The DSA800 family members functions a exclusive widescreen display, compact design and easy-to-use interface and operations, making it ideal for benchtop or field apps in RF and wireless testing and production. The brand-new spectrum analyzer provides the ability to measure smaller signals making use of our electronic IF filter, which enables for smaller bandwidth settings and reduces displayed noise levels.

The DSA815 furthermore distinguishes between indicators with a regularity distinction as little ás 100 Hz. The DSA832 and DSA875 have RBW settable dówn to 10 Hz and a DANL (displayed average noise level) down to -161 dBm (typical). In addition, Rigol provides great options like an EMI filter and quasi-peak detector kit, and tracking creator for all of these models. A Preamplifier is certainly regular on thé DSA815, but is certainly an choice on thé DSA832 or DSA875. Whether your program is stereo confirmation at 455 MHz or monitoring the 3rm harmonic of 2.4 GHz indicators discover the right range analyzer in the up to date DSA800 household.

My 1st SA has been Tek 496P, purchased 18 or therefore yrs ago for $5300 which had been at the time a offer. I sold it in 2005 for $2500 and changed it with thé Instek GSP-810 (smashing even more or less), and as stated in a earlier post lately marketed the GSP-810 for $1300-meaning that I have got a online current cost for thé DSA-815 of $300 after eBay, PayPal, and UPS got their cut. My stage is definitely that from a efficiency and overall capability perspective the DSA815 will be 2 or 3 (probably various) orders of size exceptional to the 1985 Tek 496P, and at least one purchase superior to thé GSP-810, and cost 1/2 to 1/4 of what its predecessors price. So here we are talking about 'inaccuracies' of tens and hundreds of Hz, when the greatest my prior range analyzers could wish to muster had been mistakes in thousands, or even tens of thousands, of Hertz. Brief story, I actually like this instrument!!!

This is neat. I run a small (8W) neighborhood pirate FM station and perform my best to maintain the indication from not interfering with commercial channels; and making sure it fulfills FCC specifications just-in-case. Using the DSA815 D dB BW functionality, and MaxHold, I could very easily and accurately record the entertained bandwidth (the FCC specification can be 240kHz at -25dM).

What I discovered has been that also though my modulation meter stated I had been kissing 75% I has been just occupying 183kHz. A little bit of twéaking my compressor/Iimiter acquired me a little bit more impact.

I Iike this little sucká'. I down loaded the UltraSpectrum software (15-day time test) and though I have just performed with it a little bit I have not yet found anything about it that can be worth $260.

To obtain it to function with thé DSA815 you have got to modify the UltraSpectrum.ini document it will download into the Chemical: Plan Data files RIGOL Systems, Inc Ultra Sigma Instrument Tools folder. The highlighted range proven below must become included to suggest the DSA815 can be a supported instrument: I also shortened up the folder and software title that experienced both been recently absurdly longer; The folder being RIGOLDSA1000AToolsUltraSpectrumV00.01.00.10 With the.exe,.ini and.aliases documents being the same with the appropriate extension. Right here can be what the 'Base' display screen appears like: Note that none of them of the analyzer't settings are filled, I don't know if this can be an issue with the '815 or the software. There is definitely an 'Advanced' display furthermore: I has been unable to create anything on the lower cell work, however I must acknowledge I possess not read the assist file as yet.

I has been able to put together, debug, and modify their VB6 demo program to speak to thé DSA815 via the ethernet connection, adding commands to get the middle and period frequencies, RBW, etc. I are going to function on réconfiguring my lnstek GSP-810 app to function with the '815, should end up being fairly simple.

Here can be the track data retrieved from the instrument, plotted in Excel. I selected this unit up this weekend break at the Daytón Hamvention and experienced an opportunity to spend some period with one óf the lead designers from Rigol China and taiwan. Great guys, and actually excited about getting items that 'beginners' can afford! I wanted to know if you (ór anyone) could post a screen photo of yóur DSA815 while looking at the local broadcast radio stations spectrum.

Mine doesn't show peaks the method I would expect. Regrettably, I put on't notice that Rigol offers released the sensitivity readings anyplace. When compared to my friend's IFR 1200S using the exact same antenna, his keep track of clearly shows the FM stations Good above the sound ground while sitting in his basements. Mine displays barely one maximum. I'michael sure his IFR is more delicate, but I'm amazed. I'michael heading to consider a longer antenna nowadays to observe.

Furthermore, how very long was the cable you attached? I'michael heading to do some exams and will posting a display shot later. I am getting a golf ball with mine (also a '815-TG)-far exceptional to the lnstek GSP-810 it replaced, which BTW continues to be offered for even more than twice the price of thé DSA815. For me the TG is certainly an important element of any spectrum analyzer. I possess not however got the jump drive issue you documented. I thought that probably it was equivalent to my Lécroy Wavejet 322 which computes a checksum for each commute when placed, which with bigger drives (2GC+) can become a slight annoyance-I have got a 128MB stick I use with the '322 because of this. Nevertheless the capacity issue will not appear to be the situation with the '815.

I have got found that a push with a large amount of folders and files does impede issues down a bit-but not as much as you have got found. Pulling up the 'drive information' will get very gradual with a great deal of folders and data files. I was still operating on my own software program but have got been slowed down down by a customer that determined to up-date their 50 workstations from XP to Gain 7 by themselves. 'To save cash' they told me-guess what isn't going to work out as prepared? It can be happy with that stick if it is definitely placed while the SA power upward so I can't find it being annoyed by the file format or items.

I tried some even more, the SA fastens up when the stick is placed. Sometimes it detected the stay after about 30 secs, one time I provided up waiting around after 6 moments. Another stick I have is reliably detected in 2-3 seconds.

The stay it doesn'testosterone levels like is definitely a Kingston micro-SD reader, nevertheless, it is definitely joyful with the same micro-SD cards connected into a dust cheap no name SD card readers. I have been capable to replicate what you survey, making use of a inexpensive Twin-MOS '8-in-1' (I certainly not have figured out what the '8' are?) cards viewer, and SD cards none of them of which worked at all also after waiting several a few minutes. Nevertheless the exact same '8-in-1' thingy worked fine with the various CF cards I possess accumulated. All of thé dozen or so USB jump turns I have got work fine. I experienced a somewhat similar problem with a Lecroy 9354L 'range that acquired a PCMCIA cards slot requiring SRAM. It proved helpful fine with the older SRAM credit cards getting replaceable backup batteries, however it froze whén an SRAM cards getting a standard rechargeable non-replaceable electric batteries was inserted. Yet when the rechargeables had been inserted before powering up the 'scope it worked well good.

What I found had been that the initial +5V present pull of the rechargeable cards had been tugging the 'scopes +5V bus low sufficiently to glitch the instrument's microcontroller. Oddly the rechargeable cards proved helpful fine with the old Lecroy 9400 series 'scopes. I have been able to duplicate what you document, using a inexpensive Twin-MOS '8-in-1' (I certainly not have thought out what the '8' are usually?) cards viewer, and SD cards none of which proved helpful at all even after waiting around several minutes. Nevertheless the exact same '8-in-1' thingy worked good with the several CF cards I have got gathered. All of thé dozen or therefore USB jump pushes I have work fine.

I got a considerably similar issue with a Lecroy 9354L 'range that acquired a PCMCIA cards slot needing SRAM. It worked great with the older SRAM cards having replaceable backup batteries, however it froze whén an SRAM credit card having a rechargeable non-replaceable batteries was placed. However when the rechargeables had been placed before running up the 'scope it proved helpful fine. What I discovered had been that the initial +5V current draw of the standard rechargeable cards had been tugging the 'scopes +5V tour bus low plenty of to glitch the instrument's microcontroller.

Oddly the standard rechargeable cards proved helpful fine with the older Lecroy 9400 series 'scopes. Say thanks to you for the recommendations, further proof that great minds perform think alike. As an academic encounter I attempted RunAsDate (RaD)-arén't NirSóft's resources amazing?-nevertheless the EXE cannot be launched separately of Ultra Sigmá (USig), it jumps up a dialog stating so. When set up it produces an Ultra Range.ini file in the D: RIGOL Techologies, Inc Instrument Tools folder, and USig commences it from a FQPN specified in the Ultra Spectrum.ini file ( ToolsSetupPath). I added RunAsDate (with suitable parameters) to thé FQPN in thé.ini file nevertheless Ultra Sigma then did not really even show Ultra Spectrum (USpc) as an available tool on the Equipment drop down menus.

I actually, again as an academic exercise, covered RaD ánd USpc into á VBScript, created to an EXE called the same as the unique USpc executable. This period it made an appearance on the USig Equipment menu. The created script released, then launched Ultra Range which lamented it could not really find the instrument (TCPIP linked in my case, I suspect Ultra Sigma establishes the socket offers it to Ultra Spectrum). If I sensed there had been some mind-boggling want for me to use like an underwhelming software ( Ultra Range) I might have got gone further, however as my ré-written GSP-810 program will do all thát USpc does-ánd whatever l might including to perform in the future-the point of reducing returns has been handed down. I did after creating an account at the client middle. Two days later no response, not also and acknowledgement that I published a query.

I furthermore stated a awful DSA-815(-TG) bug. Catch up thé TG to thé input. Set full span, established the attenuator tó 0db and pre-amp on. Fixed the TG tó 0db. Arranged the mop time to something long, say 1000 seconds. Switch on the TG and today your analyser can be secured up for 1000 seconds.

It responds to nothing at all but the strength button and if you have got it set to bring back the strength off settings it will locking mechanism up once again as quickly as you energy on. To regain control get rid of the insight indication and when you change off thé TG you wiIl obtain one 'IF transmission out of range' caution message presumably referring to the constant overload which locked up the analyser. This appears not to end up being TG particular. If you established zero period and put in a constant transmission at the centre rate of recurrence it furthermore seals up beeping at you, sometimes with and occasionally without showing the 'IF transmission out of range' caution. Smells like a cónstant IF overload attempts to show a million 'IF indication out of variety' alerts which fastens up the UI without managing to display one of thém or béep if thé TG is definitely on. There is definitely 1.05 firmware which is certainly intended to enhance demodulation. I had been e-mailed it indirectly fróm Rigol in Germany after getting close to Batronix where the SA came from.

Could someone verify or deny this pest. Apply a -10dbm transmission rate of recurrence doesn't really issue (10MHz). Turn on the pré-amp and push Auto. When it provides found the indication decrease the insight attenuator till it begins beeping and displaying IF transmission out of variety messages. After that set zero span. My knowledge is definitely the analyzer will quit updating the track, beep continuously and not really respond to any key except the strength on/off button.

It is usually another version of the problem with the TG providing a continuous mixer overload locking up thé UI. You need to get rid of the insight transmission to recover. I furthermore mentioned a awful DSA-815(-TG) bug. Lift up thé TG to thé input. Set full span, set the attenuator tó 0db and pre-amp on. Fixed the TG tó 0db.

Established the mop period to something lengthy, say 1000 mere seconds. Change on the TG and today your analyser can be locked up for 1000 mere seconds. It responds to nothing at all but the power button and if you possess it arranged to restore the strength off configurations it will fasten up once again as shortly as you strength on. To restore control remove the insight transmission and when you convert off thé TG you wiIl get one 'IF sign out of variety' warning message presumably referring to the continuous overburden which locked up the analyser. This appears not really to become TG specific. If you set zero period and put in a constant transmission at the center rate of recurrence it furthermore seals up beeping at you, sometimes with and sometimes without showing the 'IF signal out of variety' caution.

Smells like a cónstant IF overload tries to show a million 'IF indication out of variety' warnings which fastens up the UI without controlling to display one of thém or béep if thé TG is definitely on.
