Main View

Device

Displays the device name, MAC (Media Access

Control) address, and IP address of the device running
airView.

Total RF Frames

Displays the total number of Radio

Frequency (RF) frames gathered since the start of the
airView session or since the

Reset All Data

button was last

clicked.

FPS

Displays the total number of frames per second (FPS)

gathered since the start of the airView session or since
the

Reset All Data

button was last clicked. The wider the

interval amplitude, the fewer the FPS will be gathered.

Reset All Data

Click to reset all gathered data. Use this

option to analyze the spectrum for another location or
address.

File Menu

Click

Exit

to end the airView session.

View Menu

Enable Chart Panel 1 (top)

Displays the Waterfall or

Channel Usage chart in Chart Panel 1, depending on
which option you have selected in

Preferences

. This

time‑based graph shows the aggregate energy collected
or channel usage for each frequency since the start of the
airView session.

Enable Chart Panel 2 (middle)

Displays the Waveform

chart in Chart Panel 2. This time‑based graph shows the RF
signature of the noise environment since the start of the
airView session. The energy color designates its amplitude.
Cooler colors represent lower energy levels (with blue
representing the lowest levels) in that frequency bin, and
warmer colors (yellow, orange, or red) represent higher
energy levels in that frequency bin.

Enable Chart Panel 3 (bottom)

Displays the Real‑time

chart (traditional spectrum analyzer) in Chart Panel 3.
Energy (in dBm) is shown in real time as a function of
frequency.

Note:

Energy is the power ratio in decibels (dB) of the

measured power referenced to one milliwatt (mW).

Clear All Markers

Resets all previously assigned

markers. Markers are assigned by clicking a point, which
corresponds with a frequency on the Real‑time chart.

Preferences

Changes airView settings, such as enabling

or disabling charts and traces, or specifying the frequency
interval.

Preferences

Select

View

Preferences

to display the

Preferences -

airView Spectrum Analyzer

window.

Charts

Enable top chart

Check the box to enable the top chart.

Select the desired chart to display in the top chart panel
on the main view. There are two options:
•

Waterfall

This time‑based graph shows the aggregate

energy collected for each frequency since the start
of the airView session. The energy color designates
its amplitude. Cooler colors represent lower energy
levels (with blue representing the lowest levels)
in that frequency bin, and warmer colors (yellow,
orange, or red) represent higher energy levels in that

frequency bin.

The Waterfall View’s legend (top‑right corner) provides
a numerical guide associating the various colors to
power levels (in dBm). The low end of that legend (left)
is always adjusted to the calculated noise floor, and the
high end (right) is set to the highest detected power
level since the start of the airView session.
