Saving Recorded Capture Data
This feature allows the user to save to a .amt file the live data they have recorded. To save
recorded data, the user must stop recording data or let the application automatically stop
recording once the Max Live Capture Streaming File Size [MB] is reached. The data saved in
a. amt file can then be played back in the application for analysis.
Replaying Saved Capture Data
This feature allows the user to replay recorded data that has been saved in a .amt file. Once the
file is opened, it will automatically replay, allowing the user to revisit the RF data captured in
the file.
Remote XT Connection
The Remote XT Connection option enables the user to view remote, real-time data in their
local Spectrum UI. It does this by connecting to a remote machine running an AirMagnet
Spectrum Analyzer card.
To enable the Remote XT Connection option:
First, on the remote machine, establish a security password.
1) From the Toolbar, choose File>Remote XT Connection>Remote Access Authentication.
2) Type in a password. The password allows only numerical and special characters up to 16
characters in length.
3) Click OK.
Second, on the local machine, establish a connection to the remote machine.
1) From the Toolbar, choose File> Remote XT Connection>Connect to Remote Host.
2) Configure the IP address and port for the remote machine.
3) Type the security password previously created on the remote machine.
4) Click Connect.
