Name the retained artifact for each decision: spectrum trace, occupancy statistic, alarm event, channel measurement, audio or triggered I/Q. Define center frequency, span, sample rate, bandwidth, bit depth, duration, pre-trigger and post-trigger, detector, gain state, overload status, antenna path, geographic context where required and the configuration revision attached to every record.
Define the time source, synchronization interface, accuracy or uncertainty, holdover behavior and what happens when time is invalid. Frequency and amplitude records also need reference status, path corrections, antenna factor where field strength is reported, calibration date and applicable uncertainty. A time stamp without its clock state or a level without its reference plane is incomplete evidence.
Provide a controlled calibration or verification injection point that can exercise the installed path without bypassing the components being accepted. Retain source settings, fixture and cable corrections, test-bench residuals, raw data and processing version. Specify storage capacity, retention, export schema, integrity checks, network-loss behavior and alarms for dropped or overwritten data.
