Scanning RF spectrum

You can use an RF scan to examine the current frequency situation of your connected antenna.

You can scan the frequency environment of all antennas connected to the Base Station.

Make sure that no antenna is activated! If the scan is started with an active antenna, the RF channel is automatically muted until the scan is completed.

Before activating the connected antenna, you can check the occupancy of the frequency spectrum and examine the surroundings for possible frequency interference.

To start the RF Scan:

From your production card dashboard, click START SCAN on the right side of the top bar.
The connected antenna scans the environment and displays a live graphic within the configured RF channel.

You can zoom into the spectrum by pressing CMD and using the scroll function of your mouse. If the scan is started with an active antenna, the RF channel is automatically muted until the scan is completed.

To start the RF scan for another antenna:

In the main window of the RF SCAN click on + to select your antenna and then on START SCAN.

The RF spectrum of your connected antennas has been scanned.
