below signal strength bar. This indicator stays at the
position of the strongest packet signal until the mea-
surement is changed or restarted.
To view the current dBm value during either the bar
graph or line graph measurement in LARGE Characters,
press the enter key during the measurement. To return
to the graph screen, press the enter key again.
2.4 GHZ LINE GRAPH
This screen displays any 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g & 802.11
FHSS) access point's output in dBm (vertical) graphing
power over time (hrozontal) in milliseconds (scrolling
from left to right). As with the bar graph when selected,
the line graph will run until changed or the unit is shut
off. If the unit is shut off while displaying a line graph
measurement, the line graph measurement will resume
when the unit is next turned on. The line graph mea-
surement (as the bar graph measurement) continually
monitors the RF input and displays this input when a
packet is detected that is greater then the threshold, in
this screen the threshold is displayed as a dotted line.
To adjust this threshold, press the UP and DOWN keys
while the measurement is displayed. The current RF
power measured during the line graph measurement is
displayed in text in the lower left corner of the display.
As in the Bar graph, this value is always updated, even
if a packet is not detected. For both the bar and line
graph measurements, if the total power displayed in
the lower left corner is changing but no bar or line is
displayed, reduce the packet detect threshold by press-
ing the DOWN key.
5 GHZ BAR GRAPH
This screen displays any 5 GHz access point's output
in dBm using a horizontal graphical bar. When a bar
graph measurement is started, it will run until the
measurement is changed or the unit is turned off. The
last measurement selected is restored when the unit is
turned back on. The bar graph measurement continu-
ally monitors the RF input connected to unit. When a
