Release Notes: SignalVu-PC Vector Signal Analysis Software ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.2.0107 Date: November 19, 2013 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This release note summarizes new features, improvements and bug fixes contained in the above software release. The current software for SignalVu-PC is available at www.tektronix.com Version 3.2.0107 adds the following functions: WLAN 802.11 transmitter measurements: WLAN 802.11a/b/g/j/p Tx measurements (SignalVu-PC SV23) WLAN 802.11n Tx measurements (SignalVu-PC SV24) WLAN 802.11ac Tx measurements (SignalVu-PC SV25) Live connection to MDO4000B series oscilloscopes: Live Link (Opt CON) Bug fixes and other enhancements -------------------------------- - Access to Presets control has been consolidated into the Presets menu and removed from the File, Tools and Setup menus. - Support for recall of .wfm and .isf file types has been improved. - The displays selected by built-in presets are now shown in the Presets dialog. - Automatic installation of TekVisa (instrument remote communication software) is now provided. 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. Documentation ------------- The SignalVu-PC programmers manual is available on www.tektronix.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.7.1076 Date: November 19, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This release note summarizes new features, improvements and bug fixes contained in the above software release. The current software for SignalVu-PC is available at www.tektronix.com Version 2.7.1076 adds the following functions. - Maintenance release, no new functions. Bug fixes and other enhancements -------------------------------- - Corrected license management to maintain valid licenses across Daylight Savings Time (DST) and standard Time (ST). - Improved data logging for diagnosing license activation failures. 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.
