What is your old spectrum analyser hiding from you? |
|
Watch this video to see how Digital Phosphorus Technology, or DPX reveals signals that your old spectrum analyser might be hiding from you. DPX is a Tektronix patented acquisition mode that performs the hardware DSP processing and rasterizing of the samples into pixel information in order to reveal signal detail like never before. It gives a truly “live” view of the RF signals, with its colour-grading feature allowing users to see different signals at the same frequency, but separated by either time or power levels. You can literally see signals hidden beneath other signals! |
SignalVu-PC Software |
SignalVu-PC brings benchtop and field features to the RSA306B
The RSA306B operates with SignalVu-PC, a powerful program that is the basis of Tektronix performance signal analyzers. The software controls the spectrum analyzer acquisition and updates measurement displays continuously.
The base version ships free with the product; add options for Bluetooth testing, WLAN testing, P25 compliance testing, pulse analysis and modulation analysis to configure the software for your application.
SignalVu-PC Introduction and Basic SettingsThis video is intended to assist anyone who is new to the Tektronix Realtime Spectrum Analyser software, "SignalVu-PC", and provide instruction on using the controls to make RF measurements. |

EMI/EMC Pre-compliance testing |
EMCVu: Your EMI/EMC Precompliance SoftwareSignalVu-PC now supports EMC pre-compliance testing with EMCVu. EMCVu is an all-in-one software solution for EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing and troubleshooting that runs on your own PC. |
| This gives you an easy, fast, accurate and affordable way to determine if your product designs are ready to submit to the test house for EMI/EMC radiation emission compliance testing. This is done through push button support for multiple standards, automated multiple measurement/multiple format reporting, ambient noise calibration and comparison, harmonic markers and faster scans using peak detector and spot measurements with quasi-peak and average detector failures. |  |

DataVu-PC Software |
Record-Analysis Software for Realtime Spectrum AnalysersWhen combined with the signal recording capabilities of all Tektronix USB and PCIe-based spectrum analyzers, DataVu-PC can turn hours of attended monitoring into fast post-acquisition search, mark, and measurement tasks. Analyze your results without adding the extra step of conversion software.
|
|
Three bandwidth options make DataVu-PC the most affordable way to analyze large files from all Tektronix Spectrum Analysers.

Be In Two Places at Once |
 |
With DataVu-PC 3.11, you can now record any signal of interest. Use triggers to start recording and minimize storage requirements and automate your signal search with tools like frequency mask, pulse descriptor words and smart markers. Couple DataVu-PC with two Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers, and you can record and examine two independent frequencies and spans simultaneously. For example, if you’re searching for a specific signal, you can see a very wide bandwidth in one display and zoom in to see certain signals in another display. |
