SCAN:  Frequency Plotting Tools

Use detailed graphic displays of scan data from Shure wireless receivers and compatible WiNRADiO®* scanners to spot potential RF problems before they have a chance to affect your sound. 

 

Waterfall Plot
Displays a detailed, multicolor graphic representation of your RF environment over time.

 

 

RF History Plot

This useful tool can be used to optimize placement and positioning of antennas and identify dead spots in the performance area by logging and displaying signal strength for each receiver antenna.  Multiple systems can be tracked in the same history plot to monitor larger systems. 

 

 

PLAN:  Frequency Planning and Coordination 
Wireless Workbench's Frequency Compatibility Wizard uses scan data to provide clear frequencies in your current RF environment and coordinates around signals which are already on the air.  It can also take into account manually entered or saved lists of frequencies and TV channels searchable by postal code.  Results can then be saved, printed or imported into other frequency coordinations.  Compatible frequency solutions for UHF-R systems can be assigned directly to networked receivers or used to create custom frequency groups. 

Available Frequency Summary

Printable display of compatible frequencies for a given set of receivers and transmitters.

 

Selectable transmit power for UHF-R systems
Yields more compatible frequencies when low transmit power is used and generates robust compatible frequency sets when higher transmit power is needed.

 

Adjustable Compatibility Level per Channel

Adjust the compatibility level per channel for more flexibility and stable performance.  Select from “More Robust,” “More Frequencies,” or “Standard” modes to prioritize channels or increase frequencies. 

 

 

 

COMMAND:  Complete networked monitoring and control of UHF and UHF-R wireless systems
Wireless Workbench provides fast network setup for large groups of wireless systems, allowing comprehensive control of infrared sync for transmitter set up, and providing immediate alerts for important conditions of online channels such as low battery and low RF level. 

 

RF Channel Properties
Display and control every parameter of networked UHF and UHF-R systems including group, channel, frequency, and transmitter sync settings.

 

 

Alert Manager

Displays critical transmitter information such as low battery or RF level to protect your signal strength during a performance.

 

 

*WiNRADiO® Support

Wireless Workbench v5.0 supports WiNRADiO models WR-G305e, WR-G305e/WFM and WR-G305e/WFM/PD as scanning devices (which connect to the associated PC via USB) in the Frequency Plot tool and the Frequency Compatibility Synthesis and Analysis wizards. The discontinued model WR-1550 is also supported.
