Set up as shown in Figure 3-1.
1. Connect the R&S NRP‑ZKU cable to the power sensor. See "To connect a cable to
the host interface of the power sensor" on page 13.
2. Connect the R&S NRP‑ZKU cable to the computer.

NOTICE! Incorrectly connecting or disconnecting the power sensor can damage
the power sensor or lead to erroneous results. Ensure that you connect or discon-
nect the power sensor as described in Chapter 3.4, "Connecting to a DUT",
on page 12.
Connect the power sensor to the signal source.
4. On the computer, start a software application to view the measurement results.
See Chapter 5, "Operating concepts", on page 20.
3.7.1.2 R&S NRP‑Z5 sensor hub setup
The R&S NRP‑Z5 sensor hub (high-speed USB 2.0) can host up to four R&S NRPxxP
power sensors and provides simultaneous external triggering to all connected power
sensors.

●
1 to 4 R&S NRPxxP power sensors
●
1 R&S NRP‑ZK6 cable per power sensor
●
R&S NRP‑Z5 sensor hub with external power supply unit and USB cable
●
BNC cables to connect the trigger input and trigger output signals (optional)
