WWB6
Wireless Workbench® 6
RF can be your sound system’s best friend, and its worst enemy. But there’s a software solution to keep the signal on your side, in every environment. Command your entire system with Wireless Workbench® 6.
Wireless Workbench 6 lets you remotely monitor and manage every piece of gear connected to your system without interrupting the production. Frequency calculation and analysis for supported devices allows you to coordinate the entire show from one application. The Timeline feature even lets you track RF data and review it later. Advanced Zone Management makes calculating and organizing frequencies for large or distributed environments more manageable. With this much control in your grasp, wireless freedom always moves the performance forward.
Rapid management
Users can save parameter settings and quickly apply them for simpler device configuration.
Robust coordination
RF is rarely consistent. Wireless Workbench gives you the flexibility to coordinate your frequencies over time and space.
Enterprise-wide networking
Remotely connect to devices on multiple subnets. Access control ensures only the right users can operate on your network.

Release Notes
Version 6.15.3
Improvements
- Improved Shure hardware support
Known Issues
- Wireless Workbench may crash when importing scan files from an AXT600 when a device or channel name has special characters in it such as “/”.
- Workaround: remove special characters from the device or channel name.
- Snap Cursor does not presently work for Live Scans on ShowLink Plots.
- Certain AD600 property panel items are not presently translated into languages other than English.
- 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 current state to a new state.

- 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 may 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 in WWB6. For more information, please refer to the WWB Help System in the application, or contact Shure Applications Engineering.
