I have uploaded several Tektronix documents pertaining to the "A" suffix models to: https://groups.io/g/TekScopes/files/spectrum_analyzers/Tek Real Time SA

Bruce, I did not see if your 3308 is an A or B. I have a 3308A. B is even better. If you have a B, here is a link to the datasheet: https://w140.com/tekwiki/images/d/d1/37W_23236_6_0_RSA3000B_Series_D

496A ??? 496P maybe?

A couple other options to possibly consider: The Tektronix AM700. A real, dedicated audio test system. Anything with XLR connectors says "audio" and lets you interface balanced or un-balanced hi-Z or

I was just curious - not so much about the word 'cursor' - but as to who first offered a scope that gave users a way to make (somewhat) precise measurements of waveform parameters instead of having to

When was the Nicolet scope introduced? The one I was thinking of is the Dumont Type 425 High-Frequency Digital readout oscilloscope with: "direct reading digital readout on two axes" "an unusual two-d

Cursors as in highlighted dots (or bars) that can be moved along the trace with a corresponding method of determining time and voltage.. A second part of the question (if the answer is different) - wh

Mine runs XP. It's been rock solid.

Dennis, I am glad you are OK. Have some fun. Get yourself a new to you Tektronix instrument like a DSA or RTSA and occupy your mind with learning new things!

You will love it. A great learning tool. I didn't realize how much they weigh until I got one. The new Tek USB real time analyzers just weigh a few pounds but these are very substantial at 20 kg / 44

It is a very nice instrument, fast and accurate. The windows OS makes it easy to save screen images and other data to USB devices. Option 21 is very helpful. If you get it, I suggest that you open the

A reasonable price for an RSA3408A might be somewhere in the range of 3000 to 5000 USD, depending on the condition of the instrument and the trust you have in the seller. An RSA3408B will sell for a l

I am sorry I won't be able to disassemble my unit to inspect the CPU. I don't believe there was any obvious difference in appearance between the board in the machine and the drawings in the service ma

The 491 is an interesting historical artifact. For that purpose, you would be far better off with an un-molested one like Dick has.

I think Tek stopped developing RSAVu about 2010 and now they have another program: SignalVu-PC is the foundation of RF and vector signal analysis software that helps you easily validate RF designs. It

I have always liked Tektronix spectrum analyzers. I had a 496, then a 494P - that was awesome. Rock solid, no drift, frequency accurate, and direct entry of parameters from the front panel (once you m

Go to the TekWiki RSAVu page. On the right side of the screen you will find two download options. The top one goes to Tek & errors out but the bottom link works. Let us know about all the fun things y

I have the RSA 3308A with Opt. 21 – Advanced Measurement Suite - that's very handy. The 'A' models display the real time data in spectrogram format. The 'B' models have the "DPX" transform engine whic

Once you get the basics working - then comes the fun stuff. Like bandwidth. You're going to need a lot more than just your sampling rate suggests. And line drivers. Your audio sources are independent
