FAQS FAQ ID I've just recieved a RSA6100B series instrument and it is prompting me for a password.
The RSA6100B series instruments ship with the default password "gladius"69401 Is there a manual for RSAVu software? It doesn't appear to have the same menu structure as my RSA6114A.
There are only release notes available for RSAVu. However, it is based on the user interface of the RSA3408A. Download that manual and use it as a guide. It will be the same interface as RSAVu. Link: User Manual61991 I have version 1.1.90 firmware installed in my Real Time Spectrum Analyzer. Now I am connecting the RTPA2A. Where is the driver?
When using the RTPA2A for the first time, a driver installation dialog will pop up on the screen. Specify the driver location as: C:\Program Files\Tektronix\RSA6100A\ProbeAdapter52861 We have an RSA and would like to control it from a computer. Are there LabVIEW drivers for these instruments?
