Waterfall Navigation
Waterfall Navigation displays all data in the current
Wi-Spy session with visual indicators to show the
section of time detailed in the Overview and Details
displays.
To jump to a specific position within the session,
double-click the point within the waterfall.
User can then click-and-drag the head and tail of the
highlighted region to easily adjust the timespan in the
Waterfall Navigation. This functionality allows users
to quickly drill-down to specific points in time.
Overview Pane
Chanalyzer's Overview pane (top-right of Navigation pane) contains Waterfall and Density views and provides
a detailed overview of the selected Timespan.
Density View
The Density View displays how often a signal is
detected at a specific amplitude. The graph shows
signal amplitude over frequency. The main benefit of
the Density View is that after a short time of gathering
data, patterns begin to emerge. For example, in the
figure above the two curved patterns represent a
modulation type of 802.11 networks. This view
enables you to quickly identify signals that may be
interfering with your network. To see more specific
information about a point on the graph, use the
Inspector tool.
Color by Utilization
This emphasizes how constant noise is. At any given
point Chanalyzer assigns a color based on how much
of the energy is above that point. If 50% of all the
activity is above an amplitude point, Chanalyzer colors
it red. This is especially useful in understanding how
constant interference is in a given range of time.
