Active Devices Table
This table lets you view, sort, and search for data about the devices that are sending signals on the specified radio
band or channel. The Active Devices table for a spectrum monitor displays data for all channels on the selected band.
The Active Devices table for a hybrid monitor displays data for the single monitored channel only. Click any of the
column headings to sort the information in the table by that column criteria. Make a column wider or narrower by
clicking the border of a column heading and dragging the border to a new position.

You can save the data in the Active Devices table for later analysis by exporting it as data file in .csv format, which
can be viewed by spreadsheet and database management applications like Microsoft Excel. To export this table, click
the down arrow in the upper right corner of this chart and select Export. A window opens and lets you browse to the
location to which you want to save the file. Once you have identified the location where you want to save the file,
click Save.
You can also filter table entries by signal strength, duty cycle, discovery time, activity duration, channels affected and
device ID number by clicking the icon below any column heading and specifying the values or value ranges that
should appear in the table. Table 206 describes each of the columns in the table and the filters that can be applied
to the table output.
