Wi-Spy Report

Chanalyzer Pro Report

Density

The Density View maps and displays how often a frequency/amplitude point is being used. The less trafficked frequency
ranges will appear more transparent. The colors represent amplitude height with reds indicating higher signals and darker
blues lower power levels. An important feature of this view is that it picks up device-specific signatures which enables
analysis of what types of electronics are emitting RF energy in the area.

Waterfall

The Waterfall View graphs amplitude over time for each frequency in the band. The colors represent power levels in the
spectrum with dark blue as low and bright red as higher amplitude levels - much like a Doppler radar weather map. This view
will best indicates the instances where wireless devices like cordless phones or microwaves may have affected the spectrum.

Networks Graph

Chanalyzer Pro Report

The Networks Graph represents the Wi-Fi signal strength over time using data collected from the computer's Wi-Fi card. The
signal strength represents the amplitude levels of transmit beacons received by the card. Drops in signal strength indicate poor
signal coverage, and can be referenced against the spectrum data views (Waterfall and Density) to determine if interference is
at fault.

The Channel Table grades each Wi-Fi channel based on the RF activity within its given time span. This table is primarily used
in pre-deployment of new wireless devices because it considers all RF noise occurring within Wi-Fi channels whether it is
Wi-Fi or non-Wi-Fi. The Channel Grade is a weight for each freq/amp point based on how close it is to the center of the
channel and its amplitude. The utilization is a relative score to help determine if a channel is usable or not. It measures how
much RF activity is affecting the channel. It is weighted so that signals near the center of the channel have a greater effect on
the utilization score. The average is a measurement of the average power within the channel frequency range. The max value
is the highest amplitude point captured within the Wi-Fi channel frequency range.
