Introduction The RSA306B and RSA306B-SMA are portable, 40 MHz Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers that contain 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.
Publicly-accessible software application programming interface (API) for Windows and Linux operating systems RSA306B-SMA model provides a SMA connector RSA306B-SMA with the No-Shell option ships without the plastic housing, allowing for easier integration into a system Standard accessories The instrument ships with the following accessories.
Type-N (m) connector, 1.6 foot (50 cm) Cable, 50 Ω, Type-N (m) to Type-N (m) 174-5002-xx connector, 3 foot (91 cm) Service options Table 3: Purchased with instrument Option number Description Calibration Service 3 Years Calibration Service 5 Years RSA306B and RSA306B-SMA Installation and Safety Instructions...

All of the software required to operate the RSA from a PC is included on the flash 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.
After the software has been installed, connect the USB cable included with the analyzer between the analyzer and the host PC. Connect an RF cable between the RSA input and the signal source. (See Figure 2.) RSA306B and RSA306B-SMA Installation and Safety Instructions...
