is used as an output for trigger signals if the sensor is operated in the trigger master
mode.

4.3 Host Interface
The host interface connector is used for establishing a connection between the power
sensors and a USB host or a supported Rohde & Schwarz instrument. For this pur-
pose, an external cable is needed. Two types of cables are available:
●
R&S NRP‑ZKU cable with a USB connector, for connecting the power sensor to a
USB host device (R&S order number 1419.0658.xx).
●
R&S NRP‑ZK6 cable with a push-pull type connector, for connecting the power
sensor to a base unit, R&S NRX or R&S NRP2, or other Rohde & Schwarz prod-
ucts with the round connector (R&S order number 1419.0664.xx).
These cables can be obtained in different lengths up to 5 meters.
