6.8 R&S NRP2
With the R&S NRP power sensors and an R&S NRP2, you can measure power
with up to four power sensors simultaneously. All sensor-dependent measure-
ment functions can be used and the results can be displayed in parallel.
Required equipment
●
R&S NRP power sensor
●
R&S NRP‑ZK6 cable to connect the sensor to the R&S NRP2
●
R&S NRP2 base unit with FW version 7.11 or higher

Incorrectly connecting/disconnecting the R&S NRP power sensors can
damage the power sensors or lead to erroneous results.
Ensure that you connect/disconnect your power sensor as described in
Chapter 4, "Preparing for Use", on page 10.
Starting a measurement
1. Connect the cables as shown in Figure 6-5:
