9.3.1 Using the Show AP Function
The Show AP ON/OFF toggle function key is available in the Levels Graph and Density Graph views.
When enabling this function, the AP scan graph (
) information is overlaid on the spectrum graph. Information about the
SSIDs detected in the scan function using beacon frames information is displayed on the spectrum. This allows users to compare
WiFi network information (from the Scan function) with spectrum information, which facilitates identifying WiFi vs. non WiFi
interference sources.

9.4 Density Graph
The Density Graph displays the RF signal amplitude and utilization for each of the frequencies under test.
The x-axis displays the WiFi channel number. In the 2.4 GHz frequency band: channels 1 to 13. In the 5 GHz frequency
band: channels 36 to 165. For more information on WiFi channels refer to
Appendix A: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Technology
The y-axis displays the signal’s strength in dBm from -100 dBm to -10 dBm.
