Configured Devices
Table with all power meters in use with their properties.
Except for the auto-detected Known Devices, to appear in the table of "Configured
Devices" a power sensor/meter must have been configured manually using Add
Device. The properties of manually configured power meters (Add Device) can be
changed in the table cells.
The "Sensor Id" column is used for power meters that can control several power sen-
sors, such as the R&S NRP2. By selecting the suitable "Sensor Id", you can address
the related power sensor.
The R&S NRP2, for example, has four power sensor connectors, Sensor A to Sen-
sor D. By selecting "A", "B", "C", or "D" you can address the power sensor that is
attached to this connector.
Use the
icon beneath the "Sensor Id" cell to take control over another power sensor
attached to the same power meter.
The following symbols (grayed out for used devices) indicate the status of the respec-
tive device:
●
– The device is online (connected, switched on, ready to be used).
●
– There is a problem with the device.
This state can be caused by different problems:
– General communication error
In this case, check whether the device is properly connected to the configured
interface.
– Self test error
In this case enable error logging for external devices (see "Log Errors"
on page 817), and search the Error Log Tab for self test error codes of the
device.
●
– The device driver does not match exactly the device type. Probably the device
cannot be controlled properly. Measurements results are questionable.
Remote command:

Scan Instruments
Performs an autodetection of "Known Devices" on the supported interfaces.
Note: Unintentional switchover to remote control
When using the NI-VISA library, ensure that the network analyzer itself is not listed as
a network device in the Measurement & Automation Explorer. Otherwise, "Scan Instru-
ments" initiates an identification query (*IDN?), causing the analyzer to close the
"External Power Meters" dialog (without executing "Scan Instruments") and to activate
the remote screen.
