Promiscuous Survey

The promiscuous survey is a good test to monitor the health of a running system. The test listens for packets and displays the received signal strengths of the transmissions.

Note:

Packets are arranged by transmitter location code. So if you have the same address and group assigned to multiple radios, you will not be able to distinguish the transmission's source.

Packet listings for a radio can be collapsed by clicking the icon, and expanded by clicking the icon. Click the Pause button to toggle sampling and the Reset button to clear the display.

You can configure the chart colors with the Chart Colors... option in the file menu.

Note:

Some transmissions (such as the acknowledgement packets used in guaranteed-delivery mode) are generally too short to be captured by the promiscuous survey monitor. The chart may not include an entry for every packet transmitted.
