NAME

DESCRIPTION

9       wavemonrc is the per-user configuration file for wavemon(1).  This page
10       describes its individual configuration options.  Each corresponds to  a
11       configuration  item of the Preferences screen (F7 key), whose on-screen
12       name is shown in parentheses.
13
14       interface = <ifname>
15       (Interface)
16              Selects the wireless interface to use.
17
18       cisco_mac = (on|off)
19       (Cisco-style MAC addresses)
20              If enabled, display MAC addresses using  lower-case  hex  digits
21              separated by dots rather than colons.
22
23       scan_filter_band = (2.4ghz|5ghz|both)
24       (Scan band selection)
25              Filter  bands  in  the  scan  window: 2.4ghz (2.4GHz only), 5ghz
26              (5GHz only), or both (show both bands).
27
28       scan_hidden_essids = (on|off)
29       (Scan hidden ESSIDs)
30              Whether the scan window should include hidden ESSIDs.
31
32       sort_order = (channel|essid|mac|signal|open|chan/sig|open/sig)
33       (Scan sort type)
34              Determines the ordering used in the scan window:  channel  sorts
35              by  channel  number,  essid by access point name, mac by MAC ad‐
36              dress, signal by signal strength, and  open  by  openness.   The
37              combined  variants  chan/sig  and  open/sig  sort first by chan‐
38              nel/openness and then by signal strength.  It also  affects  the
39              status  line  at  the bottom: normally the most crowded channels
40              are listed, sorting by channel in descending order  switches  to
41              least crowded ones instead.
42
43       sort_ascending = (on|off)
44       (Scan sort direction)
45              Sets the direction of the sort_order: ascending (on) or descend‐
46              ing (off).
47
48       stat_updates = <n>
49       (Statistics updates)
50              Time interval for polling new  statistics  (including  scan  re‐
51              fresh). Range: 10..4000ms.
52
53       lhist_slot_size = <n>
54       (Histogram update cycles)
55              Number  of samples used per each histogram slot. For example, if
56              the stat_updates interval is 500ms and the histogram  slot  size
57              is  4,  the histogram is moved one slot further every 2 seconds.
58              Range: 1..64.
59
60       meter_smoothness = <n>
61       (Level meter smoothness)
62              Determines the responsiveness of level meters, tracking the mov‐
63              ing  average  rather  than  following each new sample. The given
64              value specifies the percentage of the history (the 'inertia') of
65              preceding  samples.  A  value  of 0 disables this option. Range:
66              0..99%.
67
68       info_updates = <n>
69       (Dynamic info updates)
70              Sets refresh rate for dynamic device parameters  (e.g.  bitrate)
71              and  the  refresh  interval  for  the  Scan  window (F3). Range:
72              1..60s.
73
74       override_auto_scale = (on|off)
75       (Override scale autodetect)
76              Override the auto-scaling of the bar graphs and  histogram,  al‐
77              lowing you to set your own scales.
78
79       min_signal_level, max_signal_level = <n>
80       (Minimum signal level, Maximum signal level)
81              Set  the  left  and right boundaries of the signal level scales.
82              Ranges: -100..-39 (minimum) and -40..-10dBm (maximum).
83
84       transparent_bg = (on|off)
85       (Use a transparent background)
86              Use a transparent background instead of black. This  is  enabled
87              by default and can only be turned off via the startup file.
88
89       startup_screen = (info|histogram|scan window)
90       (Startup screen)
91              Which of the screens appears at program startup.
