General RF Spectrum Analysis · Wireless Toolbox diagnostic

Watch what matters.Catch what changes.

Signal Watchdog monitors a defined list of frequencies or bands and reports whether each is clear or occupied—now and across recent history—without requiring someone to stare at a full spectrum trace.

A full spectrum is often more information than the job requires.

Reduce a wide sweep to the assignments, links, or bands that must remain healthy.

Signal Watchdog sweeps a defined span, extracts the strongest measurement for each selected row, and compares it with the threshold you establish. The table presents the current amplitude and a rolling clear-or-occupied history for every entry.

Use it for wireless microphones, broadcast channels, repeaters, control links, telemetry, or any known allocation where an unexpected signal—or the disappearance of an expected one—deserves attention.

Diagnostic capabilities

Convert spectrum data into operational status.

The underlying sweep remains visible, but the watch list translates it into the named frequencies and bands that people actually manage.

01

Named assignments

Attach a performer, device, service, or other description to each monitored frequency or band.

02

Immediate threshold state

Amplitude bars show current strength and change color when a row crosses the configured level.

03

Rolling event history

Recent green and red samples reveal whether occupancy is isolated, intermittent, or persistent.

Field workflow

Define the watch list once, then supervise continuously.

Choose the mode

Monitor specific frequencies or the strongest signal anywhere within defined bands.

Set span and threshold

Establish the swept range and the dividing line between clear and occupied.

Label the rows

Build a watch list that reflects the channels, people, or systems being managed.

Read the history

Use current amplitude and the last 100 sweeps to identify changes and their persistence.

General RF Spectrum Analysis

Know when a critical signal appears, disappears, or changes.

Signal Watchdog keeps attention on the frequencies that matter while preserving enough history to understand the event.
