RE: MSO58 standby mode average power consumption
Hello,
Since we don’t spec this, I measured it myself with a power analyzer (PA1000) using a 1 GHz MSO58. This should be taken with a grain of salt as this equipment wasn’t recently calibrated. But, I’d say give this about a ±3% error for the resulting values.
I was getting an average of about 6.4 Watts in standby mode, with peaks of 7.5 Watts, and lower end of 5.3 Watts. The power factor was jumping around a bit in standby mode.
While powered on, I was getting an average of 178 Watts in standby mode with some measurements on the display. I saw peaks of 220W during power up.
One thing if forgot to mention is, this was done with no active probes attached to the input channels. Some Hall-effect current probes can take in about 8 watts each. Attach a few of these to the scope and it’ll definitely change the results. Most active voltage probes require under 2 watts.
I also took a measurement on the 2 GHz model as it has different front-end hardware so I thought that would make a small difference. To my surprise it made a fairly significant difference.
I was getting an average of 228 Watts of power with no active probes connected. The TPP1000 passive probes that come with the scope make a negligible difference when connected.

RE: TDS794D available equivalent
The suggested replacement for a TDS794D would be the 5 Series B MSO. The 5 Series B MSO can have 4,6, or 8 channels, has up to 2GHz bandwidth, and has a Sample Rate of up to 6.25GS/s. More information and detail about the scope can be found at the product page linked below. You could also consider the 4 Series MSO and 6 Series B MSO. Both are linked below as well.

RE: DPO4AUTOMAX Availability?
Hello,
Unfortunately the DPO4AUTOMAX is obsolete. I'm not aware of any source to get a new one. One possible option would be to look in the used market by searching the web for one.

RE: MDO3054 Automaticaly Toggling Relay
The audible relay clicks are from the 50 ohm to 1M ohm path changing. This can only be done via front panel button or programming commands. If just doing this on it's own, I would say there is a problem with the front panel and or the buttons. It could be a failing part or a wire connection.
Below is a link to the service manual if you want to do more investigation on your own.

To set up a repair RMA (model and serial number)
call 1-800-833-9200 opt 2.
Or send an email to rmarequest@tektronix.com
https://www.tek.com/en/services/repair/mytek_rma_requestHiRegarding the TPP0500Bs, yes you are correct in that when the TPP0500B is connected, the operator should not be able to alter the termination manually via button or programming.

RE: API for Linux interface for RSA306B?
Hello,
Here is a link to the API manual: https://www.tek.com/en/spectrum-analyzer/rsa306-manual/rsa306-rsa306b-and-rsa500a600a
This should include most function definitions you will need to get started using the API, including IF streaming functions.
Additionally, the Tektronix GitHub contains some API examples: https://github.com/tektronix/RSA_API

RE: TDS3014C replacement?
The recommended replacement for the TDS3014C would be the MDO34 with opt. 3-BW-100 (100MHz Bandwidth). You can find the datasheet here: https://www.tek.com/en/datasheet/3-series-mdo

RE: RSA 507A and OMNI-A0112 antenna issues
Hello,
SignalVu-PC only directly supports the Alaris antenna and does not acknowledge other antennas. This means that your new antenna will not be listed in the software, but you will still be getting data from the antenna. To make the antenna work properly with the software, you will need to get the gain map for the antenna and input that in the Amplitude Control Panel. You can get the gain map from the antenna datasheet/manufacturer.

RE: AWG70002B Always Rebooting Continually
It is likely that the SSD is corruptedm the best course of action would be to replace the drive with AWG702BUP SSD.
