or surveying the coverage areas on the floor. You can quickly measure
signal strengths for any location on the floor.
To use the RF interactive measurement mode

measurements for the selected location appear next to the Floor View.
See “Reading the RF Measurement Table” for information about the

Measurement Table
The projected signal strengths for the planned equipment from that
measurement point are shown in the RF measurement table.
X-Y coordinates for the measurement point and display options are also
available to customize the RSSI table. Using this interactive mode can be
valuable when verifying deployment coverage with a portable WLAN
measurement tool on the floor.
