The Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z91 device driver is a Power Meter which is supported by RadiMation®.

Configuration

The following tabs are available in the advanced configuration of the Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z91:

ConfigurableFrequencyRangeTab.png

The frequency range of the Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z91 as provided by the manufacturer is shown and selected as default. It is possible to overrule these frequencies and to manual adjust the allowed frequency range of the Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z91.

ScreenElementDescription.png Use default start frequency If the checkbox is checked, the default start frequency will be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device.
ScreenElementDescription.png Custom start frequency If the Use default start frequency checkbox is unchecked, another start frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized start frequency will then be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default start frequency.
ScreenElementDescription.png Use default stop frequency If the checkbox is checked, the default stop frequency will be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device.
ScreenElementDescription.png Custom stop frequency If the Use default stop frequency checkbox is unchecked, another stop frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized stop frequency will then be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default stop frequency.


Specifying a different frequency range can be useful if for example:

  • A device (like a coupler, antenna, injection device, cable, etc...) is still useable (but out of specification) outside the standard suggested frequency range.
  • An external mixer is used to measure an extended frequency range.
  • An up- or down-convertor is used to shift the frequency range.
  • A newer model of a device is present that has an extended frequency range, and still uses the same remote control commands.

Be careful changing these setting as RadiMation® is no longer able to verify if the Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z91 is used outside frequency range that is specified by the manufacturer. This may result to serious damage of your measurement device.

The NRP-Z91 is a USB Power meter with a diode head.

notes

  • The driver can only be used if the program NRPView, 1.0.27 and above, from R & S is installed. When installing the program make sure that you install all the items. if you do not do this, some dll's will not be copied.
  • 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 following:

USB::<vendor Id>::<product Id>::<serial number>

where <vendor Id> is 0aad for Rohde&Schwarz

     <product Id> depends on the sensor
                      NRP-Z21 : 0x0003
                      NRP-FU  : 0x0004

                      NRP-Z27 : 0x002f
     <serial number>  you can find on your sensor. Serial number is number
                      with 6 digits. For example 9000003

Examples: "USB::0x0aad::0x000b::100000"

You can use '*' for product id or serial number. We suggest full resource descriptor, when you have connected more sensors. You can use asterix, when one sensor is connected.

  • RadiMation Error: -1074001424("Instrument status error"), when doing a zero of the power meter. the power on the head is too much, decrease the power and try again.

dll(s) needed

The dll needed to use this device is changed by Rohde & Schwarz. so now you can use:

  • NrpControl2.dll
  • rsnrpz_32.dll

To get these dll's install the vxipnp driver from the CD supplied with the device.
