10.12 Wireless Spectrum Capture
In addition to spectral display of captured Bluetooth and Low Energy packets, the Instant
Spectrum view can also display raw RF energy present within the Bluetooth spectrum.
Spectrum energy is typically seen from Wi-Fi sources, but can also be generated by various
other wireless technologies or commercial equipment.
Wireless Spectrum information is presented in the Instant Spectrum view as blue energy
indicators, interspersed with any captured Bluetooth or Low Energy packets. The RSSI of this
energy is indicated with a fly-over.
A color gradient is used to indicate the relative strength of captured RF. Darker blue energy
indications indicate stronger RSSI, whereas lighter blue indications indicate weaker RSSI. A
mouse-over on any RF event will display the precise RSSI.
