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.
1. Connect the cables as shown in Figure 4-1 :
a) Connect the R&S NRP‑ZKU cable to the power sensor.
See "To connect a cable to the host interface of the power sensor"
on page 13.
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 6, "Operating Concepts", on page 31.
4.6.1.2 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
NRP power sensors and provides simultaneous external triggering to all connec-
ted sensors.
