I'm looking for the user manual for the 2635B and is unsure if the manual online is for all 2600 models. Where can I find these?

Where can I find the user manual of the DSA71604C scope? I am using it with the probes P7513A.

The USB port will not all me to communicate with the scope.

This suddenly stopped working yesterday.

My DPO4104 is not detecting the USB drive in the front. The drive was an Apricorn USB 3.0, which is encrypted for security, I'm not sure if this may be the issue.

The scope locks up after variable amount of time and I am not able to send commands to the scope anymore. It appears from google search online that the USB server is not responding. Do you have any tips to workaround or fix this issue?

Hi, I have a question regarding the RSA 507A's USB connection as it relates to an upcoming RF sensor deployment I am working on. We are in the sensor design phase currently, and still deciding on which spectrum analyzer to use. Our setup will consist of an antenna, a custom built preselector, a spectrum analyzer, and a computer. The antenna and preselector will be deployed outdoors in a potentially high-off-the-ground location. We will either need to build a weatherproof enclosure to hold the spectrum analyzer in the same location, or we can run a cable down the antenna mast to an enclosure on the ground containing the computer. Due to RF cable losses, it would be ideal to place the RSA 507A near the antenna, and to run the USB connection to the computer a long distance, rather than to run a very long RF cable and a short USB connection. In trying to decide our course of action here, my question for you is: what are the limitations with the Tektronix RSA 507A's USB connection length? Aside from the provided cable, would there be any issues using a USB cable on the order of 50-100ft in length, assuming such a cable would probably have an active repeater (such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-SuperSpeed-Extension-U330-05M/dp/B008VOPDOU). My worry is that it may be difficult to source high quality USB cables of this length, and that this may lead to problems with data transfer rates. Have you had any experience with similar deployments? What were the solutions in those cases, if so? For reference, we are considering other spectrum analyzers which use Ethernet instead of USB connections, which should not have a problem running such large distances. Is the only safe solution to bundle the RSA 507A + computer in a weatherproof enclosure nearby to the preselector?

Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide on this topic.

I am in need of a better understanding of what the upper bandwidth limit of the ADA400A is. I am seeing conflicting information on datasheets and the web that it is either 1MHz or >1MHz.

Can you help confirm what the upper bandwidth is? We plan to buy this differential amplifier along with a MS2024B oscilloscope.

I'm planning to upgrade my computer to Windows 10 v.20H2, but first want to confirm that my 6517B would work with it.

I was wondering how it would work to upgrade my oscilloscope from 200 MHz to 350 MHz bandwidth. How does the pricing work and is it just an installation done in software or would a whole new oscilloscope need to be purchased?

I have a question regarding the firmware update for my MSO58. As my unit is not a windows based system, what firmware do I use for upgrading?
