VisiWave Blog

A maintenance release of VisiWave (v6.0.1 ) is now available for download. If you already own v6.0 of VisiWave, just download the eval version and install it over-top of your current version. Your existing license will continue to work. If you would like to evaluate VisiWave, just download the eval version and try it out.

New features in v6.0.1:

• Added Support for Channel Bonding in Predictive Surveys
  
  When doing a simulation, you can now set a radio's channel
  width in addition to just its frequency in the 5GHz band.
  You do this by right-clicking on a radio and selecting Edit
  Radio. This allows you to simulate the effects of channel
  bonding. For example, you can select channel 36 and say that
  it is a 40MHz channel to bond channels 36 and 40 together.
  
  
• Issue Fixed with Exporting Simulation Data to CSV
  
  VisiWave was exporting only half the simulated signal values
  to the CSV file. Every other value in the X direction was
  skipped. Now all the values are exported.
  
  
• Performance Improvements When Selecting Radios in Predictive Mode
  
  There were a few cases where updating the heatmap in Predictive
  mode took much longer than needed.
  
  
• Allow Merging of Survey Files When Floor Plan Sizes are
  Slightly Different
  
  Due to some rounding issues, some survey files couldn't be
  merged even though they used the same floor plan image and
  scale.
  
  
• Half Power Beamwidth Antenna Types Are More Effective
  
  For Predictive Surveys, the effect of the horizontal and
  vertical rotations for half power beamwidth antennas wasn't
  strong enough. And the rotations didn't match the
  documentation. These issues have been fixed.
