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 4-2:
a) Connect the R&S NRP‑ZK6 cable to the power sensor.
See "To connect a cable to the host interface of the power sensor"
on page 13
b) Connect the power sensors to the R&S NRP‑Z5 sensor hub. You can con-
nect up to four sensors.
c) Connect the R&S NRP‑Z5 to the computer.
d) Connect the power sensors to the signal source.
e) Connect the delivered external power supply unit to the R&S NRP‑Z5 and
to an AC supply connector.
f) Connect the trigger input of the R&S NRP‑Z5 with a BNC cable to the trig-
ger source (optional).
g) Connect the trigger output of the R&S NRP‑Z5 with a BNC cable to the
trigger device (optional).
2. On the computer, start a software application to view the measurement
results.
See Chapter 6, "Operating Concepts", on page 31.
4.6.2 Base Unit
As a controlling host, you can use an R&S NRX or R&S NRP2 base unit. You can
also operate the power sensor using other supported Rohde & Schwarz instru-
ments with a sensor connector. For details, see also the user manual of the
instrument.
► Establish the connection with the base unit using:
● Host interface
