Preface
Determining RF signal path gain calibration version
This manual applies only to those instruments c alibrated w ith Version 1 RF Signal Path G ain Cal. or later.
For instruments c alibrated with Version 0 RF Signal Path Gain Cal,, do not use this manual. Instead, use the Specifications
and Performance Verification manual Tektronix part number 077-1030-XX available on the Tektronix web site.
Use the following table to determine the version that was used to calibrate your instrument.

Secondary process to determine version
If your instrument is Serial numbered B010793 or below, and you are unsure if your instrument has ever been recalibrated
(from i
ts original factory calibration), use the following methods to verify the version.
Preferred method. The preferred method requires SignalVu-PC software version 3.5.0119 or greater. Run S ignalVu-PC
and connect to the RSA306. In the SignalVu-PC application, select Help/About Tektronix Real Time Signal A nalyzer. In the
displayed windo, scroll through the Hardware Information section to find the line that reads “RF s ignal path gain calibration
constants Ver:. if 0 is displayed, you have Version 0 RF Signal Path Gain C al. and you cannot use this manual. If the
number 1 (or greater) is displayed, you can use this manual.
Alternate method. The alternate m ethod is based on using a version of SignalVu-PC software that is below 3.5.0119.
Run an alignment (accessed from menu item Tools/Alignments). If there is no message saying “Data from uncalibrated
inst
rument” in the lower left corner of the graticule, then the instrument has Version 0 RF Signal Path Gain Cal. and
you cannot use this m anual.
