The RSA7100A allows users to record up to 2 hours of streaming capture to internal RAID storage at the full 800 MHz bandwidth for such applications as environment recording and long event sequence analysis. Once the wideband signal data has been captured, the DataVu-PC software application makes it easy to quickly find and mark events of interest hiding within terabytes of stored data. DataVu-PC offers amplitude search and mark plus pulse measurements. Up to 2,000,000 pulses can be characterized for power, pulse-width, repetition interval and start-stop frequencies. Measurements can be exported in Pulse Descriptor Word format for use with other tools. Also, using DataVu-PC, smaller IQ files can be saved from within the longer captured file based on search and mark or manual selection. Click here to see Products Specs
