Measuring the power

If the R&S Spectrum Rider recognizes a power sensor, it sets up a connection via the
USB interface. After a few seconds, the R&S Spectrum Rider shows the measured
power.
If no power sensor has been connected or is not connected appropriately, the R&S
Spectrum Rider shows nothing.
If there are communication problems between the R&S Spectrum Rider and the power
sensor, the R&S Spectrum Rider displays an error message that indicates a possible
cause.
For more information on the error messages, see the R&S Spectrum Rider user man-
ual.

required before starting the measurement.
