Hi Walt,
It's a bit difficult to tell what's going on from your screen shots, and you don't mention what you are measuring at the time, but to me it looks to me like hash from your PC and USB port

Re: Odd request: Tiny SA for Receiver sensitivity measurement.....
There is Comtekk Sinad. Not free, 39$ shareware.
And there is Arta. Which you can use in "demo" mode with some limitations? that does audio spectrum analysis and THD and THD+noise measurements

Odd request: Tiny SA for Receiver sensitivity measurement.....
Hi Erik,
I?m using the TinySA not only as spectrum analyzer, it recently became pretty handy to have an RF Source with adjustable level for some receiver tests.
With external attenuators I could get

Different scan images when USB connected
Hi all!
New user of the TinySA here. I am familiar with spectrum analyzers as I have been in electronics and ham radio most of my life. Saw this device and bought two. Very nice quality and operation

Re: New tinySA-App.exe: Added mode, rbw and attenuation buttons
Or is it due to limited bit resolution elsewhere in the tinysa's sampling ?

This capture is also showing the limited 16-bit scanraw dB resolution (clear vertical bit resolution). 24-bit would certainly solve that.

Re: New tinySA-App.exe: Added mode, rbw and attenuation buttons
What I can see in your 1st image is the scanraw floating point to 16-bit (2-byte) integer compression showing itself (limited dB resolution).
The only way to improve that would be to go to a 24-bit

Yes it certainly can help.
The time averaging is very useful too, it's the same as the tinysa's own averaging per point (sample repeat ?) ..
