Status Bar
Located at the bottom of the screen, the Status Bar provides real-time status of the data acquisition and RF
link operation. This information includes:
RF Link Status: The bar graph shows an approximate measure of the signal strength from the
Transmitter. The bar shrinks when the received signal is getting weaker and there is greater chance for
losing data. The percentage displays the current percent of received packets from the transmitter.
When the percent of received packets is 100%, the percentage displayed is highlighted in green. When
this number drops below 100%, the percentage displayed appears highlighted in yellow. If this number
drops below 50% it is highlighted in red. This occurs because RF transmission is being impeded.
When this happens, move the Transmitter closer to the Receiver or remove the number of obstacles
between the Transmitter and Receiver.
COM Port: Displays the current serial port setting for communicating with the Receiver.
Output File Size: Displays the size of the
current output file, when recording data to
a file.
Playback Speed/Timescale/Sample
Rate: Displays the speed of playback for a
file, timescale (viewing width), and the
sample rate of the Transmitter.
Setting Capture Options
Before capturing data with Capture, you must
configure the hardware.
