The instrument automatically detects a connected R&S NRP-Z power sensor and indi-
cates it in the "NRP-Z Power Viewer" dialog. In addition, you find device specific infor-
mation on the connected sensor in the chapter 5.2.3.6, "NRP-Z Info/Update",
on page 87. For information on the scope of your power sensor refer to the manual of
your R&S NRP-Zxx power sensor.
A sensor continuously measures the average signal power of the selected source. The
signal generator shows the result in either the "NRP-Z Power Viewer" dialog, or directly
in the block diagram. You can activate the permanent display in the block diagram in the
"NRP-Z Power Viewer" dialog. This dialog provides access to all parameters concerning
sensor settings, like average or peak display, reference source, filter and level offset, see
NRP-Z Power Viewer Settings.
The signal generator also supports the use of R&S NRP-Z power sensors for the acqui-
sition of level correction data. The acquired level correction data is used to create and
activate lists in which level correction values predefined by the user are freely assigned
to RF frequencies. Correction is performed by the user-defined table values being added
to the output level for the respective RF frequency (see chapter 5.3.5.6, "User Correc-
tion", on page 134).
"NRP-Z Power Viewer" automatically disables NRP-Z Level Control, and vice versa.
NRP-Z Power Viewer Settings
To open the "NRP-Z Power Viewer" menu, select "RF" > "Configure" > "NRP-Z Power
Viewer" or use the MENU key under "RF".
The dialog shows the settings and measurement values of the sensor selected in the field
next to the connector symbol. For indicating the parameters of another sensor, switch to
the respective sensor in the selection list.
When you connect your power sensor(s) via the R&S NRP-Z5 USB sensor hub, each
channel of the hub is firmly assigned to the associated sensor channel in the generator.
