6. The spectrum analyzer controls are quite simple:
• The “Scan Now” button initiates a spectrum scan.
• The Automatic Scan Interval dropdown allows you to select the time between
scans. Note that more samples per point and finer frequency resolution will
take longer, up to 2 seconds for a step size of one and 256 samples per point.
• The Samples Per Point dropdown controls how many measurements are taken
at each frequency and averaged together.
• The Frequency Step Size dropdown controls the frequency resolution of the
scan. A step size of one provides about 100 samples across the range, with
about 1 MHz per step (actually 1.0417 MHz).
7. The graph shows both peak and average dBm readings. Optionally, you can dis-
play markers on the graph corresponding to the 29 channels that AvaLAN radios
employ in the 2.4 GHz band. If you wish to make a hard copy of the graph, you can
use your browser printing capability or any of a number of screen capture methods.
