Record Analysis Software for Real-Time Spectrum AnalyzersWhen combined with the signal recording capabilities of all Tektronix spectrum analyzers, DataVu-PC can turn hours of attended monitoring into fast post-acquisition search, mark and measurement tasks. You can search based on signal amplitude and frequency characteristics, marking each occurrence of an event for later examination. Pulse measurements can be made with the pulse application on up to 2,000,000 pulses and PDWs can be exported in tab-delimited format with headers for integration into other workflows.

Should you need to perform in-depth modulation, pulse or standards-based analysis, DataVu-PC can convert recordings to the SignalVu-PC file format (.TIQ), and can convert recordings made with Tektronix USB-based spectrum analyzers and SignalVu-PC from .R3F format into formats compatible with DataVu-PC.

DataVu-PC Offers Highly Flexible, 2-Channel Recording with USB Spectrum Analyzers

DataVu-PC offers recording using two RSAs so that you can operate at two independent frequencies and spans simultaneously. One instrument can be used for wide-span signal detection and a second instrument can be used for isolation on signals of interest and recording for later analysis. Or, both instruments can be used for recording. You can record in bandwidths from 9.7 kHz to 40 MHz. Recording in narrower bandwidths reduces data loads, minimizing disk space and search times.

DVPC-SPAN Application Licenses

The DVPC-SPAN application licenses of DataVu-PC enable replay of recorded files in XDAT, TIQ, and SIQD formats. Control and recording with a single RSA300/500/600 USB-based instrument is supported. Three views are available and recordings from any source are supported with colorgraded persistence spectrum, spectrogram, and power vs. time. FFT processing can be adjusted up to 99% overlap ensuring no signal is missed, and speed can be adjusted to minimize playback time. All adjustments can be made during file playback without a restart of the analysis. The RSA LiveVu display, for control and recording with a single RSA300/500/600, is included in the SPAN application license.

DVPC-MREC Application License

DVPC-MREC Application License

DVPC-MREC application license of DataVu-PC enables live control and recording with two USB-based spectrum analyzers simultaneously. You can record widely-separated transmit/receive bands, or any two areas of interest with this capability. You can set one analyzer to sweep a broad span (up to the full range of the instrument), and then direct the second analyzer to tune to areas of interest found with the broad sweep. Recordings can be made from 9.7 kHz span up to 40 MHz on either or both instruments. It requires any DVPC-SPAN license and DVPC-SMARK license.

DVPC-SMARK Application License

DVPC-SMARK enables the smart markers in DataVu-PC, with user-defined amplitude search and mark, frequency-mask search, and enables the Time Overview display. eMarkers allow you to find all possible markers that match your desired criteria and save up to 2,000,000 points of interest in a file. Marker points can be used to define the reanalysis point for the recording, allowing you to quickly zoom in on the signal of interest for deeper examination. It requires a DVPC-SPAN application license.

The frequency mask search can quickly find spectrum violations and signals lower than the dominant signals in the recording based on both amplitude and frequency characteristics. You can immediately determine the repetition rate and duration of each transient, and make notes in the table on the nature of each violation.
