Abstract

A system and method for testing a radio network. A user at a central site may choose specific radios to be tested and specific test parameters for each one. The user may specify start and stop times, sample rates, whether one or multiple links are to be simultaneously tested, whether results should be presented as snap shots, statistical tables/graphs/charts, or as correlated data from multiple links. Distributed testing is permitted, in which the operational characteristics of one radio are varied, and another radio is monitored for a corresponding change. Once data has been gathered from one or more tests on one or more links, the data may be returned to the central site for analysis and presentation to the user in the selected format.
