General RF Spectrum Analysis · Wireless Toolbox diagnostic

Sweep wide.Resolve the signal.

Touchstone-Pro turns an attached RF Explorer or RTL-SDR into a browser-operated spectrum analyzer for finding transmitters, exposing intermittent interference, and studying RF activity over time.

Included with Wireless ToolboxLaunch the edition for the connected receiver. RF Explorer provides calibrated measurements; RTL-SDR offers economical relative-level analysis.

The general-purpose RF view

See more than what is transmitting right now.

A live trace shows the present. Persistence and history reveal the behavior.

Touchstone-Pro continuously sweeps a selected frequency range and aligns a settled spectrum trace with a scrolling waterfall. Max hold, density, threshold, markers, and peak detection expose different aspects of the same RF environment.

Adjust the span for a broad survey or a close inspection. With RF Explorer, retune-and-stitch scanning can cover wider ranges while high-resolution mode targets approximately 25 kHz spacing for detailed wireless-audio work.

Diagnostic capabilities

Multiple ways to interrogate the same spectrum.

Each view answers a different question—from “what is strongest?” to “what only appears occasionally?” and “which frequencies remain clear?”

01

Trace and max hold

Compare the current settled spectrum with the strongest level observed at every frequency.

02

Waterfall and density

Read RF activity across time or as a persistence map that highlights recurring energy.

03

Threshold and peaks

Separate occupied from clear spectrum and automatically call attention to significant signals.

Field workflow

Survey broadly, then narrow the question.

Connect a receiver

Use RF Explorer for calibrated amplitudes or RTL-SDR for economical relative measurements.

Define the span

Set start and stop frequencies appropriate to the device, band, or interference under study.

Select the view

Apply max hold, density, threshold, SNR, or peak detection to emphasize the behavior that matters.

Mark or export

Place frequency markers and export a completed trace for reporting or further analysis.
