8 Replacing an R&S NRP-Zxx with an R&S
NRPxxS(N)
The new R&S NRPxxS(N) sensors are compatible with the R&S NRP-Zxx series of
power sensors.
New power sensor Replaces this sensor
R&S NRP8S/R&S NRP8SN - USB connected R&S NRP-Z11
R&S NRP18S/R&S NRP18SN - USB connected R&S NRP-Z21
R&S NRP33S/R&S NRP33SN - USB connected R&S NRP-Z31
R&S NRP40S/R&S NRP40SN - USB connected R&S NRP-Z41
R&S NRP50S/R&S NRP50SN - USB connected R&S NRP-Z61
To use the new power sensors, it can be required to update the drivers. For computer-
based software applications (R&S NRPV and R&S Power Viewer), install latest R&S
NRP Toolkit (V 4.17 or higher).
For using the sensors with R&S NRP2, signal generators, spectrum analyzers or other
Rohde & Schwarz instruments, install the latest firmware version.
8.1 Most Important Differences
The new and the old sensors are compatible as far as possible. However, there are
some differences:
●
The state of the sensors is indicated by an LED, see Chapter 4.4, "Status LED",
on page 25.
●
After connecting the R&S NRPxxS(N) sensors, the first measurement can be avail-
able after 7 seconds (R&S NRP-Zxx: 4 seconds).
8.2 Prerequisites
R&S NRP Toolkit
Install the R&S NRP Toolkit V 4.17 or higher, see Chapter 5.1, "R&S NRP Toolkit",
on page 27.
The new version of the R&S NRP Toolkit is compatible with both the R&S NRP-Zxx
and the R&S NRPxxS(N) so that its installation does not affect the usage of the
R&S NRP‑Z power sensors.
