Avcom of Virginia RSA-6500
The Avcom of Virginia RSA-6500 is used as a spectrum analyzer that measures the magnitude of an input signal versus the frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. Its primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals.
About
This connector uses a serial connection to gather data from the device. Critical information related to the spectrum analyzer is displayed on a dedicated Spectrum Analyzer page, where advanced configuration is possible, e.g. adjusting the Center Frequency and Resolution Bandwidth.
