Installing the software

To use the SPECTRAN

®

 V6 RSA the Aaronia RTSA-Suite PRO analyzer software is required. A version of that is 

available on the USB stick included in the package under the “\Software\Installer” folder, alternatively you can 

download the most recent version at 

https://aaronia.com/downloads/

Installing the RTSA-Suite PRO on Windows 10 is pretty straightforward. Just double-click on the installer file on the 

USB stick or in your download folder:

The installation is similar to most other Windows applications. Read each screen carefully before clicking “Next”. In 

particular make sure that the “Install SPECTRAN V6 Driver” option is enabled (should be the default) on the last 

page of the installation process.

Starting the software

After the RTSA-Suite PRO is installed, start it like any other application using the start menu or desktop shortcut. 

The start of the RTSA-Suite PRO may take some time during which you may not see any interface elements, please 

be patient in that case, the application windows should appear within a few seconds.

Attention

Linux users: The RTSA also works on Linux, but the installer is not included on the USB stick and 
needs to be downloaded from our website. For obvious reasons the installer will have some differen-
ces to the Windows version, in particular it will not contain a “Install SPECTRAN V6 driver” option.

By default, the RTSA-Suite PRO will load a mission file that will connect to a connected SPECTRAN

®

 V6 RSA, start a 

measurement and display the data as spectrum, waterfall and histogram view. Of course, this only works if the 

device is properly connected to the PC before starting the RTSA-Suite PRO. If all works properly, your RTSA-Suite 

PRO window will look similar to this after a few seconds:

If your SPECTRAN

®

 V6 RSA is connected as instructed, but the RTSA-Suite PRO does not display a screen similar to 

the above please check for error messages in the bottom left corner of the screen and check the SPECTRAN
