RF Explorer Pro Spectrum Analyzer

The main screen includes standard spectrum analyzer graph with captured data from RF Explorer device and the right-side menu with all options to use the application easily.

The data screen is a high speed data representation of Spectrum Analyzer Frequency vs Amplitude.

The X axis represents frequency in MHZ and Y axis display actual received power in dBm, dBuV or Watt (selectable).

You can use two finger gestures to zoom and pan frequency or amplitude.

• Zoom in/out - change Frequency Span: Apply two finger gesture towards the horizontal axis to increase or decrease span.
• Amplitude pan: Move two fingers up or down to pan amplitude
• Frequency pan: Move two fingers left or right to pan frequency 

Visualization of historical sweeps incorporated below the main Spectrum Analyzer chart.

Combining the waterfall view with the main graph provides a broader understanding of both instantaneous and historical frequency behaviors, improving overall analysis accuracy.

Save Screen…: Saves the current device screen as an image file.

Full Screen Switch: Toggles between the normal view and a full-screen display, providing a clearer view of the spectrum when necessary.

Max Hold ON/OFF: Activates or deactivates the Max Hold mode, which shows the maximum values of all captured samples instead of real-time activity.

Monochromatic ON/OFF: Enables or disables the monochromatic mode, displaying spectrum data using a single color (blue) with varying intensities.

Amplitude Relative/Absolute ON/OFF: Switches between relative and absolute amplitude modes:

Relative: Displays signal intensity using a color gradient relative to the analyzer's dynamic range.

Absolute: Maps colors directly to specific amplitude values.

Set Size…: Adjusts the size of the Waterfall 2D view to occupy 30%, 50%, or 70% of the screen.

The navigation bar provides full control to review any past sweep event and also replay sweeps at original captured speed.

This can be used with recently captured data or stored data files.

• [<<]: Go back multiple sweeps (about 10%)
• [ < ]: Go back to previous sweep
• Navigation bar: Point and move to desired sweep. While the scrollbar actuator is being moved, sweep captured date will be updated in real time but spectrum analyzer screen will be updated after releasing the bar.
• [ > ]: Go forward one sweep
• [>>]: Go forward multiple sweeps (about 10%)
• [Play]: Replay captured activity using original captured speed
• [ || ]: Pause spectrum analyzer activity on screen, but the RF Explorer device continues capturing and storing data
• [ Hold ]: Fully stop spectrum analyzer activity and data capture. This is the only valid state when using data from file
• [ Live ]: Restore spectrum analyzer activity and data capture

Some parameters can be easily configured by screen touch with yellow areas in depicted graph.
