7.5 How to Calibrate the Power Level with an R&S NRP
Power Sensor
Using a R&S NRP power sensor and the user correction function of the instrument,
you can compensate external frequency responses. The R&S SMA100B utilizes the
readings of the power sensor and creates a correction value table for controlling the
output level during operation.
To connect the R&S NRP to the R&S SMA100B
1. Connect the power sensor.
See Chapter 7.4.1, "Connecting R&S NRP Power Sensors to the R&S SMA100B",
on page 211.
2. Select "Clk Syn/Power Sens" > "NRP Sensor Mapping".
3. If the sensor is not detected automatically, select "Scan > Start".
The instrument scans the network and the USB connections for connected sensors
and lists all detected R&S NRP sensors in the mapping table.
4. In the "Mapping" column, assign the sensor to a sensor channel (see Chap-
ter 7.4.2, "NRP Sensor Mapping", on page 212
5. Close the dialog.
