NOTE. The performance verification procedure is not a calibration procedure. The performance verification procedure
only verifies that your instrument meets key speci fications. F or your instrument to be calibrated, it must be returned to
aTektronixse

NOTE. This manual applies only to instruments calibrated with Version 1 RF Signal Path Gain Cal. or later. For instruments
calibrated with Version 0 RF Signal Pa th Gain Cal, use the Specifications and Performance Verification manual Tektronix part

Thetestsinthissectionmakeupaconfirmation of performance and functionality when the following requirements are met:
The SignalVu-PC application must be version 3.5.0134 or greater.
The instrument was calibrated using Version 1 RF Signal Path G ain Cal. (See page vii, Determining RF signal path
gain calibration version.)
Operate the instrument in an environment that meets the temperature, altitude, and humidity characteristics listed in
the specifications.
The instrument must be completely assembled and covers installed per factory specification.
The instrument must have been operating for a warm-up period of at least for 30 minutes (after being connected to the
PC, starting the SignalVu-PC application, and SignalVu-PC is connected to the RSA306 instrument and continuously
acquiring data).
NOTE. The RSA306 does not fully power on until SignalVu-PC has established communication with the R SA306 and is
acquiring data.
The instrument must have had its last alignment routine done after at least a 30 minute warm–up period at an ambient
temperature not more than ±2 °C different than the current ambient temperature.
