If an instrument is connected to the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT, the entries in the [Driver for
New Instrument] panel can be auto-detected for the specified interface type and
address.
●
"Identify" sends an identification query ("IDN?") to the specified device address to
identify the type and serial number of the connected power meter and select an
appropriate driver file. Power meter driver files (
*.pwm
) are stored in the
Resources\ExtDev
subdirectory of the analyzer's program directory.

Auto Config
Causes the analyzer to clear the lists of "Known Devices" and "Configured Devices"
and to configure all R&S
NRPxxS/SN power sensors, detected at any of the USB
ports, automatically. No manual configuration is required.

External Power Meter Config dialog
Allows to modify configuration of certain external power meters, i.e. settings that are
persistently stored on the power meter (and NOT on the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT). This
requires the respective device to be online, i.e. connected, switched on and ready to
be used.
