In the "Add External Power Meter" dialog, you can specify the instrument and connec-
tion properties:
●
"Interface" selects an interface/protocol type for the connection. In addition to the
GPIB, VXI-11 and SOCKET interface types, the analyzer accepts any "Other" inter-
face supported by the installed VISA library. The former is applicable for devices
connected to the GPIB Bus or LAN connectors on the rear panel of the analyzer,
respectively. "Other" is used in particular for USB connections, e.g. for auto-detec-
ted R&S NRP-Zxx sensors.
●
"Address" contains the address for the current interface type. GPIB addresses
must be unique for all devices connected to the GPIB bus (range: 0 to 30), GPIB
and IP addresses must agree with the entries in the VISA library. The remaining
interface types require composite address formats; see Table 6-6.
If an instrument is connected to the R&S ZNB/ZNBT, the entries in the [Driver for
New Instrument] panel can be auto-detected for the specified interface type and
address.
●
"Identify" sends an identification query ("IDN?") to the specified device address to
identify the type and serial number of the connected power meter and select an
appropriate driver file. Power meter driver files (*.pwm) are stored in the
Resources\ExtDev subdirectory of the analyzer's program directory.

Use complete VISA resource string.
Remote command:

Auto Config
Causes the analyzer to clear the lists of "Known Devices" and "Configured Devices"
and to configure all R&S NRPxxS/SN power sensors, detected at any of the USB
ports, automatically. No manual configuration is required.

SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:PMETer:CONFigure:AUTO[:STATe]
6.17.4.3 External Power Meter Config Dialog
Allows to modify configuration of certain external power meters, i.e. settings that are
persistently stored on the power meter (and NOT on the R&S ZNB/ZNBT). This
