7.3 GUI RX Testing

RX testing is used for gathering Wi-Fi statistics in the air within a specified channel in case of external antenna. While using RF connector for accurate RF tests the packets will be accepted by the RF connected path.

Duration: Statistics gathering time can be specified with a fixed duration, or 0 to make the testing time indefinite, until you press the STOP button. Statistics are gathered automatically whenever the RX testing is stopped. However, users may choose to gather the statistics any time before RX testing ends by clicking the Get Statistics button. Table 7-3 lists fields explanations.

Field Description
Valid Valid packets
Addr Mismatch Packets with address mismatch
FCS Error Frame Check Sequence error
Mang frame Average RSSI in management frames
DataCtrl frame Average RSSI in Data Control frames
