I've been learning the new UI and learning to use Babel-only firmware. I have a small 4-5 node mesh of Babel-only nodes and so far, am quite impressed. One thing I miss and can't find in the new FW is the "Chart" function previously on the "node status" page. The continuous, real-time signal to noise graph with an audio tone was very useful aiming nodes for the best connection. I'm hoping it hasn't gone away in the new firmware. I found a very nice static chart of signal and noise levels, but nothing real-time with a tone. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Thanks!!!

Thanks, I've been reading the (excellent) documentation but more "as needed" rather than from start to finish. It's 64 pages when printed to a .pdf. My small Babel mesh has a PtMP sector node and a few "Mesh Stations" so I never could find the chart/tone page in the UI. I suppose I could point the radios in Mesh mode and then switch them to whatever the plan calls for. Thanks again!

On the sidebar on the left, look for the tools icon at the bottom. Use WiFi Signal.

Node tools

You must be logged in to the node before the Node tools icon will be visible on the left sidebar.
