Starting a measurement
For a detailed description of how to measure in this setup, refer to the operating man-
ual of the R&S NRPV.
1. Start the R&S NRPV.
2. Execute zeroing.
Note: Turn off all measurement signals before zeroing. An active measurement
signal during zeroing causes an error.
3. Switch on the test signal of the signal source.
4. Start a measurement.
