5.5 R&S NRX
In a measurement, the R&S NRX uses all power sensor-dependent measurement
functions and displays the results. Thus, you can configure both the measurement and
the power sensor.
Required equipment
●
R&S NRPxxP power sensor
●
R&S NRP‑ZK8 cable to connect the power sensor to the R&S NRX

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.
2. Connect the cables as shown in Figure 5-3.
Starting a measurement
For a detailed description of how to measure in this setup, refer to the user manual of
the R&S NRX.
1. Preset the R&S NRX and the connected R&S power sensors.
a) Press the [Preset] key.
b) Tap "Preset".
All parameters are set to their defaults.
2. Note: Turn off all measurement signals before zeroing. An active measurement
signal during zeroing causes an error.
