Note: This page is used to show the configuration that is generic for all Rohde & Schwarz NRP Zxx-Series powermeter device drivers. This page can now easily be embedded on all relevant device driver pages.

The RohdeSchwarzNRPZSeriesPowermeters is a power meter with a diode head connected by USB to the PC.

Notes[edit]

  • The RadiMation® device driver can only be used if the program NRPView, 1.0.27 or above, from Rohde & Schwarz is installed. When installing the program make sure that you install all the items. If not all items are installed, some required DLL's are not installed.
  • Setting the resolution higher will make the measurement slower because the power meter is taking more samples and perform an average over the samples. This is done dynamically depending on the power measured.
  • The syntax for the Instrument Descriptor is as follows: USB::<vendor Id>::<product Id>::<serial number>, where:
    • <vendor Id> is 0AAD for Rohde&Schwarz
    • <product Id> depends on the sensor
    • <serial number> you can find on your sensor. Serial number is a number with 6 digits. For example: 900003

The <product Id> is depending on the specific model of the powerhead, and can be lookedup from the table:

Examples: "USB::0x0AAD::0x000B::900003"

You can use '*' for <product Id> or <serial number>. It is however suggested to use fully qualified resource descriptors, when more than one sensor is connected. The asterisk placeholder, can only be used when only one single sensor is connected.

Examples:

  • "USB::0x0AAD::0x000C::*" - Opens first NRP-Z11 sensor on the USB bus
  • "USB::0x0AAD::*" - Opens first R&S sensor on the USB bus
  • "*" - Opens first R&S sensor on the USB bus

Related RadiMation errors[edit]

  • RadiMation Error: -1074001424: "Instrument status error". This error is raised when a zero is performed on the power meter, and too much power is present during the zero operation. In this case, decrease the applied power and perform the zero operation again.

Installation[edit]

Please go the official website of the manufacturer Rohde & Schwarz and go to the page of your R&S®NRP Average Power Sensor model. [1]

Apparently the required component for this driver is the R&S® NRP-Toolkit.

Install the R&S NRP-toolkit for Windows: https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/software/nrp-z2x1/?facet=facet.SoftwareType&facet.SoftwareType=Tools
