Remote Control Connections
The following sections describe the required remote control connections between Lev-
eling Tool PC, VNA, and power meter. The required connections are the same for all
supported instruments, so we use the R&S
ZNA as a typical example.
5.1
Setup with R&S
NRP110T or R&S
NRP-Z58
These power meters are supported by the analyzer firmware. They can be connected
to any of the USB connectors on the front or rear panel of the analyzer.
The Leveling Tool uses a LAN (or GPIB) connection to operate the analyzer (read/write
settings, query results).
5.2
Setup with a VDI Erickson Power Meter
The VDI Erickson power meters PM5 and PM4 are not natively supported by the ana-
lyzer firmware. The PMx control unit is connected
to the Leveling Tool PC
via USB.
The PM5 is equipped with a USB interface, for the PM4 an additional USB-to-RS232
adapter is required unless the Leveling Tool PC is equipped with an RS232 interface.
The driver for the PM5 or the USB-to-RS232 adapter has to be installed on the Level-
ing Tool PC before running the tool.
