I have a need to gather and analyze a lot of data about wifi signal strength. I need to collect strength of all wireless access points within range of my laptop and log this all to an xml file that can be opened in Excel or Access.
I do not need anything fancy graphically, just capture the following information and log it to XML:
Access Point Name
Channel
SIgnal Strength in DB.
There should be a start and stop button. When I click Start, prompt for the name and location of the file using standard Windows dialog. WHen I click OK after entering the name of the file, start gathering data silently, the only display I want is a timer showing how many seconds I've been gathering data.
I'd like the data to be accumulated at least once every 500ms, if possible, every 100ms. You could include a setting for refresh time which is available when the application is in the stop mode.
When I click Stop, stop the timer, stop gathering data and close the file. I should immediately be able to click Start, name and save a new file and gather more data.
The XML files should be easily opened in Excel and Access. By declaring each Access Point by name, the data file will automatically log every available access point.
