How to Use the Manuals 1-3.
The following paragraphs describe how each manual addresses the 5725A.
5725A Instruction Manual 1-4.
Use the 5725A Instruction Manual for installing the 5725A, learning about its front and
rear panel features, and for all service-related topics such as maintenance,
troubleshooting, parts lists, and schematics. (The 5725A Instruction Manual is the
service and operator manual for the 5725A.)
Although the instruction manual also contains a section devoted to 5725A operating
notes, once the 5725A is up and running you will find that the 5700A Operator Manual
contains most of the information you need to operate the 5725A.
5700A Operator Manual 1-5.
The 5700A Operator Manual contains the following information pertaining to the
5725A:
•
Specifications for both the 5700A and 5725A (these same specifications are in this
Instruction Manual)
•
Cable connections to a UUT for amplified voltage and current
•
Front panel (local) operation
•

The 5700A Operator Manual comes with two pocket-sized booklets: one for front panel
operation and one for remote programming.
5700A Operator Reference Guide 1-6.
The 5700A Operator Reference Guide contains a summary of operating instructions
from the Operator Manual. This booklet contains information needed to start up and
operate the 5700A, but since the 5700A controls the 5725A, much of this information
applies to the 5725A. The booklet is included in the binder with the 5700A Operator
Manual.
5700A Remote Programming Reference Guide 1-7.
The 5700A Remote Programming Reference Guide contains a summary of remote
commands for the 5700A. It also contains information needed to determine system status
using the status byte and registers. Remote commands and system status apply to a
5725A under control of the 5700A. This booklet is also included in the binder with
5700A Operator Manual.
