The following sections introduce the power measurement with the
R&S
Power
Viewer and the WebGUI (web browser-based user interface). Section
Chapter 11, "Programming examples"
on page 187 describes the corresponding
programming examples for working in remote control mode. See the
R&S
Power
Viewer manual for more information on how to use the various func-
tions of the application.
The descriptions refer to the applications running on an MS
Windows system. It is
assumed, that the measurement is set up, and the required software and drivers
are installed on the PC.

Using R&S
Power
Viewer
This section shows how to start the application and access the settings relevant
for OTA measurements.
For handling and using the tool in detail, see the "R&S
Power
Viewer Software
Manual" that comes with the installation, see
on page 27. The software manual describes also how to install and
use the application on Linux or macOS operating systems.
The R&S
Power
Viewer supports measuring the received signals of up to 12
antenna modules, and enables you, to perform simultaneous OTA measurements
of four sensor module, each transmitting the readings of up to three antenna
modules.
The R&S
Power
Viewer provides the following measurement modes for OTA
measurements:
●
"OTA Single"
Evaluates the continuous average power of up to 3 antenna module signals
measured by an R&S
NRPM3(N).
Controls one R&S
NRPM3(N) sensor module, i.e. you can measure the con-
tinuous average power of up to 3 antenna module signals.
●
"OTA Multi Sensor"
Supports the measurements of up to four sensor modules, i.e. you can mea-
sure the continuous average power of up to 12 antenna module signals.
●
"OTA Trace Measurement"
Controls one sensor module, i.e. you can measure the power of up to 3
antenna module signals in trace mode.
