Playing a Spectrum Analysis Recording
There are two ways to play back a spectrum recording. You can use the playback feature in the spectrum
dashboard, or view recordings using the Dell Networking W-RFPlayback tool downloaded from the Dell
website.
Playing a Recording in the Spectrum Dashboard
The spectrum monitor does not have to be subscribed to your spectrum analysis client in order to play back a
recording in the spectrum dashboard. However, you cannot play back an existing recording in the spectrum
dashboard while another recording session is currently in progress.
To play a spectrum analysis recording in the spectrum dashboard:
1. Navigate to Monitoring > Spectrum Analysis > Spectrum Dashboards window.
2. Click the Recording View/Play link at the top of the window.
3. Click Load File For Playback.
4. An Open dialog box appears and prompts you to browse to and select the file you want to open.
5. Click Open.
6. Click the triangular play icon at the top of the window to start playing back the recording.
Recorded data for the selected spectrum monitor and dashboard view appears in the spectrum analysis
dashboard. You can replace any of the graphs in the playback window with a different graph type while
replaying the recording. A playback progress bar at the top of the window shows what part of the recording
currently appears on the dashboard. If you pause the recording, you can click and drag the red slider on this
progress bar to advance to or replay any part of the current record.
