Adjusting the Test Thresholds
The AirCheck G2 illustrates the status of your network using
red, green, and yellow colors in the following ways:
• Colored bar graphs:
• Pass/ Warning/ Fail ratings
• Other test result fields that turn red, g
reen, or yellow,
for example, in AutoTest results:
Figure 40. AutoTest Air Quality Results Screen
The colored ratings for test results on the AirCheck G2 are
based
on Thresholds. The tester compares measured data
with the configured thresholds to determine whether a result
receives a Pass, Warning, or Fail rating. These ratings are set
by default on the AirCheck G2, but you can adjust them for
your own network testing needs.
