As mentioned in the What is High Power Boost Mode? article, the sensor can operate in two modes: Standard and Boost mode.
Boost Mode provides a stronger transmission signal but is only activated when the sensor experiences communication issues in Standard Mode. Once the connection stabilizes, the sensor automatically tries to switch back to Standard Mode to conserve power.
How to export?
Although devices in Boost mode are clearly identified in Studio by a warning symbol on their signal indicators (boost icon), it may still be necessary to generate reports on these devices. To identify devices currently operating in Boost Mode through a File Export report and take appropriate actions to reduce their use of high-power transmission, follow these steps:
Keep in mind that you can only export devices that are in a Project you're currently viewing.
- Open the File Export module in Studio.
- Select Create New Export.
- Choose Raw Data as the export type.
- Set the desired Date Range.
- From the Included Device Type dropdown, select All Device Types.
- Click Show, then exclude any devices you don’t want included in the report.
- Leave Included Events set to Based on Devices and click Show.
- Exclude all events except networkEvent.
- Generate the export.
- In the CSV or Excel file, filter by the Transmission Mode column to find devices operating in Boost Mode.
Why use networkEvent and Transmission Mode as filters?
The networkEvent entry provides details about each device’s communication status. It includes information such as whether the sensor is transmitting in Low Power (Standard Mode) or High Power (Boost Mode). By filtering this data, you can easily identify and monitor sensors currently using Boost Mode.
