How to save a trace as a CSV with the DSA800 Series
To save a trace as a CSV:
1) Insert USB stick into the USB port on the front panel
NOTE: The format of the USB stick must be FAT32
2) Press STORAGE > Set BROWSER to DIR. You can press the button next to the Browser label to toggle the selection.
NOTE: The spectrum analyzer uses binary files (*.trc) and cannot use CSV files (*.csv) natively. CSV will not be available as a valid format if you are trying to save the file to the local drive (D:)
3) Use the scroll wheel to select Mobile Disk (E:)
4) Change File Type to Trace and press the back arrow to get back to the storage screen
5) Set Format to CSV
6) Press Save, use the keypad to write a filename (I use numbers, they are faster), and press OK
RSA3000, RSA3000E and RSA5000 Alternative Factory Reset and Firmware Upgrade
To reset the RSA3000, RSA3000E and the RSA5000 series to factory settings without using the System menu:
1) Power cycle the instrument
2) During the boot sequence, quickly and repeatedly press the Back button directly below the keypad on the instrument.
To upgrade the firmware on the RSA3000, RSA3000E and the RSA5000 series to factory settings without using the System menu:
1) Power cycle the instrument
2) Insert a flash drive into the front of the instrument with the latest firmware version loaded onto the root directory of the drive.
3) During the boot sequence, quickly and repeatedly press the Preset button in the upper right hand corner of the instrument.
RSA3000/3000E/5000 series Open Source Acknowledgment
RIGOL’s RSA3000/3000E/5000 series product uses a number of open source software packages. This document lists the open source software packages used in RSA3000/3000E/5000 series product.

How to save a screen shot on the RSA3000 and RSA5000 series at the push of a button.
In order to take a screen shot on the RSA5000, RSA3000 or RSA3000E and have it automatically save to your flash drive follow the steps below.
1) Insert flash drive into the instrument and confirm that you can identify it in the File Explore menu.
2) Press the Save button
3) Press Quicksave Path
4) Press Set Path
5) Select your flash drive
6) Press OK.
This will change the quick save buttons path from saving a screen shot internally to your flash drive.
Booting the DSA800 series Spectrum Analysers from a USB memory stick
If your DSA800 series spectrum analyser does not boot when powered up it may be possible to correct the issue by booting off of a USB memory stick.
When the spectrum analyser is powered on you will see a message at the bottom left corner of the display that says:
Waiting Input… (Press ‘Preset’ to boot from the U-Disk)
At this time press the green Preset key on the left side of the display. You will need to do this pretty quick as the message quickly disappears. Once Preset is pressed you should then see a second message that says:
Testing U-Disk…(Please Insert U-Disk)
Now insert the USB memory stick that contains the firmware image in the root directory.
If successful the spectrum analyser will complete the boot up sequence using the memory stick and the firmware image will be restored on the instrument.
S1210 – Using dBuV units successfully
Recent versions of DSA815 Firmware and S1210 software improved the operation of the amplitude units in the software. These versions are:
Instrument Firmware – 00.01.19
1210 Software – 05.00.07
On occasion it is still possible to show a data offset due to changing units such as this:
This is usually caused by using the instrument from the front panel and setting the amplitude to dBuV manually. The software is expecting the instrument to be in default dBm before it runs. The best way to for data to be correctly processed is to hit the green PRESET button if you have been changing settings on the instrument between software runs.
With the factory preset active the data is correct in dBuV:
S1210 Final Scan
Once a pre-scan has been done there are 2 ways to add a marker:
Double click on the graph in the Measure window. That will create a marker in the Marker Table:
Or right click in the marker table area to add a marker:
When the markers are set correctly you can right-click on the marker to select Add to Peak Table:
Now when you tab to the Peak Table you see the added Peak (in addition to the Peak Search peaks that have been located if you clicked on Peak Search).
Now, in the Test menu select Final Scan Start. The final scan will update the Final Svan Levels for all the items in the Peak table using the settings on the scan config:
Saving and Using Test Setups in EMI mode
Relative measurements are critical in EMI: How does the good board compare to the failed board? How does this look with the CISPR Average detector or against another limit line? Is that coming from the device or the environment? Learn how to create, organise, and open complete test setups for comparison and data recording. Setups can include data traces and instrument configuration details.
EMI Automated Test Setup
Make EMI measurements simpler and faster by automating the process. Combine scans, searches, and interactive measurements. Also conduct further analysis on signals of interest with a single button on the same instrument engineers use for advanced debugging of emissions and signals.
How to use Limit Lines in EMI mode
Access the built in limit lines or configure your own for custom testing. Use the limits and margins when searching for signals of interest or for interactive measurements using multiple detectors.
