Incorrectly connecting/disconnecting the R&S NRPxxA(N) power sensors can damage
the power sensors or lead to erroneous results.
Ensure that you connect/disconnect your power sensor as described in Chapter 3,
"Preparing for Use", on page 13.
1. Connect the cables as shown in Figure 3-1 :
a) Connect the R&S NRP‑ZKU cable to the power sensor.
b) Connect the R&S NRP‑ZKU cable to the computer.
c) Connect the power sensor to the signal source.
2. On the computer, start a software application to view the measurement results.
See Chapter 5, "Operating Concepts", on page 29.
3.5.1.2 R&S NRP‑Z5 Sensor Hub Setup
The R&S NRP‑Z5 sensor hub (high-speed USB 2.0) can host up to four R&S
NRPxxA(N) power sensors and provides simultaneous external triggering to all con-
nected sensors.
