Installation
This section provides instructions on how to install the software and
hardware, and how to perform a functional check to verify system
operation. Refer to the SignalVu-PC Help for more detailed operation
and application information.
Unpack the instrument and check that you have received all of the
items marked in the table as standard accessories for your instrument
con
fi
guration. (See page 2,
.) If you ordered
optional accessories, check that those you ordered are in your shipment.
All of the software required to operate the RSA from a PC is included
on the
fl
ash drive that ships with the instrument. The RSA can be
controlled with the Tektronix SignalVu-PC software, or you can control
the instrument through the API. If you intend to use API control, you
must still load the SignalVu-PC software to install the TekVISA driver
and enable API control. Both SignalVu-PC and API control require a
USB 3.0 connection for communication.
