User guide

Navigation Pane
The Navigation pane provides controls for browsing Wi-Spy / Wi-Fi capture sessions or
recordings. Within the Navigation Pane, you'll find:
Device Selector (Wi-Spy Mode)
Chanalyzer continuously logs data from multiple sources when connected to your computer.
To change which band you’re currently analyzing and recording, select an option from the
Wi-Spy menu.
Session Navigator (Wi-Spy Mode)
Each time a user selects a new frequency range in the Wi-Spy menu, the previous data is
saved as a session in a Wi-Spy Recording. Active sessions are indicated with a red record
icon, meaning there is currently data being added to the session. The session currently being
displayed in Chanalyzer, whether it is active or not, will have a green box around it.
Renaming a Session
Sessions can be renamed to represent various points in a recording. This feature is primarily
used to identify locations however it can also be used to identify smaller frequency ranges.
It’s handy to rename sessions to help you navigate through several surveys.
