R&S NRP-Z27/-Z37 Overview
2 Virtual Power Meter
You will find the NrpFlashup program that enables you to operate the power sensor module with a PC
under Windows™ on the CD-ROM that accompanies the power sensor module. The program
comprises several modules which can be started centrally via the Windows™ start-menu entry NRP
Toolkit.
This section describes the Power Viewer program module. This is a virtual power meter which only
uses a cut-down set of the sensor's functions. This means that after an extremely brief familiarization
period, you can perform measurements.
The other modules in NrpFlashup are described in Chapter 3 of the operating manual (Terminal
module) or in the service manual (Firmware Update module).
Overview
Start the virtual power meter using the NRP Toolkit – Power Viewer start-menu entry. The Power
Viewer program window is displayed (Fig. 2-1).

The result display occupies most of the program window. The result, unit and additional power sensor
module status information are displayed. The serial number of the sensor is displayed in the bottom
right. The program window also contains animated buttons and entry fields (see Table 2-1 and Table
2-2).
