the field. This information will then be carried over when bringing measurement data back to your
design product.
The fundamental idea of access point association is that in order to compare measured values to
predicted values, the software needs to know which virtual transmitter in the drawing produced the
measured values. If a measurement run is associated with a given virtual transmitter in a Summit
WMScanner drawing, then that transmitter is used to calculate simulated values to compare with the
values gathered in the measurement run. Since each receiver has a different access point association
method, refer to the individual receiver documentation for more details on associating access points.
The following examples are from a measurement session recorded through a LAN card.
Summit WMScanner records the IP address, SSID, and MAC address of the access point for each
measurement. This is useful if you happen to roam between access points when taking measurements
since you can associate measurement points within a single measurement run to multiple access points
in the drawing.
NOTE
When you exit the Associate dialog box and the measurement run gets saved in the drawing, it is also saved as an
ASCII logfile in .wvc format in the measured folder of your current project workspace folder.
After you associate the access points to your measurement, the display window shows your survey
annotated by the order in which you took the measurement:
