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.
Sensor - Power Viewer
Selects the R&S NRP-Z power sensor for indication.
In remote control, the sensors are set up using the SENSe commands. The remote mea-
surement is triggered by the READ query which also provides the measurement results.
The sensor is selected by suffix 1, 2, 3 or 4 in key word SENSe or READ of the command
header.
Suffix 1 denotes the sensor connected to SENSOR, suffix 2 the one at the first USB
interface, and suffix 3 and 4 are assigned to the sensors at the following USB interfaces.
The suffix is identical to the index which is assigned automatically to each sensor upon
connection.
Note: The software version of the connected power sensor can be retrieved by means
of the remote control command :SENS:POW:TYPE?.
Use the "Setup >" chapter 5.2.3.6, "NRP-Z Info/Update", on page 115 dialog to update
the sensor software.
SCPI command:
SENSe<ch>[:POWer]:STATus[:DEVice] on page 492
Type - Power Sensors
Indicates the type and the serial number of the connected R&S NRP-Z power sensor.
The sensor type is automatically detected.
SCPI command:
SENSe<ch>[:POWer]:TYPE on page 492

State - Power Sensors
Activates/deactivates level measurement by the power sensor.
The local state is set with the INIT command. Switching the local state off enhances the
measurement performance.
