7.5.8.1 Connecting R&S NRP Power Sensors to the R&S SGS
R&S NRP sensors are connected to the R&S SGS in the following ways:
●
Connection to the USB connector
Requires a USB Adapter Micro-A to A and the following cables, depending on the
used sensor type:
– R&S NRP-ZK6 and an R&S NRP-Z3 with external power supply for R&S
NRPxx power sensors
– R&S NRP-Z3 with external power supply for sensors of the R&S NRP-Zxx fam-
ily
●
Connection via R&S NRP-Z5 sensor hub, see Using the R&S NRP-Z5 sensor hub.
●
Connection via USB hub with external power supply unit, see Using USB hub.
●
Connection via LAN for R&S NRPxxxSN power sensors
Using the Ethernet interface requires PoE (Power over Ethernet) to provide the
electrical power.
To establish the connection, you can use:
– A PoE Ethernet switch, e.g. R&S NRP-ZAP1 and an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
– A PoE injector and an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
Using the R&S NRP-Z5 sensor hub
The R&S NRP-Z5 USB sensor hub (high-speed USB 2.0) can host up to 4 R&S NRP
sensors. It provides simultaneous internal and external triggering of all connected sen-
sors.
Figure 7-1 illustrates the connection as principle. For details, see the description
