ADC and IF overload are detected and the user is informed and streaming data is flagged, but not stopped. Furthermore, an IF overload will initiate a protection event that will switch out the input signal. If SignalVu-PC is acquiring samples when this occurs, SignalVu-PC will automatically reset the switch periodically so that if the overload condition goes away, the input will continue to be sampled normally.

If the overload occurs while SignalVu-PC is not acquiring, then before SignalVu-PC starts acquiring it will automatically set an appropriate reference level then begin acquiring. When Center Frequency (CF) is < 80 MHz and reference level is < -40 dBm with pre-amp on, LO-to-IF leakage can cause ADC overload due to the 0 Hz spur. In this case, increasing reference level will correct the overload condition.

Includes: Installation and safety manual, 3.5mm Crown Connector-Female, PCIe cable, mouse, keyboard, adapter: Mini-Display Port to HDMI, Mini-Display Port to DVI. Power cables, rack mount kits for acquisition unit and controller. Controller rack-mount is a 'telecom-style'. A server-style rackmount can also be used with the controller, available from third parties.

Note: A PC monitor is not included with the RSA7100A. Tektronix recommends the Dell UltraSharp U2414H 23.8 inch Widescreen IPS LCD Monitor, or any monitor that supports Display port, DVI or HDMI input and has a minimum 1920 x 1080 display resolution.

SignalVu-PC licenses can be ordered as options to the RSA7100A and are installed on the included controller during manufacturing, minimizing order complexity and saving you time in configuration upon receiving your instrument. These licenses are node-locked to the controller and can be moved twice over the lifetime of the license. Standalone licenses, either node-locked or floating, can be ordered and customer-installed on the controller if greater flexibility is needed.

The application licenses below can be added to the controller of your RSA7100A at the time of manufacture, saving you time in managing the installation of the licenses.

All licenses installed in the factory are node-locked to the controller. Floating licenses are also available, managed with the Tektronix Asset Management System (Tek AMS). For a complete list of separately purchased floating and node-locked license, see the SignalVu-PC datasheet for ordering information.

DataVu-PC is recommended for users who record data using the RSA7100A streaming and RAID options. Ordering information for DataVu-PC is shown below. See the separate DataVu-PC datasheet for details on licensing, minimum PC requirements, features, and functions.

DataVu-PC is distributed via www.tek.com. Hard copy versions of the software are not available. An operation manual is distributed in .pdf format with the software.

When purchasing DataVu-PC, you choose any one of the three base version DVPC-SPAN licenses (50 MHz, 200 MHz or 1000 MHz). The only difference between span licenses is the bandwidth of the allowed analysis. Choose the bandwidth that covers the maximum bandwidth of your acquisition/recording system. For example, all USB-based analyzers are accommodated with the DVPC-SPAN50 license, and all RSA7100A recordings at full bandwidth require DVPC-SPAN1000.

DVPC-SMARK, DVPC-MREC, and DVPC-PULSE work with any DVPC-SPAN bandwidth license chosen for analysis. The DVPC-SMARK license requires a DVPC-SPAN license of any bandwidth, and the DVPC-MREC and DVPC-PULSE licenses require a DVPC-SMARK license.

Additional controllers are available for the RSA7100A should you need to have controllers in multiple locationss. The CTRL7100A is identical to the unit included with the RSA7100A. For detailed ordering information, see the CTRL7100A datasheet on www.Tek.com.
