RTSA interface overview
The RTSA-Suite PRO is a very complex software. Please refer to the full manual for a detailed usage guide. This
quick start guide only references a few parts of the interface that are briefly described below:
Accessing the SPECTRAN® V6 settings
The mission which is loaded by default in the RTSA-Suite PRO uses all available screen space for displaying data.
To access the settings of the SPECTRAN
®
V6 it is necessary to open the Spectran V6 block by clicking on the
“Spectran V6” tab above the Waterfall display in the lower part of the RTSA-Suite PRO application window. That
action will switch the lower window section from the Histogram block to the Spectran V6 block where the device
parameters can be adjusted:
SPECTRAN V6 Ribbon Bar
Access to Blockgraph Editor
Access to SPECTRAN V6 and
IQ Power Spectrum blocks
CPU Saturation
Performance Monitor
The image only shows some of the available settings, it could be necessary to
scroll down and possibly open the available submenus (by clicking on the arrow
on the left side of the setting) to see them all.
In the same way the FFT parameters in the “IQ Power Spectrum” block can be
accessed, or the processing or display parameters of any other block.
Configuring the SPECTRAN® V6 RSA
The “Spectran V6” block provides many configuration options for tuning the device to your specific measurement
scenario. This quick start guide describes the most important settings briefly. If a setting is not mentioned below it
is recommended to leave it at its default value.

Center Frequency
Adjust this to match the frequency range to be measured.
Span
Adjusts the span of the frequency range to be measured, based on the selected RTBW. “Full” yields the maxi-
mum frequency range, the other settings will reduce it by the selected factor.
Full Spectrum
Makes the full RTBW spectrum available for use. By default, the outer areas are discarded to avoid possible artifacts.
Reference Level
This variable controls the sensitivity of the device. Strong signals may require tuning this up to increase the
