Operating the Sensor on a PC via the R&S NRT-Z4 PCMCIA
Interface Adapter
These applications require a controller with a PCMCIA type II connector and an R&S NRT-Z4 interface
adapter. The sensor is power-supplied by the controller via the PCMCIA interface and handled as a
peripheral unit equipped with a serial interface (COM1 to COM4).
The sensor may be operated using the supplied
Virtual NRT
Windows
user interface (see chapter 2)
or via an application program (chapter 3). The
Virtual NRT
program simulates the user interface of a
power reflection meter on the monitor and enables manual power measurements.
1.5.1
Installing a PCMCIA Interface Card (SIO Card)
Connect SIO card to sensor via connecting cable (see Fig. 1-2).
Switch off controller and plug SIO card into the empty PCMCIA type II slot. The printed side of the
SIO card must be turned upwards.
Switch on controller and wait for booting.
The following steps depend on the operating system used. They are described in detail on the installa-
tion disks of the R&S NRT-Z4 interface adapter; see ASCII files liesmich.txt (German) or readme.txt
(English).
It is essential that the controller can access the SIO card after installation as a peripheral unit with serial
interface.
Connect the sensor to the connecting cable and test it by means of the
Virtual NRT
program
(chapter 2).
