11. R&S NRP-Z USB Power Sensors
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.

12. R&S NRP-Z USB Power Sensors
Remote power measurments
R&S NRP-Z sensors may be operated up to 100 m away from the controlling computer system by using the icron USB ranger combination LEX and REX or AnywhereUSB from Digi International.

13. R&S NRP-Z USB Power Sensors
Remote power measurments
R&S NRP-Z11 sensors are ideal for monitoring forward and reverse power distributed in DVB-T broadcasting systems.
