Offset (bytes) Size( bytes) Content Description --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2180 4 (int32) RefTime Source Reference Time source, values: 0=Unknown, 1=System(PC), 2=GNSS, 3=User 2184 8 (uint64) Start Timestamp Counter timestamp of first sample stored in file 2192 7*4 (int32) Start Walltime Walltime of first sample stored in file: 7 values, each int32: Year,Month,Day,Hour,Minute,Second,NanoSeconds Known Issues ------------ - RSA7100A marker files recorded using power level triggers have >17mS time gaps. Workaround: Use Frequency Mask Trigger to record correct marker files. - Calculated magnetic declination values are not applied to 'Map It' measurements when using the smart antenna. Workaround: Enter a manual declination value in the antenna control panel. - In Pulsed RF displays, after selecting a measurement via the 'Result' control, changing the selected measurement via the mouse wheel changes the measurement setting in the Result control but does not change the displayed measurement result. Workaround: Use the result pulldown list to select the desired measurement result. - R3A file data (raw data) is recorded *with* the embedded 28-byte USB frame footer. This occurs when using the "Raw" Data Structure type - the format that creates separate R3H (header) and R3A (raw data) output file pairs. In SignalVu-PC: Record Setup/Data structure = Raw Workaround: Use SignalVu-PC release 3.9.0029 if R3A files need to be captured. Contact Tektronix for access to the 3.9.0029 release.

Known Issues ------------ - In Return Loss and Cable Loss displays the horizontal scale control changes the measurement setup (frequency start/stop). - Autoscale in Return Loss and Cable Loss displays resets the db/div setting. - In the Distance to Fault display the marker x-domain defaults to frequency. It should default to distance. Workaround: Select distance in the Marker toolbar to enable knob or direct entry control of the DTF marker position. - Return Loss and Distance to Fault displays programmatic control: INIT command does not work properly after recalling a .setup file while in Single acquisition operation. Workaround: Recall the .setup file while in Continuous acquisition operation, then switch to Single. - After changing the selected display with Return Loss, Cable Loss or Distance to Fault displays active and in Single acquisition operation, selecting Run may not initiate a measurement. Workaround: After selecting a new active display select Run twice to obtain an updated trace. - Mask Search 'Stop' action sometimes stops one acquisition after the event. Workaround: Use Replay 'Previous' to back up one acquisition and see the event. - Triggering does not function correctly for .r3f file playback. - Additional measurements may be added to the Pulse Table upon recalling a .setup or .tiq file that was saved prior to this release. Workaround: Perform a main preset prior to recall. Re-save the file using this current release. - The order in which selected measurements appear in the pulse table may not be consistent upon recall of a .tiq or .setup file - the order presented may change depending on which measurements are selected prior to the recall. - There is no limit to the number of pulses that can be analyzed by the pulse cumulative displays (SVP). However, Pulse Trace, Pulse Table, and Pulse Statistics Displays provide a control for 'Max number of pulses' which, if selected, will limit the number of pulses analyzed in the current acquisition. - The Traces toolbar may show with controls missing or stacked upon each other. Workaround: Expand SignalVu-PC display to full screen, or restart the application. Documentation ------------- The instrument help files have been updated to include the new features.

The current software for SignalVu-PC is available at www.tektronix.com Version 3.5.0119 adds the following functions. Bluetooth 4.1 analysis for Low Energy, Basic Rate and Enhanced Data Rate (opt SV27) Bug fixes and other enhancements -------------------------------- - Improved audio output performance for RSA306 to better reject signals at CF+/-8MHz. - Fixed occasional analysis failure in Spectrum display when using large Span/RBW ratios. - Fixed horizontal and vertical scaling inconsistencies for the 'Spur Search Multi Zone 9k-1GHz' Application Preset. - RSA306 calibration data version information is now shown in the Hardware Information section in Help/About. Known Issues ------------ Bluetooth 4.1 analysis (Opt SV27): - Standard Presets when selected from the Bluetooth Summary settings control panel (on the left side of the control panel) does not set the Reference filter and Analysis Time correctly. Only Standard gets set correctly. Workaround: Use Presets/Standards from Main Menu to correctly set all parameters. - Basic Rate patterns with only preamble and Access Address are not supported. - De-whitening is not done for header and payload regions in Low Energy non-test pattern signals. - For Basic Rate, the analysis module will report the packet type and other header information appropriately. The Packet type in summary is listed if the signal that is being analyzed is DH1/3/5, DM1/3/5 or EDR signals 2-DH1/3/5 or 3-DH1/3/5. Although the Type field (4 bits) under Packet Header will show the correct 4 bit code, any other packet type apart from the ones listed above will be shown as OTHERS. - The ratio of Deltaf2avg/Deltaf1avg is incorrectly computed in Frequency deviation vs time even after Clear is pressed in Summary. The previous packet results should be cleared on selecting Clear from Summary and when the next packet is analyzed only the result corresponding to chosen test pattern should be calculated and therefore the ratio should not be computed. Workaround: Repeat selection of the measurement from Standard Presets. - The calculations shown in the display for Frequency Deviation vs time are white in color and do not show up properly in Blizzard View. Workaround – Use the ‘Classic’ color scheme for Frequency Deviation vs time. Documentation ------------- The instrument help files have been updated to include the new features.

Known Issues ------------ - Vertical axis labels may all show 0.0 for some scales in linear units due to insufficient readout resolution. - P25: Symbol table display may not show results values. Workaround: Change display dimensions, maximize/minimize display, add/remove other displays. - P25: Summary display/Frequency Deviation results do not employ an FM Demodulator BW between 3 and 15 kHz as specified in the standard. Workaround: Measure frequency deviation using the Analog Modulation/FM measurement display with the Measurement BW set appropriately. - P25: The Transient Frequency behavior measurement in P25 Freq Dev vs Time display will show mean frequency deviation > 12.5 kHz as failure in t1 and t3 regions. The standard specifies this comparison for Pass/Fail to be done only when the output power rating is more than 6 Watts. Workaround: Ignore the pass/fail results for this measurement if the radio output power rating is < 6 Watts. - P25: Programmatic commands for Pass/Fail results in the P25 Summary display are not available. - Mask Test: No control available for setting basename for saved files. Workaround: Save a trace, picture, or acquisition data file to set the file basename prior to enabling Mask Test. - Mask Test: Programmatic commands to save/load masks work for only the new .msk file format - the older .csv format is not supported.

Known Issues ------------ - Marker automatic movement functions (peak, next right/left, next higher/lower) do not function for WLAN displays WLAN Spectral Flatness, WLAN EVM, WLAN Mag Error and WLAN Phase Error. Workaround: Markers may be positioned with usual methods - click and drag, direct entry of position value. - The WLAN Spectral Flatness Marker table value always shows the value of the Points trace. - The WLAN preset parameter settings (standard and bandwidth) are not persistent. These settings are reset to default values each time the application starts up. Workaround: Use Preset action 'Show list' to verify the preset parameter selections. - The Guard Interval selection should be allowed only for 802.11n and 802.11ac WLAN standards. Workaround: None needed. Analysis for standards that don't have guard intervals is correct regardless of the Guard Interval setting. - Export Results (.CSV) values are not filtered by the selected WLAN standard. Results pertaining to other WLAN standards can be included in the exported results. - The WLAN Symbol Table data display is incorrect when the subcarrier index is changed with the Data range set to Single subcarrier. Workaround: Use a Data range setting other than Single - WLAN Phase Error, Mag Error, and EVM markers are not properly correlated with Spectrum markers - The trace display and trace freeze checkbox labels may be missing in the WLAN Constellation display settings panel. Workaround: Use Windows 7 personalization setting. - 802.11b WLAN EVM, Mag Error and Phase Error displays can use incorrect scaling values when the Displayed Results are set for Header only. Workaround: Use Autoscale to correct the scale setting. - In the WLAN Phase Error display the marker units display shows percent instead of degrees. Workaround: None. The marker value and units are in degrees, only the units display is incorrect. - On re-install of SignalVu-PC check the 'Install TekVisa' and the 'Enable control of SignalVu-PC through the programmatic interface' checkboxes to retain the ability to use the programmatic interface. - Programming query 'calc:wlan:cons:mark:val¡' always returns the marker value in decimal units, does not obey the radix setting.

Known Issues ------------ - .tiq files saved using MDO (Mixed Domain Oscilloscope) software version 2.52 and earlier do not contain full settings information. Workaround: * Preset SignalVu-PC. Manually set the center frequency, span and bandwidth for the analysis. * Open the .tiq file. * Save as a .tiq file to preserve the settings. - Sampling rate display in the Acquisition panel is not updated when opening a DPX Spectrogram .tiq file. - The status message "data from {0}" may appear with some recalled files. This indicates that the acqsition data originated from an uncalibrated scope. - The RF Attentuation setting used during data acquistion is not displayed in SignalVu-PC. - No example user presets are shipped with this version of SignalVu-PC. However, user presets are supported as described in the user manual. Workaround: Use the Windows Explorer to create a new folder: C:\SignalVu-PC Files\User Presets for storing user preset files.
