Figure 25. Antenna alignment and stats tool
4. The tool consists of:
• A graph that reports average signal strength over the last
30 strength-sampling periods.
• A bar that reports the quality of the signal currently being
detected at the local unit receiver.
5. Do the physical antenna alignment by manually adjusting the
location and direction of the relevant antenna. During the
alignment, use the graph and bar readings to monitor variations
in signal strength.
6. To increase the readability of the average signal strength graph,
click-and-drag the Zoom x slider.
7. When the antenna alignment is complete, click the Close button.
• The antenna alignment and stats tool will be closed.
7.4.4. Spectral analysis
The Spectrum Graph window contains a static graph readout and
controls to detect radio-frequency interference that exists between local
Fluidmesh units transmitting and receiving in a specified frequency band.
The window can be used make the most efficient choice of center
frequency and channel width for radio links between units.
To use the Spectrum Graph window, do the following steps:
1. Click the -spectral analysis link under GENERAL SETTINGS in
the left-hand settings menu.
• The Spectrum Graph window will open in a new web
browser tab (Figure 26 (page 71)).
