Each log file contains the measured value (2 readings when you work with peak sen-
sors), the sensor type, and the measurement time (timestamp). Logged data is not
overwritten. When a new measurement is started, the collected logging data is appen-
ded in the log file.
Check the used disc space regularly and remove log files to maintain storage capacity.
Note: The logging function is intended for measurements with long time intervals. It is
suitable source for data reconstructions if the connection to the sensor was interrupted.

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 SMB100B 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 SMB100B
1. Connect the power sensor.
See Chapter 7.4.1, "Connecting R&S NRP power sensors to the R&S SMB100B",
on page 168.
2. Select "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 169.
5. Close the dialog.
To configure and calibrate the R&S NRP in the R&S SMB100B
Provided the power sensor is connected to the R&S SMB100B and is assigned to a
sensor channel, we recommend that you calibrate and configure the power sensor in
the "NRP Power Viewer" dialog.
1. Select "Level" > "RF ON > Off"
2. Select "Power Sens" > "NRP Power Viewer".
