R&S Power Viewer PlusConnecting Sensors to the PC8.2.3 R&S NRP-Z5 Sensor HubThe R&S NRP-Z5 sensor hub allows up to four power sensors to beoperated on one PC. It combines the following functions:• 4-port USB 2.0 hub with Multi-TT architecture• Power supply• Through-wired trigger bus• Trigger input and trigger output via BNC socketsIt is possible to cascade several R&S NRP-Z5 sensor hubs byconnecting the R&S Instrument port of an R&S NRP-Z5 to one of thesensor ports of another R&S NRP-Z5. However, external triggering andthe use of the Trigger Master function are then not possible. Instead, itis recommended that you connect all R&S NRP-Z5 hubs individually tothe USB host or to an interposed USB hub. Then feed the externaltrigger signal to all R&S NRP-Z5 hubs via their trigger inputs.Fig. 8.2.3: Connecting the USB hub.Manual 36
