Detection and mapping
The R&S
SMBV100B automatically detects a connected R&S NRP power sensor and
indicates it in the "NRP Power Viewer" and "NRP Sensor Mapping" dialogs.
By default, detected sensors are indicated as follows:
●
A sensor connected at the Sensor socket is assigned as "Sensor 1".
If no sensor is connected to this socket, channel 1 remains unassigned.
●
Sensors 2 to 4 are assigned to the sensors at the USB connectors, according to
their sequence of connection.
You can change the default mapping in the
dialog.
On connection, the R&S
SMBV100B immediately starts the measurement of a detec-
ted R&S NRP power sensor. If you perform an instrument preset ([Preset] key or
*RST
), the R&S
SMBV100B stops the measurements. The connection and the map-
ping of the power sensors remain, the measurements must be restarted.

NRP Sensor Mapping
The "NRP Sensor Mapping" lists all R&S NRP sensors detected by the instrument.
Any R&S NRP sensor that supports the USB legacy protocol and is connected to one
of the USB interfaces, is detected automatically and added to the list. Vice versa, the
R&S
SMBV100B removes a sensor from the list, when it is disconnected.
R&S NRP sensors that are connected via LAN or use the USBTMC protocol are not
automatically detected. They are detected by the scan search function.
Access:
► Select "RF" > "RF Measurement" > "NRP Sensor Mapping".
