In addition to the "Cont Av" mode (continuous average-power measurements) available
for all sensors, further measurement modes can be used for most of the sensor types.

Tabs for selecting the sensor.
Note: In remote-control commands, select the sensor with the suffix in command
SENSe<[1]..4>:..., i.e. choose suffix 1 for channel A, channel 2 for B, and so on.
ContAv, Trace & …
Measurement modes:
"Cont Av"
In the Continuous Average mode, the average signal power is contin-
uously measured without the acquisition interval and signal being in
sync. (see chapter 4.2.1.2, "Continuous average-power measure-
ments", on page 66).
"Trace&Statis-
tics"
In the Trace & Statistics mode, the R&S NRP2 analyzes the power
envelope of the test signal and displays the power envelope either as
a function of time or in its probability distribution and probability density
distribution function (see chapter 4.2.1.6, "Trace & statistics measure-
ments", on page 72).
"T'slot Av"
In the Timeslot Average mode, the average power can be measured
over defined time intervals of a signal with periodic envelope.
The timeslot mode should be used preferably for signals with an equally
spaced timeslot structure (see chapter 4.2.1.4, "Measuring the average
power of TDMA signals", on page 69).
"T 'gate Av"
In the Timegate Average mode, the average power can be measured
over defined time intervals of a signal with periodic envelope.
The timegate mode provides four user-configurable gates for the mea-
surement (see chapter 4.2.1.5, "Measuring the average power in
gates", on page 71 ).
