VISA library. "Other" is used in particular for USB connections, e.g. for auto-detec-
ted R&S NRP-Zxx sensors.
●
"Address" contains the address for the current interface type. GPIB addresses
must be unique for all devices connected to the GPIB bus (range: 0 to 30), GPIB
and IP addresses must agree with the entries in the VISA library. The remaining
interface types require composite address formats; see
.
If an instrument is connected to the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT, the entries in the DRIVER
FOR NEW INSTRUMENT panel can be auto-detected for the specified interface
type and address.
●
"Identify" sends an identification query ("IDN?") to the specified device address in
order to identify the type and serial number of the connected power meter and
select an appropriate driver file. Power meter driver files (
*.pwm
) are stored in the
Resources\ExtDev
subdirectory of the analyzer's program directory.

Auto Config NRP-Zxx
Causes the analyzer to clear the lists of "Known Devices" and "Configured Devices"
and automatically configure all NRP-Zxx power meters detected at any of the USB
ports as Pmtr 1, Pmtr 2... No manual configuration is required.

External Power Meter Config Dialog
Allows to modify configuration of certain external power meters, i.e. settings that are
persistently stored on the power meter (and NOT on the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT). This
requires the respective device to be online, i.e. connected, switched on and ready to
be used.
