For those of us that are a little green... an optimizer mode for settings would be nice.
Goal... recommend the best dBm and SF settings to the end-user based on running through each setting combination and comparing the results.
Channels EU868, US915, AU915, maybe others (I'm US915 so examples will be as such)
Power: dBm +22 to +02 (11 options)
Spread: SF 07 to 10 (4 options)
Modes to test: 44
Results to compare in order to offer best recommended testing mode settings.
Receive Strength: Rx Rssi 0 to -160
Receive Noise: Rx Snr 30 to -30
Retry 0 to 8
Transmit Strength: Tx Rssi 0 to -160
Hotspots: 0 to 20 count
Distance: 0 to 70 km
Some rating or scoring combination of the above to then recommend a best testing setting combo... i.e. +16 dBm and SF 09
Or maybe a "Help Page" after the "Discovery Mode" that explains what each setting and result means... or maybe both.
dBm = Power decibel per milliwatt
SF = Spreading Factor the speed at which a signal's frequency changes across a channel's bandwidth.
RSSI = Transmit/Receive the received signal power in milliwatts and is measured in dBm.
SNR = Signal-to-Noise Ratio the ratio between the received signal strength and the signal strength of the background noise and interference. (Close to 0 is best)
Retry = Tries again after each failure.
Hotspots = Number of hotspots seen by the tester based on the applied settings.
Distance = Distance of hotspots seen from the tester based on the applied settings.
GPS = Current GPS values
Disco = Discovery Mode a map of discovered hotspots based on static setting (?)
Sorry if I got most of that wrong, I do enjoy the Wio Field Tester.
Thank you for your time and assistance
