The MobileCollect RF Channel Sniffer allows you to determine the amount of communications occurring on each of the 2.4 GHz RF channels that can be used by MobileCollect. MobileCollect RF Sniffer takes 500 measurements on a channel and determines for each measurement if there was any RF activity. After the measurements are taken on a channel, the Sniffer moves to the next channel and repeats the process. It takes approximately .096 seconds (96 msec) to capture the 500 measurements on a channel. The total time to scan all 16 channels is about 1.6 seconds. The table that is displayed will guide the decision when chossing the ideal channel to run a MobileCollect System. With legacy MobileCollect you can choose between Channel 11 at 2.405 GHz and Channel 26 at 2.480 GHz and for MobileCollect EVO you can choose between Channel 11 at 2.405 GHz and Channel 25 at 2.475 GHz.
