The RSA500 Series instruments require a PC with Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit operating system and a USB 3.0 connection. 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 RSA500 , an Intel Core i7 4th generation processor or greater 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.

Includes: USB 3.0 cable (2 M), A-A connection, screw lock, shoulder strap, carrying case (with room for unit, tablet, accessories), quick-start manual (printed), connector covers, WFM200BA Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack, WFM200BA Li-Ion battery pack instructions (printed), AC power adapter, power cord (see power plug options), API and documentation files.

A variety of optional, licensed applications are available for purchase for SignalVu-PC. These licenses can be associated with and stored on either your PC or any RSA300 Series, RSA500 Series, RSA600 Series, and RSA7100A spectrum analyzers. Licenses can be purchased as an option to your hardware or separately as a Node-locked or a Floating license.

Contact your local Tektronix Account Manager to purchase a license. If your purchased license is not ordered as an option to your instrument, you will receive an email with a list of the applications purchased and the URL to the Tektronix Product License Web page, where you will create an account and can then manage your licenses using the Tektronix Asset Management System (AMS):http://www.tek.com/products/product-license.

AMS provides an inventory of the license(s) in your account. It enables you to check out or check in a license and view the history of licenses.

Optional applications are enabled by one of the following license types.

A variety of phase-stabilized cables are available for the RSA500 tracking generator when used with the optional cable and antenna measurements software.

Calibration kits can be used to improve the factory calibration of the tracking generator when equipped with application SV60-Return loss, VSWR, cable loss, and distance to fault.

These phase-stabilized cables are high performance cables that are phase-stable to +- 2 degrees at 7.5 GHz, with return loss less than -20 dB. Velocity constant is 0.78. Loss at 7.5 GHz specified to be less than -1.05 dB (0.6 m), -1.61 dB (1.0 m), -2.30 dB (1.5m) (all values nominal).
