Time Domain Mode / Spectrum Analyze Mode

At any time, you can opt to graph different parameters for the selected receiver, or to view the data for a different receiver altogether, simply by calling up the Time Domain Configuration dialog again. To determine the actual time of any point in the graph, simply move the cursor to that point and click. A light gray vertical line will appear at that point and the time display in the upper right-hand corner of the screen will show the time (in hours/minutes/seconds) of the selected point.

You can also zoom the display in or out to view specific areas of the data. The simplest method of zoom- ing in is to simply use the mouse to specify the data you want to view: Position the mouse at the start of the area you want to view, click and hold, then drag across the screen to the end of the area you want to view. When you then release the mouse, the specified area will zoom in to fill the entire screen. To restore the screen to its previous condition, simply right-click the mouse.

Alternatively, you can set various screen magnifications by using the Zoom Tools, available only in Time Domain Mode. These allow you to magnify the screen by factors of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, or

100. To return the screen to standard magnification,Zoom Tools simply click on the “x 1” box. You can make the same

changes to screen magnification by opening the Zoom menu, available only in Time Domain Mode.

Spectrum Analyze Mode

The third, and final main mode of operation offered by WSM is Spectrum Analyze Mode. In this mode, WSM uses your connected receivers to scan through all available frequencies and then graphs out the relative RF signal strengths onscreen. This allows you to make the best channel selections, based on actual RF conditions in the performance environment of your wireless system.

To enter Spectrum Analyze Mode, either select it from the Window menu, or click on the Spectrum

Analyze icon in the Tool Bar.

In this mode, a scan and spectrum analysis can be run of all standard UR6D frequencies,

of all “X” UR6DX frequencies, or both sets of frequencies. If all receivers in your wireless

 

system use the same frequencies (that is, if the system contains all UR6D receivers or all

 

UR6DX receivers), WSM will automatically scan

 

only those frequencies. However, if your

 

wireless system contains both UR6D and

 

UR6DX receivers being used simultaneously,

 

you need to let WSM know which frequencies

you want scanned and analyzed. To do so, call

up the Group Select dialog either by opening the

the receiver you wish to use for scanning purposes.
