Agilent 6060B and 6063B Single-Input
250 to 300 W Electronic Loads, GPIB
Data Sheet
Maximize throughput with real-life loading conditions
• Cost-effective for single input applications
• Convenient optional front panel input connection
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.
