Icons in the power meter tables
The following icons describe the status of a power meter:
The power meter is on-line (connected, switched on, ready to be used).
The power meter was detected (upper table) or configured (lower table) but is not on-line (VISA
communication error). Other possible reason: a user-defined power meter configuration file is inconsistent;
see General Rules for Configuration Files.
The power meter list could not be refreshed, no communication with the power meter is possible.
R&S NRPxxS/SN Power Sensors
All R&S NRPxxS/SN power sensors offer USB capability. In addition, the R&S NRPxxSN sensors can be
controlled via LAN.
 For stable USB connectivity we recommend using an USB interface cable with a maximum length
of 0.75 m (e.g. R&S NRP-ZKU, order no. 1419.0658.02)
 After the physical USB connection is established it may take up to half a minute until a power
sensor of the R&S NRPxxS/SN family can be operated.
 LAN operation of an R&S NRPxxSN power sensor requires Power over Ethernet (PoE), i.e. the
power sensor has to be connected to a PoE Ethernet switch (e.g. R&S NRP-ZAP1)
It is not possible to have LAN connectivity and USB power supply at the same time. Please
disconnect the power meter's USB port before connecting it to the LAN!
 At the analyzer, the LAN connection to an R&S NRPxxSN has to be configured manually, using
the following settings:
1. Disable Auto Config R&S NRP Power Sensors and use the Add Other button to open the
Add External Power Meter dialog
2. Select the VXI-11 interface and specify the sensor's IP address or hostname (default:
<sensor name>-<serial number>, e.g. nrp33sn-100811)
3. Select NRPSN as driver
