Test History Tab
You can use the Test History tab to display link test results as a line-chart. You
can change the display to include the diagnostic parameters of your choice, and
a user-defined time window. You can set the time window to display the
information of the last minute, last hour or last 24 hours.
For example, if you have an Access Point that shows mysterious performance
problems at regular intervals, you can run the test history mode for 24 hours to:
Determine the exact time the problem occurs in the selected Time window
Analyze what was causing the performance problem without having to
watch the dynamic indicators continuously.
Log Settings Tab

For more information on log files, see "Logging Measurement Data" on
page 5-14.
