In addition, the R&S
NRP2 supports command sets of power meters from other manu-
facturers. Thus, it is possible for example, to conveniently replace a power meter by
the R&S
NRP2.

) VISA is a standardized software interface library providing input and output functions to communicate
with instruments. A VISA installation on the controller is a prerequisite for remote control over USB or LAN
when using VXI-11 protocol. However, no VISA installation is necessary to remote control while using
Ethernet (socket communication)
