Description


Rohde & Schwarz NPA101 Power Meter

The R&S®NPA101 comes with a brilliant QVGA colour display (320 × 240 pixels) that can simultaneously display up to 10 user‑configurable measurement results with a refresh rate of 10 measurements per second. The instrument has a basic accuracy of 0.05%. Signals are acquired from DC to 100 kHz with a sampling rate of 500 kSa/s. Current and voltage are displayed with 16-bit resolution. The R&S®NPA101 logging function lets users store measured data with a timestamp in CSV format for a nearly unlimited period of time. Screen content can be saved to a USB flash drive at the push of a button
