To configure and calibrate the R&S NRP in the R&S SMA100B
Provided the power sensor is connected to the R&S SMA100B 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 "Clk Syn/Power Sens" > "NRP Power Viewer".
3. If the R&S SMA100B has detected several connected power sensors, select the
tab of the sensor you want to use.
4. Select "Zero" to start zeroing of the sensor.
Note: Always turn the RF power off or disconnect the sensor from RF before zero-
ing, since the function calibrates the power sensor at zero signal power.
The zeroing process takes a few seconds, depending on the power sensor type.
5. Configure additional parameters for the selected sensor as required.
6. Select "State > On".
7. Close the dialog.
To create user correction data with an R&S NRP and the R&S SMA100B
We assume, that the power sensor is connected, assigned and ready for operation.
1. Select "Level" > "User Correction".
2. Select "UCOR Data > UCOR Data...".
3. Create a file: "New > Filename" and confirm with "OK".
4. Select the new file with "Select".
5. Select "Edit UCOR Data...".
