6.1 R&S NRP Toolkit
Before you start using the power sensors with a software solution, you have to install
the R&S NRP Toolkit.
The R&S NRP Toolkit is the basic software package that supplies low-level drivers and
tools for all power sensors. It is provided on your documentation CD-ROM and on the
Rohde & Schwarz website. The content of the toolkit depends on your operating sys-
tem.
To ensure that your power sensor is recognized properly by your system, first install
the R&S NRP Toolkit on your laptop/PC and then connect your power sensor for the
first time.
