Incorrectly connecting/disconnecting the R&S NRP power sensors can
damage the power sensors or lead to erroneous results.
Ensure that you connect/disconnect your power sensor as described in
Chapter 4, "Preparing for Use" , on page 10.
1. Connect the cables as shown in Figure 4-1 :
a) Connect the R&S NRP
‑
ZKU cable to the power sensor.
See "To connect a cable to the host interface of the power sensor"
on page 13.
b) Connect the R&S NRP
‑
ZKU cable to the computer.
c) Connect the power sensor to the signal source.
2. On the computer, start a software application to view the measurement
results.
