6.12.4.1 Connecting R&S NRP Power Sensors to the R&S SMBV100B
R&S NRP sensors are connected to the R&S SMBV100B in the following ways:
●
Connection to the Sensor connector
– R&S NRP-ZK6 (six-pole interface cable) for R&S NRPxx power sensors
– No additional cable for R&S NRP-Zxx power sensors (cable is fixed on the sen-
sor)
●
Connection to the USB connector
Requires the following cables, depending on the used sensor type:
– R&S NRP-ZKU (USB interface cable) for R&S NRPxx power sensors
– R&S NRP-Z3 or R&S NRP-Z4 (USB adapter cables) for sensors of the R&S
NRP-Zxx family
●
Connection via 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 con-
nected sensors.
Requires additional cables, depending on the used output connector of the hub.
Choose one of the following:
– Short extension cable R&S NRP-Z2 for connection to the sensor connector.
This six-pole connection provides the external trigger capability.
– Standard USB cable (USB type A to USB type B) to any USB type A connector
of the R&S SMBV100B. This connection does not support external triggering.
●
Connection via USB hub with external power supply unit
Requires the following cables, depending on the used sensor type:
– R&S NRP-ZKU (USB interface cable) for R&S NRPxx power sensors
– R&S NRP-Z3 or R&S NRP-Z4 (USB adapter cables) for sensors of the R&S
NRP-Zxx family
●
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.
