Coexistence View - Spectrum
Sodera has the option to sample the 2.4 GHz RF spectrum at the Sodera unit antenna connector. The spectrum data represents the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). The spectrum data is synchronized in time to the captured Bluetooth packets and is displayed in the Coexistence View 2.4 GHz Timeline. The spectrum power level is shown as a "heat map" behind the timeline packets. The "heat map" appears in shades of blue with darker blues representing higher power levels and lighter blues representing lower power levels (white represents the lowest power level). The darkest shade of blue represents -15dBm and above, while white represents -100 dBm and below.

The Spectrum heat map view is controlled from the Spectrum menu. If spectrum data is available, the spectrum heat map is shown with the packets by default. To hide the spectrum data heat map, uncheck the Show Spectrum option.
When displaying the heat map, the user can control how the packets are displayed. The following table describes the options for packet display. These options are mutually exclusive and they are available only when Show Spectrum is checked.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Show Packets | Displays each packet. Tooltips, packet text, and selection boxes are available as usual. |
Show Packet Outlines | Displays an outline of each packet. In this mode the spectrum data comprising each packet is clearly visible and indicated. Tooltips, packet text, and selection boxes are available as usual. |
Hide Packets and Outlines | Packets and packet outlines are not displayed. Tooltips, packet text, and selection boxes are available as usual. |
