Recording Spectrum Analysis Data
The spectrum analysis tool allows you to record up to 60 continuous minutes (or up to 10 Mb) of spectrum analysis
data. By default, each spectrum analysis recording displays data for the Real-Time FFT, FFT Duty Cycle,
Interference Power and Swept Spectrogram charts, however, you can view recorded device data for any the spectrum
analysis charts supported by that spectrum monitor radio. Configurable recording settings allow you to start a
recording session immediately, or schedule a recording to begin at a later date and time. Each recording can be
scheduled to end after a selected amount of time has passed, or continue on until the recorded data file reaches a
specified size. You can save the file to your spectrum monitor client, then play back that data at a later time.

1. Navigate to the Monitoring>Spectrum Analysis>Spectrum Dashboards window.
2. Click the Record button at the top of the window. The New Recording popup window appears.

the recording, click the date and time drop-down lists to select a starting month, day, year and time.
5. The recording continues until either the specified amount of time has passed, or until the recording files reaches
a selected size. Click the Length of recording reaches drop down list and select the amount of time the
recording should last, or click the Data file reaches drop down list and select the maximum file size for the
recording.
