Detecting Interferers
33
Device Type: Shows the type of interfering device
detected by AirCheck G2.
Figure 17. Interferer Events List Screen
Power: The most recently observed power output in
dBm of the interfering device.
Util: The percentage of time, during the most recent
sample, for which the interferer was detected.
Band: The band on which the AirCheck G2 detects the
interfering device.
This is also a variable field
, which changes based on the
Sort option currently applied. For example, if the list is
sorted by Channels Impacted, the range of channels
affected by the interferer appears in this space on the
screen, instead of the Band.
For Interferer Events, this space can also show the Peak
(Power), Channels Impacted, Number of Channels
Impacted, or time since the interferer was Last Seen.
Filter Button: Tap here to filter for specific interferer
characteristics, such as device type, channels impacted,
or minimum average power.
NOTE: You can set onl
y one filter at a time. Once a filter is
set, the Interferer Events screen re-opens. The title of
the screen changes to “Interferer Events (X of Y)”, such
that
X = the number of interferers filtered, and
Y = the total number of interferers discovered.
This icon appears to the right of the active filter. Tap
the icon to remove the filter.
