, overtemperature,
overpower, and reverse polarity.

These loads are suitable for
manufacturing test systems where
maximizing speed is not critical.
They use industry standard
SCPI instructions, and also have
VXIPlug&Play drivers to simplify
system design. For the greatest
speed and accuracy in programming
and measurement, see the N3300A
Series of DC electronic loads.

Your Requested Excerpt from the
Agilent System and Bench Instruments Catalog 2006

The preceding page(s) are an excerpt from the 2006 System
and Bench Instruments Catalog. We hope that these pages supply
the information that you currently need. If you would like to
have further information about the extensive selection of Agilent
DC power supplies, please visit

www.agilent.com/find/power to print

a copy of the complete catalog, or to request that a copy be sent
to you. You will also find a lot of other useful information on
this Web site.

In the full System and Bench Instruments Catalog, you will
find that Agilent offers much more than DC power supplies. This
catalog contains detailed technical and application information
on digital multimeters, DC power supplies, arbitrary waveform
generators, and many more instruments. If you need basic, clean,
power for your lab bench, it’s there. In each power product
category we have also integrated the capabilities you need for
a complete power solution, including extensive measurement
and analysis capabilities.

Please give us a call at your local Agilent Technologies sales
office, or call a regional office listed, for assistance in choosing
or using Agilent power products.
