Is there a way to show the scanner RSSI data in a table or download it rather than just showing it in a graph for the nRF Connect app for Android?

[DBT]

I'm using the nRF Connect app version 4.24.3 on an Android Tablet (Android version 10)

When I'm in the scanner tab and push the scanner button I get a graph of RSSI readings over 45 seconds.

I want to put the RSSI information into a spreadsheet for comparing various devices and setups.

Is there a way to show the RSSI information in a table or export it to CSV or something like that?

Hi,

Yes, it is a hidden feature.

Long press on a device and then select all devices you want to select and hit export from the options menu on top right hand corner.

You may also change the termination character in CSV in the settings(Comma, tab, semicolon).

Hi, I am also using the same app for logging RSSI data for my project. However, I can see that the app allows to log only for 45 seconds and then it stops logging. Is there any settings require so that I can log the RSSI data continuously as long as I want the Bluetooth devices to remain scanned.

@Poka you can enable continuous scanning in settings.  At the top of the screen, click on the "hamburger" icon (3 horizontal lines) next to the word "Devices".  Then choose Settings, Scanner, and enable Continuous scanning.

@DBT, Thanks a lot. I found the settings and see that continuous scanning was already enabled with 45 seconds scanning period. The maximum scanning period shown is 5 minutes. I think we have to scan again after this interval to get more and continuous data.

At least on my version, under the "5 minutes" option there is a "Manual" option, meaning you manually stop the scanning.  That's the setting I'm using.
