The Agilent/Keysight 6050A is a modular DC electronic load mainframe that provides a configurable foundation for power source testing. It accepts up to six 60501B/60502B/60503B modules or three 60504B/60507B modules, delivering a maximum total power of 1,800 W. A single GPIB address enables complete control and readback of all installed load modules through one interface.
