WWB6

New Device Support

• Added support for the new AD600 Axient® Digital Spectrum Manager
  • Updated and increased scan speed time
  • Newly designed Property Panel for AD600
  • Multi-antenna configuration
  • Ability to import Custom User Groups from AD600

Improvements

• The following issues were addressed in this update:
• Scans and Plots
  • Wireless Workbench was unable to save a scan when a device ID contained special characters.
  • After relaunching Wireless Workbench, a crash would intermittently happen after previously selecting all the devices to start scanning and then trying to stop the scan.
  • The “Scan Storage Limit Reached” dialog was not correctly displayed when a scan would be greater than the storage limit available.
  • Importing scan data from ADX5D showed the same color for all antennas.
  • Wireless Workbench would crash by loading a CWS file while a live scan is in progress.
• Device Management
  • .csv and .txt files were failing to import to Custom Groups.
  • Wireless Workbench would crash when a virtual AD4Q is dragged onto an online AD4Q for merging.
  • Wireless Workbench might crash when closing the “select from frequency list dialog” when a spectrum manager is online.
  • Custom Groups are now shareable with PSM1000 and other IEM devices.
• Monitoring
  • ADX5D would display power source, battery sled model, and serial number as blank after switching between wired power supply and battery sled.

Known Issues

• Wireless Workbench is limiting a continuous scan to 8 hours.
• Battery type may not persist between power cycles for SLX-D transmitters on firmware version 1.0.13. To resolve, you must set the battery type on the transmitter again.
• ULX-D receivers running firmware version 2.0.28 or earlier may trigger a Settings Conflict when rediscovered after updating their firmware to version 2.1 or later. There is no issue with the device—there was simply a new property added in version 2.1. To dismiss the alert, resolve the Settings Conflict by selecting the properties you wish to keep.
• The Timeline System Event “Active Transmitter Online” for ULXD6/8 transmitters does not always include Transmitter Device ID in the event description.
• SLX and ULX frequencies in Master List mode cannot be manually entered in the Coordination Workspace. They can, however, be coordinated and analyzed.
• While working in the RF Coordination or Frequency Plot, the scan data peaks change depending on horizontal zoom level.
• In certain scenarios, the Frequency List dialog is empty and the CFL is not imported from AXT600.
• While Timeline is running, markers will not display when changing FD-Override from the current state to a new state.

Notes

• User Guide
• Supported operating systems
  • Windows 10 and 11
  • macOS 10.15 (Catalina), 11 (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey)
• To operate Wireless Workbench successfully, you must run it as an administrator. This includes when updating from within the application using Wireless Workbench version 6.13.1 or prior. Consult your IT department if you have questions about enabling administrator permissions on your computer.
• Opening show files created with older versions of Wireless Workbench may result in the Settings Conflicts dialog opening once the file has loaded. This is due to newly supported hardware parameters that have been introduced with updated firmware versions. To maintain all settings from the show file, select "Keep all settings from: Wireless Workbench."
• Alerts logged when devices first come online may list device parameters and their values as they are being discovered even though the parameter values themselves have not changed.
• The ability to request replacement frequency band labels through the Frequency Band Conversion Tool and Report has been discontinued. The band conversion function is still available for use. For more information, please refer to the WWB Help System in the application, or contact Shure Applications Engineering.
