Power Viewer+ Software

Features• Free software to control NRP-Z

USB sensors from a PC• Data log captures up to 24

hours of measurement data• Up to 4 sensors simultaneously• Resolution down to 5 ns/div for

repeating signals• Place markers for automated

measurements and set trigger levels with the click of a mouse

• Display statistics such as CCDF• Easy timeslot measurements



Application with multiple sensors

Many measurement tasks require the use of multiple sensors. Power Viewer+ allows the simultaneous measurement of four channels and computes parameters such as the reflection coefficient or gain.



Remote power measurments

R&S NRP-Z sensors may be operated up to 100 m away from the controlling computersystem by using the icron USB ranger combination LEX and REX or AnywhereUSB from Digi International.



Remote power measurments

R&S NRP-Z11 sensors are ideal for monitoring forward and reverse power distributed inDVB-T broadcasting systems.
