Installation Load the SignalVu-PC and TekVISA software This software must be installed to control the instrument through the SignalVu-PC software. Insert the flash drive included with the analyzer into the host PC. Windows File Explorer should open automatically. If it does not, open it manually and browse to the flash drive folder.
Installation Functional check Ensure AC power is supplied from an external power supply using the power cord and adapter that shipped with the instrument. Connect the USB cable included with the analyzer between the analyzer and the host PC. NOTE. The instrument automatically powers on and the front-panel power LED lights when a USB connection is detected.
