2 Virtual Power Meter
You will find the
NrpFlashup
program that enables you to operate the power sensor with a PC under
Windows™ on the CD-ROM that accompanies the power sensor. The program comprises several
modules which can be started centrally via the Windows™ start-menu entry
NRP Toolkit
.
This section describes the
Power Viewer
program module. This is a virtual power meter which only
uses a cut-down set of the power sensor’s functions. This means that after an extremely brief
familiarization period, you can perform measurements.
The other modules in
NrpFlashup
are described in Chapter 3 of the operating manual (
Terminal
and
Update S-Parameters
modules) or in the service manual (
Firmware Update
module).
