Chanalyzer Lite v2.0

Chanalyzer Lite turns data collected from a Wi-Spy into highly interactive charts and graphs, allowing users to "visualize" their wireless landscape. Just plug in Wi-Spy to scan the airwaves for RF activity, and Chanalyzer Lite merges the Wi-Spy data with Wi-Fi information collected from your laptop's Wi-Fi card to create easy-to-read graphs showing activity from Wi-Fi, cordless phones, microwave ovens and any other RF transmitters in your area.

This gives you a clear picture of which channels are noisy and which ones clear so you can make an informed decision on channel placement and get the most out of your wireless network. Chanalyzer Lite is also very useful for tracking down rogue or interfering devices so you can move or eliminate them.

What's unique about Chanalyzer Lite?

  • 3D viewing to locate any device in the 2.4GHz band.
  • Channel usage chart for Wi-Fi channel analysis

For more information, please see this page

System Requirements

  • Windows XP SP3, Vista or Windows 7 with .Net 3.5
  • USB 1.1 or 2.0
  • Windows Zero Config (WZC) compatible Wireless NIC for Wi-Fi features

Together, Wi-Spy DBx / 2.4x and Chanalyzer 3.4 enable both business and home users to visualize, troubleshoot, and optimize their Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) networks.

With Chanalyzer 3.4 you don't need to waste your time watching real-time RF activity to troubleshoot. Chanalyzer records the data for quick viewing and analysis. You can then use Chanalyzer recordings to visually explain to your customers how you will optimize their wireless network. Troubleshoot your wireless networks without leaving your desk. Just install our new Recon application, which is a simple Wi-Spy 2.4x data server and then connect to it remotely from anywhere with Chanalyzer 3.3.

Chanalyzer v2.0

Same features as the Chanalyzer v2.1, however it is only compatible with the original Wi-Spy hardware. It will not work with the newer Wi-Spy 2.4x. The reason it is kept up because it presents a better looking plot for the original hardware, although it lacks certain software features compared to Chanalyzer v2.1.

Wi-Spy v1.2

Wi-Spy 1.0 started with the typical spectrum analyzer view (a.k.a Planar View) showing the max hold, average, and current traces. It allowed creating and playing back recordings. Wi-Spy 1.2 added a Spectral View with a button to toggle between Planar and Spectral Views. The Spectral View could change time frames, but cleared itself each time the time frame was changed.

Third-party applications

We created an amazing spectrum analyzer when we invented Wi-Spy — and then we crafted world-class software to make it easy to use, right out of the box. But we can't be everything to everyone... so we left the platform open to encourage innovation.

Below are a few of the great applications that resulted:

  • Spectrum Tools — Mike Kershaw, author of Kismet, has developed an open source version of the Wi-Spy software that runs on Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X. This application has most of the features of the original Wi-Spy software for Windows. This software is open source and uses the GTK library.
  • EaKiu — David Cook from Cookware, Inc. has written a very nifty Mac OS X application for Wi-Spy that uses OpenGL to provide interactive 3-D displays as well as the standard spectrum analyzer and spectrogram views.
  • VisiWave — VisiWave Site Survey is an advanced site survey tool that provides data collection and visualization capabilities not found in any other existing product. The VisiWave Site Survey product takes advantage of advanced location tracking technology and combines that with high powered data visualization and reporting capabilities to create a complete wireless LAN site surveying solution.
  • iSite — iSite accelerates WLAN survey and design while simplifying network management. It was created for IT professionals challenged by complex WLAN deployments. Requiring minimal knowledge of Radio Frequency (RF) engineering, iSite implements an easy to use windows user interface and supports most WLAN adaptors.
