Managing Live Data Capture
By default, AirMagnet Spectrum XT is able to capture live spectrum and WiFi data and
display them on the screen in real time. To enable the user to conduct focus analysis of any
specific segment of data flow that has been captured, the application offers a number of tools
on the toolbar that the user can use to suspend, resume, stop, and restart live capture as
needed.
Pausing and Resuming Live Capture
Pausing live capture allows the user to suspend the dynamic display of live data on the
screen; it does not stop the application from capturing live data at all. In other words, the
application still keeps capturing live data and storing them in the memory after the user has
clicked the Pause Live Capture button.
To suspend the display of live data capture on the screen:
1) From the toolbar, click (Pause Live Capture).
To resume the display of live data capture on the screen:
1) Click (Resume Live Capture).
Instantly Playing Back Captured Data
AirMagnet XT allows users to replay captured data that has recently been displayed on the
screen so that they can revisit the data for a closer look.
