RSA306

USB real time spectrum analyzer, 9 kHz - 6.2 GHz, 40 MHz acquisition bandwidth.

The RSA306 requires a PC with Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10, 64-bit operating system. A USB 3.0 connection is required for operation of the RSA306. 8 GB RAM and 20 GB free drive space is required for installation of SignalVu-PC. For full performance of the real time features of the RSA306, an Intel Core i7 4th generation processor is required. Processors of lower performance can be used, with reduced real-time performance.

Storage of streaming data requires that the PC be equipped with a drive capable of streaming storage rates of 300 MB/sec.

SignalVu-PC application-specific licenses

SignalVu-PC-SVE requires the Microsoft Windows 7, 8/8.1, or 10, 64-bit operating system. The base software is free, included with the instrument, and is also available to download from www.tektronix.com/node/7106.

In December 2015, the license policy and nomenclature was changed for SignalVu-PC and its options. This will be a gradual change with systems running in parallel for both ordering new capabilities and accessing trial versions of optional licenses.

The legacy system, with SignalVu-PC and its associated options, will continue to be supported in the software, so there is no need to change your current licenses. You will also be able to use the trial options present in the legacy system for several months after the transition.

The new application licenses offer standard node-locked (NL) licenses, plus new floating licenses (FL) that can be checked in and out of the Tektronix Asset Management System (Tek AMS) on the Tektronix.com Web site. Trial licenses are also available in the new system on the ordering pages for SignalVu-PC on Tektronix.com.

The following SignalVu-PC application licenses are available and add functionality and value to your measurement solution. The new license structure and the old options are shown.
