The data is stored in a compact proprietary binary format. The
Wolf will store data as it received from the hardware, depend-
ing on the currently active screen. If the spectrum screen is
currently active, spectrum data will be stored. If the access
point screen is currently active, access point information will
be stored.

To save the collected data, press the “stop” button icon. To
view the size of the log file while still logging, simply return
to the main menu screen.

WARNING! : Make sure that the “stop” button is pressed to
avoid the loss of data saved.

Snapshots

When the camera icon is pressed from the toolbar at the
bottom of the screen, a snapshot of the currently viewable
display is taken. The snapshot can be saved as a JPEG format
picture (just like a digital camera) for viewing at a later time
or for importing into documents and reports. As an example,
the images of the Wolf screens shown in this section of the
manual were saved using this option.

Data Conversion (using Chameleon (Wolf Edition))

Data that has been logged by the Wolf is stored in a proprietary
binary format. It can be transferred to a PC or laptop. Once on
the PC or laptop, the Chameleon utility application can be
used to convert the binary data into an ASCII-readable format
that can be imported into spreadsheet applications such as MS
Excel or other applications that accept ASCII-delimited data.
