Coexistence 2.4 GHz View - Spectrum
Analyzer hardware has the option to sample the 2.4 GHz RF Spectrum at the unit's antenna connector. The Spectrum data represents the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Spectrum data is synchronized in time to the captured Bluetooth packets and is displayed in the Coexistence View 2.4 GHz Timeline. The Spectrum power level is shown as a "heat map" behind the timeline packets. The "heat map" appears in shades of blue with darker blues representing higher power levels and lighter blues representing lower power levels (white represents the lowest power level). The darkest shade of blue represents -15dBm and above, while white represents -100 dBm and below.
The Spectrum heat map view is controlled from the Spectrum menu in the Display dropdown menu. If Spectrum data is available, the Spectrum heat map is shown with the packets by default. To hide the Spectrum data heat map, uncheck the Show Spectrum option.
When displaying the heat map, the user can control how the packets are displayed. The following table describes the options for packet display. These options are mutually exclusive and they are available only when Show Spectrum is checked.

Coexistence 5/6 GHz View
The Coexistence 5/6 GHz functionality has its own dedicated view, accessible by clicking its tab above the Status Bar at the bottom of the Main Window (it was previously a tab within the Coexistence View group).
This view displays Wi-Fi 5 GHz and spectrum for U-NII bands 1 through 5. It largely resembles the Coexistence 2.4 GHz View, maintaining the same packet rendering style, consistent navigation, and the available Display and Optimization options:
Major Features:
-
The view is able to render spectrum taken from 7 U-NII bands, spanning 1276 frequency channels. Vertical scrolling is supported for this purpose.
-
The user may select which bands to display either by using the Band menu or by enabling the corresponding switch on the view’s toolbar:
