In addition to the "Cont Av" mode (continuous average-power measurements) available
for all sensors, further measurement modes can be used for most of the sensor types.

ContAv, Trace & …
Measurement modes:
"Cont Av" In the Cont inuous Av erage mode, the average signal power is contin-
uously measured without the acquisition interval and signal being in
sync. (see
​
chapter 4.2.1.2, "Continuous average-power measure-
ments" , on page 66).
"Trace&Statis-
tics"
In the Trace & Statistics mode, the R&S NRP2 analyzes the power
envelope of the test signal and displays the power envelope either as
a function of time or in its probability distribution and probability density
distribution function (see
​
chapter 4.2.1.6, "Trace & statistics measure-
ments" , on page 72).
"T'slot Av" In the Timeslot Av erage mode, the average power can be measured
over defined time intervals of a signal with periodic envelope.
The timeslot mode should be used preferably for signals with an equally
spaced timeslot structure (see
​
chapter 4.2.1.4, "Measuring the average
power of TDMA signals" , on page 69).
"T 'gate Av" In the Timegate Av erage mode, the average power can be measured
over defined time intervals of a signal with periodic envelope.
The timegate mode provides four user-configurable gates for the mea-
surement (see
​
chapter 4.2.1.5, "Measuring the average power in
gates" , on page 71 ).
