Uploading and managing scan files

Bring analyzer scans into the site — raw files from twenty-plus analyzers or plain CSV — preview and smooth them, then manage, rename, share, and apply them across sites.

Open the Scan Data tab in the zone toolbar. Its header has three buttons: Upload, Manage, and Search (the community database — see Searching the community scan database).

  1. Click Upload. The Upload Scan File dialog opens.
  2. Describe the capture:
    • Test equipment model — pick your analyzer. With Use raw file format checked, Coord converts the analyzer’s native file for you (Shure, Sennheiser, Wisycom, Lectrosonics, Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, Siglent, Rigol, Owon, TinySA, Harogic, Aaronia, Relacart, WinRadio, Spectera, and more). Unchecked, upload a plain CSV formatted frequency MHz, amplitude dBm (tick Use comma as decimal separator for locale CSVs).
    • The scan’s location and Scan date, the Antenna type (Omni / Directional / Multi-polarized / DAS) and model, the Area type (inside/outside), and whether transmitters were on during the scan — this metadata drives the file’s quality score and searchability.
    • Anonymously share with other users — choose whether this scan appears in other users’ community searches or stays private to the project.
  3. Drop the file(s) in and click Preview and Upload.
  4. Review the preview plot — the TV-channel strip helps sanity-check the capture. Name the file; Smooth Data applies a moving average if the trace is noisy (click + to smooth harder, Revert to undo).
  5. Click Confirm & Upload.

The file lands on the site: this scan will be available to every zone in this site — each zone then picks what it displays from the plot’s Scans menu (Choosing which scan files a zone displays).

Click Manage and pick the scope — Site, Project, or All Uploaded. Selecting a file shows its detail pane:

  • Rename it (the pencil next to the name), keep Notes on it, and review its capture metadata and quality Score Details (dynamic range, data density, noise floor).
  • Applies to… — apply the file to other sites in the project (an All Sites checkbox covers everything).
  • View Location — see where it was captured on a map.
  • Download — get the data back out as CSV.
  • Delete — permanent, confirmed.
