The
Utilization
graph in the top pane shows the channel utilization for all channels in the selected band. Touching a bar within the
graph highlights the bar for that channel (the blue bar will turn green) and the “BSSID List” changes to the Channel Summary which
includes values associated with that particular channel.
The
Noise
graph in the bottom pane displays the noise per channel.
Touching the band toggle switch in the upper left of the graph toggles between 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band views.
As in the BSSID view, the BSSID List view in the right pane provides a listing of all detected BSSIDs along with their channel
setting, current signal strength, and MAC address. To change the order of the list, tap

to sort by channel,
ABC
to sort by name,
or
dBm
to sort by signal strength.
Touching a specific BSSID from the BSSID list configures the Utilization bar graph to the channel associated with that particular
BSSID and the “BSSID List” changes to the Channel Details view in the right hand pane. Touching a specific bar in the Utilization
graph changes the
BSSID List
view to
Channel Details
for that particular channel. The details include the channel score, the
channel utilization, noise, the BSSIDs resident in the channel, and the BSSIDs that are overlapping (adjacent to) that channel.
Touching
Best Channels
in the top right area of the Utilization graph displays a table that identifies the current top 3 best channels
based on channel width for the band being viewed. Touching anywhere on the screen closes the table.
