Preface RSA306B Installation and Safety Instructions...
Introduction The RSA306B is a portable, 40 MHz Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer that contains an acquisition system inside a small module. The user interface and display resides on a user-provided PC running SignalVu-PC software or a user-developed application. The host PC provides all power, control, and data signals over the USB 3.0 cable included with the instrument.
USB 3.0 port 64-bit Windows 7, 8, or 10 OS For full performance of the real time features of the RSA306B, an Intel Core i7 4th generation processor and 8 GB RAM 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.

After you have installed the software and connected the system components, the spectrum trace will be active on your PC, confirming system operation. When you are ready to disconnect from the RSA306B, select Disconnect from Instrument to end the current connection.
Installation Front-panel connections The RSA306B signal analyzer has four input connectors on the front panel. Figure 3: RSA306B front panel 1 – Input connector This N-type female connector receives the RF signal input, via cable or antenna. The input signal frequency range is 9 kHz to 6.2 GHz. Keep the protective cover on the connector when not in use.
