SignalVu-PC is RF and vector signal analysis software that helps you validate RF designs. Whether your design validation needs include EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing, wideband radar, wireless LAN or frequency-hopping communications, the SignalVu-PC comprehensive suite of tools and application software can speed your time-to-insight by showing you the time-variant behavior of these signals. SignalVu-PC's free base version has 17 signal analysis and real-time spectrum analysis tools, with paid add-on options for EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing and de-bugging, vector signal analysis, pulsed signal analysis, and commercial wireless signal analysis.

SignalVu-PC vector signal analysis software uses the same analysis capabilities found in the RSA5000 and RSA6000 Series real-time signal analyzers. Time-correlated measurements can be made of frequency, phase, amplitude, and modulation versus time. Acquisitions from the USB Spectrum Analyzers and all Tektronix MDO/MSO/DPO Series oscilloscopes, including the spectrum analyzer in the Mixed Domain Oscilloscope can be analyzed with SignalVu-PC, adding deep analysis capabilities to these broadband acquisition systems.

The basic SignalVu-PC enables spectrum analysis, RF power and statistics, spectrograms, amplitude, frequency and phase vs. time, and analog modulation measurements. Applications are available for P25, Bluetooth, LTE, Mapping, Playback of recorded files, WLAN, settling time, audio, modulation, pulse, and OFDM analysis. Wideband satellite and point-to-point microwave links can be directly observed with SignalVu-PC analysis software.

DataVu-PC: DVPC-PULSE-FL License

Buy NowBuy Now

DataVu-PC is recording and analysis software used to rapidly find signals of interest in large RF datasets, supporting all Tektronix RSA spectrum analyzers. When 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.

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.

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.

DVPC-PULSE enables search and marker measurements. Up to 2 million pulses can later be stored for reanalysis in PDW and JSON format. Requires DVPC-SPAN and DVPC-SMARK application licenses.
