A new maintenance release of VisiWave Site Survey is now available. It's called a maintenance release, but it's main purpose is to add a new feature: support for the Wi-Spy DBx device. The Wi-Spy DBx is essentially the same as the existing Wi-Spy devices, but it adds support for the 5GHz 802.11a frequency band.
Using the DBx device, VisiWave can now create graphs and reports on the 5GHz band as well. Use VisiWave to simultaneously collect 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum information.
Features and bug fixes since the release of v2.0:
- Wi-Spy DBx Support Added
VisiWave has added support for the recently released
Wi-Spy DBx spectrum analyzer. This dual-band device
supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency ranges. Now
you can analyze RF interference locations for the
802.11a/n spectrum just like the 802.11b/g spectrum
that VisiWave has long supported.
(Added in v2.0.2)
- Relocate Survey Map Issue
If you relocated the survey map but didn't press the
stop button before closing VisiWave, the program was
crashing. This now works as expected.
(Fixed in v2.0.2)
- GPS Using Serial Ports Fix
Using a GPS attached via a serial comm port would
sometimes stop collecting data after a short period of
time. This depended on how the satellite signal
quality changed.
(Fixed in v2.0.1)
