Edit the report block details to change the title.
Give the block a title to relate it to the microwave
oven like “Microwave Oven Interference.” The
Channels Table is used to compare a Timespan
when the microwave oven was not running. Point
out the channels with an increased Utilization or
lower grade.
Navigating the Waterfall View
Like a seismometer measures vibrations of the earth, the Waterfall View in Chanalyzer Pro does the same
thing for your RF environment. It uses colors to show when the RF environment changed, to what scale, and
for how long.
Compare the Microwave Activity
Be sure the Waterfall navigation pane is visible by
toggling it on (Ctrl + P). Click-and-drag our previously
highlighted timespan up the waterfall by two minutes.
When you do this, be sure there is no microwave
activity in the new Timespan (we want to compare
non-microwave activity to when the microwave was
running).
Notice as you drag to a new timespan that all views in
other panels are updated too. This is MetaGeek's
Unified Time Segment in action.
The mountain in the Density View created by the
microwave oven should fade to possibly reveal a curve
or two created by neighboring 802.11 wireless
networks.
Selecting a Timespan where the WLAN worked well is
important to determine the impacts of interference. We
will compare this new timespan to the Density View
and Channels Tables of our microwave interference.
