a) Switch off the power of the signal source.
b) Press the [Zero] key of the R&S

NRX.

c) Tap "Zero All Sensors".

3. Configure the measurement.

a) In the "Measurement Settings" dialog, select the "Measurement Type", for

example "Continuous Average".

b) Tap "Quick Setup"

> "Auto Set".

4. Switch on the signal source.

The measurement starts, and the result is displayed in dBm.

5. If necessary, perform further settings.
