Point Marking by Keyboard
Shortcut Key Description
Enter Mark a test point, same as a click on the mouse.
Note: It is recommended that you adjust the path direction by touching the screen of a
tablet or pressing the Enter key of a laptop, instead of using a mouse.

Site Survey Recommendations
Recommendations for a site survey:
Recommendation Description
0.8 m/s to 1.2 m/s. If you walk too fast, the heat map will be inaccurate
Walking pace and transilience may occur. If you walk too slowly, too much data will be
collected, and therefore it will take a long time to calculate the heat map.
Site survey data can be saved only when there are at least three points on

Associate with the WLAN Planner
The WLAN Tester can work with the WLAN Planner. After completing channel adjustment on the
WLAN Planner, you can import a network planning project to the WLAN Tester, which facilitates
subsequent project verification. Perform four steps to import a network planning project.
1 Choose File > Import Planner Project. 2 Select a network planning project and site
map, and import the project.
3 Click Planner on the navigation bar. 4 Click the Generate Simulation button on
the toolbar. You can view the simulation
result on the Display page.

Export, Import, or Merge Paths
Export Paths
• You can export multiple paths at one time.
Import Paths
• You can only import one path package at one time.
• A path can only be imported into a node whose drawing is no smaller than the
drawing where the path is originally located.
• You cannot import paths of an indoor node to an outdoor node or import paths
of an outdoor node to an indoor node.
Merge Paths
• As for nodes on the same drawing, you can merge their paths tested by different
persons or at different times.
• You can merge two or more paths.
• There may be paths that fail to be calculated. After merging, these paths will be
automatically deleted.

Browse the Heat Map in Split-Screen
Mode
In split-screen mode, you can
perform the following operations:
Select two different types of
heat maps to display on top
and bottom screens
respectively.
Filter signals on top and
bottom screens respectively.
Set different color schemes for
top and bottom screens.
Zoom out or in the top and
bottom screens respectively.
Click to cancel screen split.
