Device Placement on the Layout Model

7.2.10 Calibration View

This view displays a predefined set of points where you need to collect signal strength. These predefined set of points are called system generated points and the placement of these points depends on various factors like location of floor objects, their material type, and so on. This view helps you fine tune the current predictions closer to real life values. For this, Planner needs to collect signal strength values at various places.

Note: Calibration View is not available for outdoor planning.

To take readings, move to a location on the floor and double‐click the location point. Planner will automatically collect the signal strength and average it over a period for stable readings. You can also take readings at any location by right‐clicking that point and selecting <Take Reading>.
