The Agilent N6700 MPS is programmatically compatible with the
Agilent 6621A − 6629A DC power supplies. This means that you can
program the power system using the same commands that are used
to program the Agilent 662xA power supplies. The following table
describes the model mapping.
In addition to the pre-configured models shown below, Agilent 662xA
commands will also work in mainframes that contain any
combination of Agilent N675xA or N676xA power modules.
NOTE
Agilent 662xA commands will NOT work in mainframes that contain any Agilent
of N673xA/B or N674xA/B power modules. This is true even if the mainframes
also contain Agilent N675xA or N676xA power modules.

These Agilent MPS models are no longer orderable.
This appendix also contains a section describing how the earlier
Agilent N6700A mainframes are different from the Agilent N6700B
mainframes, which are the primary focus of this manual.
