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.
If the power sensor is a R&S NRP LAN power sensor, you can setup a LAN con-
nection instead of using the sensor input connector of the R&S NRX. See Chap-
ter 4.6.3, "Using a LAN Connection", on page 18.
Starting a measurement
1. Preset the R&S NRX and the connected R&S power sensors.
a) Press the [Preset] key.
b) Tap "Preset".
All parameters are set to their defaults.
2. If measuring in zero-IF mode (RBW > 40 MHz), consider to zero the power
sensor:
Note: Turn off all measurement signals before zeroing. An active measure-
ment signal during zeroing causes an error.
a) Switch off the power of the signal source.
b) Press the [Zero] key of the R&S NRX.
c) Tap "Zero All Sensors".
3. Configure the measurement.
a) In the "Measurement Settings" dialog, select the "Measurement Type", for
example "Continuous Average".
b) Tap "Quick Setup" > "Auto Set".
4. Switch on the signal source.
The measurement starts, and the result is displayed in dBm.
5. If necessary, perform further settings.
For a detailed description of how to measure in this setup, refer to the user man-
ual of the R&S NRX.
