6.1 General Operation
This section describes the procedures for operating the CPC6050 from the front panel. Instructions for
operating the device remotely from an external computer are covered in Section 7, Remote Operation. By
following the procedures provided in these two sections and Section 10, Calibration, you can expect your
CPC6050 to deliver maximum accuracy and dependability for many years of useful service.
6.1.1 Setup Applications
Configuration of the CPC6050 is achieved by changing settings accessed through the Application (“App”)
buttons. Local operation is accomplished by observing the data presented in the display. The appearance
and functionality of the display can be changed by pressing the App button for the related function. After
an app has been chosen, a set of related parameters will appear on the left. After choosing one of these
parameters, a set of selections related to that parameter will appear on the right or a data entry keypad.
The desired selection or data can be entered here.

ization. The left three fourth of the display contains the area where information is displayed (in this case
