Risk of instrument damage
USB devices with external power supply must never feed back current into the 5 V power
supply of the USB interface. Before using a device with external power supply, verify that
there is no connection between the positive pole of the power supply and the +5 V power
pin of the USB interface (VBUS).
The length of passive connecting USB cables should not exceed 1 m. The maximum
current per USB port is 500 mA.
LAN Connector
8-pin connector RJ-45 used to connect the R&S CMW500 to a Local Area Network (LAN).
It supports up to 100 Mbit/s. A second LAN connector labeled LAN REMOTE is available
on the rear panel of the instrument.
See also chapter 2.5.3, "Remote Operation in a LAN", on page 45.
SENSOR Connector
Lemosa 6-pin socket for NRP-Z27/-Z28 power sensors. An external power sensor can
be used to monitor the power of an external signal or calibrate an RF source.
The SENSOR connector controls the power sensor but also provides the power supply
and trigger signals.
