Problems and solutions

If starting the RTSA suite PRO 

does not start the measurement 

automatically.

the measurement manually by clicking on the Start/Stop button in the ribbon bar should work 

without problem.

Pressing the “Connect” button 

Check that all cables are connected correctly, and that the power supply is properly plugged into 

the power socket.

The status display in the ribbon 

error.

The USB connection does not provide enough bandwidth to transfer all data from the device to the 

PC. There are two types of causes for this:

▷ The “

DATA” connection does not support USB 3 SuperSpeed. Please make sure the port is con-

nected to a USB 3.x port on the PC or the cable does support the USB 3 “SuperSpeed” standard.

▷ The cur

rent measurement parameters are set too high. Some parameter combinations require 

more bandwidth than a single USB 3 connection can handle. This can be caused by using both Rx1 

and Rx2 in parallel, or using more than 122 MHz RTBW on a RSA 2000X model. When using such set-

ups please also connect the “BOOST” cable in addition to the “DATA” cable.

ration. Either reduce the amount of data generated (lower Receiver Clock setting or use Spectra 

example by reducing the FFT size in the IQ Power Spectrum block settings).

displayed.

settings. In particular using the “Spectra” connectors while using IQ “Output Format”, or using “IQ 2” or 

“Spectra 2” outputs without changing the “Receiver Channels” setting.
