Terminology

To quickly familiarize yourself with TEMS Discovery, it is necessary to know and


understand the following terminology:
Project. A project is a placeholder used to organize the processed data from a
geographic region. Mixing data collected from two distant regions in a project will result
in substantial distortion of the display on Map Views; however, multiple projects can be
created for a given region. All the data in TEMS Discovery is structurally organized,
and, unlike competing tools that require you to load raw log data in every new session,
TEMS Discovery loads the data once and saves the processed data permanently until
it is removed.
GIS Data and Geo Area. GIS data used in TEMS Discovery includes vector data,
raster images, and terrain elevation data. Data from the same geographic region is
grouped into a geo area that can be referred to by one or more projects. GIS data is
optional, but can be very helpful for troubleshooting.
Dataset. A dataset is created by importing one or more raw drive test files. All of the
processed data is organized according to certain attributes, including the original file
names, device names, mobile IDs, labels, etc. Multiple datasets can be created under
a project to organize the data collected from different time frames, optimization phases,
vendors, sub-geo regions, or any other attributes. Newly collected data can be
appended onto any existing dataset or project.
Composite Dataset. Processed data from one or more datasets of a project can be
logically combined into composite datasets. A typical practice is to group the processed
data by one of their attributes, such as mobile IDs or functional labels (long call, short
call, PS call, etc.), and then generate one composite dataset for each of the groups.
Coverage Maps. Coverage maps are the prediction data from RF planning and design
tools. Any prediction data in a format similar to raster images or terrain elevation data
supported by TEMS Discovery can be imported. The imported data can then be used
for both background display and to create prediction vs. measurement delta metrics.
View Layout. A view layout is a configuration setting that describes the organization of
various data views. The user can open a project with one of the saved view layouts.
Analysis Set. An analysis set is a set of view layouts that includes precise
configuration settings that describe the specific names of the metrics to be displayed in
a given view. The user can send an entire set of metrics defined in an analysis set from
a selected data source with a single click.
[TEMS Discovery] Document. A TEMS Discovery document defines the configuration
settings of the specific data sources, displayed metrics, and view layouts. Opening a
TEMS Discovery document will restore almost all aspects of any saved information,
except for the zoom level.

6 Getting Started

1.5

Data Archive vs. Export vs. Sharing

Cleaning up the Datasets:


Archiving is a method for taking datasets out of the active working data , but keeping it
available locally. It will move the datasets from the Explorer>DataSets branch to the
Exploreer>Archives branch. The data is stored in compressed files on disk to save
space. Archiving is available in the Properties menu at the file, device, and dataset
levels.
Sharing the views, configurations, settings, and map sets:
Exporting is the method in TEMS Discovery of saving a view, a configuration set,
settings, or maps sets for sharing and distribution to others. It is available in the
Properties menu at the file, device, and dataset levels, and in the
Configuration>Configuration Management menu at the project level.
Sharing imported datasets:
Packing for Sharing is the method in TEMS Discovery of saving imported datasets for
sharing and distribution to others. It is available in the Properties menu at the dataset
level, not the device or file levels.

A Few Tips

TEMS Discovery has several unique features that will allow you to easily customize
TEMS Discovery's display to suit your needs and preferences. The settings can be
easily saved for future use.
View Arrangement. One of TEMS Discovery's special features is its moveable window
views. This feature allows you to arrange the layout of the views to best suit your
presentation needs. Each view can be locked, hidden, or even dragged to another
monitor as a floating window.
Any view can be enabled or disabled by clicking the related toolbar buttons, or by
selecting a sub-menu under Views. By default, the newly enabled view overlaps an
existing view. To rearrange a view, simply move the mouse to the view title, left-click,
and drag the view to the target position on the screen. To overlap two views, simply
drag one view to the title of the other view.
Creating Sub-Views. To further break down the primary view windows, TEMS
Discovery enables users to create sub-views that help organize data by placing it into
smaller groups.
To divide the Map View, Time Chart, Histogram, or Correlation View into several
smaller views, click the Table Size button
on the views toolbar.
Using Drag-and-Drop. To display any metric in any view, the user can drag-and-drop
the metric from the Data Explorer into the target view.
Dealing with Right-Click Context Menus. Right-clicking an object or at any space in
a given view will bring up a context menu that can be applied to the selected object or
view.
Dual-mode Toolbar Buttons. Toolbar buttons containing both "+" and "-" signs are
dual-mode buttons. Left-clicking performs the opposite function as right-clicking (e.g.,
left-clicking zooms in and right-clicking zooms out).
Samples of dual-mode toolbar buttons:

visualization and flexible view arrangement, and a demonstration of the
synchronization of all views.

To open a demo document, double-click on any of the three documents, or, if rightclicking, select Open from the context menu. The following screen will appear if you
open the demo document DemoDocument_WCDMA.

The opened document contains a project called DemoProject_WCDMA, as well as the


configuration of data presentations. By opening this document, some project data will
be automatically displayed in synchronizable views, including Map View, Time Chart,
Messages View, and Table View. Other project data may be displayed in summary
data views, such as the Histogram.
The level of the project data display in the Data Explorer window is controlled with the
Tree View button . (If the Explorer is hidden, click the tab located at the bottom of
the panel to make it visible.) The data objects are active and can be dragged-anddropped to any of the synchronizable views or summary data views.
If you would like to give additional space to any of the windows, click the Pin Down
button
at the top-right corner of the window to use the auto-hide feature, or move
the mouse over the border of a window, and click and hold to change the window size.
You can also rearrange windows to a preferred layout by dragging-and-dropping each
window by its tab into the desired location.

1.11 Get Your Algorithm Working


The Script Builder is one of the unique and advanced features that TEMS Discovery
offers. It enables you to easily create your own definitions of events/alerts or derive
custom metrics (such as event counters, time delays, or composite metrics) based on
any decoded information elements, including all Layer 3 information elements. The
algorithms can then be shared with peers or standardized across an organization.

The Script Builder is designed for RF engineers who do not specialize in software
development but who know basic C programming syntax, as well as software
developers who can take advantage of C# programming language and Microsoft .Net
library.
TEMS Discovery provides several sample scripts in the program; referring to them can
help you learn how to create your own scripts.

1.12 Generate Reports As You Wish


The Report Template Builder is another unique and advanced feature that only TEMS
Discovery offers. TEMS Discovery incorporates a powerful reporting mechanism that
allows the user to customize and generate a variety of different Excel-based report
templates.

You can create a report template in Excel; then open the spreadsheet in TEMS
Discovery to fill in the metric attributes in any cell. From the Metric List tab, you can
drag-and-drop any information elements to the spreadsheet and select one of the
metric attributes (e.g., sample count, mean, maximum, minimum, standard deviation,
multiple user-defined percentiles, elapsed time, distance, etc.). The modified
spreadsheet can then be saved as a TEMS Discovery report template. With these
templates, you can drag-and-drop a mobile or a composite dataset to the template;
TEMS Discovery will then automatically fill in the specific metric data and generate a
final report.
The remainder of this manual covers the TEMS Discovery working environment. The

Overview

TEMS Discovery is built around a dockable workspace to achieve its clear and intuitive
user interface. All windows, such as Map View, Messages View, Time Chart, and most
of the configuration dialogs can function as either docked or overlapping tabs.
The Document List, Project List, GIS List, Task Manager, and Message Log each has
an auto-hide feature that allows them to be hidden, while preserving valuable
information on screen. Enable or disable the auto-hide feature by clicking the Pin
buttons ( or ) at the top right corner of each window.
TEMS Discovery uses a drag-and-drop mechanism that allows you to perform many
tasks through direct manipulation. For example, during run time, the windows can be
rearranged to a preferred layout by simply dragging-and-dropping them. The layout can
then be saved as an XML file so that the application can restore its screen layout
whenever needed.

Project List

The Project List contains an overview of projects created in the Private Data folder of
the local computer, collected for sharing in a Public Data folder, or even located in the
Private Data folders of multiple remote TEMS Discovery peers.

TEMS Discovery provides a multi-user environment. Different users in the same


computer can have their own private data folder, hidden from others. Projects created
by a user will be visible only to their owner (these are listed under the Private Data tree
node in the tree view). However, the computer administrator has the right to control
who else has permission to access a particular user's private data folder.
The Public Data folder is for sharing data among all users. Users can upload their
private data to the public data folder, or download data to their private data folder for
manipulation. This Public Data folder can be a network folder. Please see
Measurement Data Storage Options for information about setting up a Public Data
folder.
Additionally, TEMS Discovery can connect to remote computers that are also running
TEMS Discovery and share data with those computers active users. In the tree view, a
remote computer will be indicated with its IP address and FTP port number. See Data
Networking for more information.
The Project List is the data portal. The listed projects can be opened to a workspace
with certain pre-configured view layouts and/or with pre-defined analysis sets.

Dataset Options

Datasets can be filtered by sector group, condition expression, event set, and/or userdefined region. Those filters will affect what data is to be considered for data
presentation and statistics. In addition, TEMS Discovery can list only the files that meet
the listing filters, problem set, favorite flag, or collection date/processing date. You can
also search the dataset tree for any label that contains the search text.

On-fly Composite

The On-fly Composite option allows the user to create dynamical composite dataset
based on multiple device attribute. This option is only available when database is
selected for measurement data storage.
4.1.1.3.2

Data Filters

The Data Filters option is different from the Listing Filters (Non-Composite) option. The
Data Filters option will not affect the dataset listing in the Data Explorer, but it will affect
what data can be analyzed and displayed. In another words, if a metric is dragged-anddropped to any view, only the data within the filtering region covered by the sector
group and meeting the conditions will be displayed.

Sector group. If a sector group is selected, only the data at the location that is
covered by the sectors in the sector group will be considered. See Cells in Map
View for information about defining a sector group.

Condition. If one or multiple condition expressions are selected, the data to be


considered must also meet the condition. Click the Browse button to open the
Script Builder, where you can define or edit a condition expression. See the
Script Builder section for more information.

Region. If a filter region is selected, only the data within the defined region will
be considered. See GIS in Map View for information about creating a userdefined region (UDR) and assigning attributes to each polygon.

Consider polygon attribute. If this option is selected, only the data that falls
within the polygon with the specified attribute and value will be considered.

In case Data Filters option pane is hidden, an indicator in red color will be displayed as
below.

4.1.1.3.3

Geo Bin

The Geo Bin option is to provice on-the-fly solution to aggregate the data in geolocation
bin.

Binning Method
TEMS Discovery provides two algorithms, by route distance and by location
grid, for geo-location binning. If you choose to use route distance binning, the
data within the distance of the defined binning size will be binned, whereas if
you choose to use location grid binning, the data within the square area of
defined binning size will be binned.

Binning Type
The default binning type is by the nature of data. TEMS Discovery has predefined binning type for each metric by its nature, for example, use LAVG
(linear average for Ec/Io, etc.). However, you can select user-defined option
and select one of binning type for all the data to be geo-binned. The selectable
binning types are: AVG, LAVG, MIN, MAX, COUNT, SUM, FIRST and LAST.

Listing Filters (Non-Composite)

The Listing Filters option is different from the Data Filters option. The Listing Filters
option will not directly affect the statistics of displayed data. However, it does directly
affect whether a project, dataset, file/device, or metric will be displayed under the Data
Explorer tree view. Please be advised that these options will not affect the listing of
composite dataset.

Problem Sets. You can select a problem set as a filter to list only the datasets
or devices that have the problem defined in the problem set. Be sure to click the
Refresh button
to refresh the Dataset tree view after any change to the
selection of problem sets. This option only affects the dataset listing in the Data
Explorer.

Favorite. The Frame or Metric can be added to or removed from the favorite
group through its pop-up menu. The collection of these Frames and Metrics can
be named and saved to a favorite group. The Favorite combo box lists all
available favorite groups. Once a favorite group is selected from the combo
box, only the Frames or Metrics that belong to the group will be listed in the tree
view. This option only affects the dataset listing in the Data Explorer.

Date filter by. You can search the dataset within a certain period based on its
processing date or collection date. You will need to click the Refresh button
to refresh the dataset tree view after any change to the date criteria. This option
only affects the dataset listing in the Data Explorer.

You can also select context menu shown below

4.1.3.1.1

Coverage Maps

TEMS Discovery can import a coverage map to a user-defined geo area. This userdefined geo area can be assigned to a geo area property of a project (see GIS List and
Project Properties for more information). Coverage maps can consist of data in any
GIS format exported from a third-party cell planning tool and can be used in TEMS
Discovery as regular GIS maps.

4.1.3.1.2

Download TerraServer Images/Maps

TEMS Discovery offers direct access to multiple online sources of imagery, topographic
maps, and gridded terrain data. This includes worldwide high-resolution color imagery
from Digital Globe/GlobeXplorer/AirPhotoUSA (watermarked access for free), and
access to the entire TerraServer-USA database of USGS satellite imagery and
topographic maps, free of charge. TEMS Discovery can also access WMS data
sources, including built-in access to elevation data and color imagery for the entire
world.
To open the Select Online Data Source to Download dialog, right-click on the tree node
and choose Download. The downloaded GIS data will be listed with its geo boundary
as the title.

4.1.3.1.3

Floor Prints

When TEMS Discovery imports indoor drive test data, it will also import any floor prints
contained in the indoor data package if the indoor data package contains geo
references for the floor prints in the following supported coordinate systems:

Lat/Lon projection (1) with WGS84 datum (104)

UTM projection (8) with WGS84 datum (104)

TEMS Discovery will save those geo references so that the user does not have to
manually rectify the floor prints.

4.1.3.1.4

Images/Maps

TEMS Discovery can import GIS data to a user-defined geo area. This user-defined
geo area can be assigned to a geo area property of a project (see GIS List and Project
Properties for more information). As shown below, the geo area property of the current
project is Demo_Geo, and three maps have been imported to this geo area.

colors, simply click on the color swatch to change it.

Shader Options. To view terrain elevation data, you can choose several algorithms
from the dropdown menu to color and shade the loaded elevation data. Selecting the
Select built-in shader as default radio button will allow you to choose from the
following algorithms:

Atlas Shader. The Atlas Shader is the default shader, and generally provides
good results for any loaded elevation data.

Color Ramp Shader. The Color Ramp Shader displays ramps of color: blue for
low elevations to red for the highest elevations.

Daylight Shader. The Daylight Shader colors all elevations the same shade
and is only useful while Hill Shading is enabled.
When using this shader, you may customize the following options:

Surface Color: sets the calculated surface intensity color.

108 Main Project Windows

Global Shader. The Global Shader shades elevation datasets that cover large
areas of the Earth such as Terrain Base and GTOPO30, to provide stunning
results for these datasets.

Gradient Shader. The Gradient Shader moderates coloring with elevation


between the low elevations and the high elevations.
The actual colors ramped between can be selected in the Shader Options
panel:

Low Color: Sets the lowest elevation value color.

High Color: Sets the lowest elevation range color.

HSV Shader. The HSV Shader maps the elevations onto the HSV (hue
saturation value) color space.
Mapping can be configured in the Shader Options panel:

Low Color Start (Advanced): Sets where the lowest elevation will be on the
HSV color range.

Value (Advanced): Modifies the HSV value parameter.

Saturation (Advanced): Modifies the HSV saturation parameter.

Range: Modifies how much of the full HSV range is to be used--increasing


this value leads to color wraparound.

Reverse Colors: Reverses the orders of colors used for shading.

Slope Shader. The Slope Shader colors loaded terrain data by the slope of the
terrain rather than the absolute elevation. This shader allows you to identify the
portions of the terrain that are relatively flat versus those that are relatively
steep.
The definitions of "flat" and "steep" are the configurations for the Shader
Options panel:

Minimum Slope -> Slope Value: Allows you to set the slope at or below
whichever Minimum Slope Color is used.

Minimum Slope -> Color: Specifies the color with which all parts of the
terrain with a slope at or below the Minimum Slope Value will be shaded.

Maximum Slope -> Slope Value: Allows you to set the slope at or above
whichever Maximum Slope Color is used.

Maximum Slope -> Color: Specifies the color with which all parts of the
terrain with a slope at or above the Maximum Slope Value will be shaded.

Smooth Gradient: Specifies that all portions of the terrain with a slope
between the Minimum Slope Value and the Maximum Slope Value will be
colored with a smooth gradient of colors that vary with the slope from the
Minimum Slope Color to the Maximum Slope Color.

Custom Color: Specifies that all portions of the terrain with a slope between
the Minimum Slope Value and the Maximum Slope Value will be colored
with a single color that can be modified with the Select button.

Alternatively, you can choose to use custom shading created from system plot bands.

Light. The Lighting Direction option sets the position of the light source (the "sun") for
hill shading. Note that cartographic azimuth and altitude are used. 0 azimuth means the
sun is to the north, 90 azimuth means the sun is to the east, etc. An altitude of 90
means that the sun is directly overhead, while an altitude of 0 means the sun is on the
horizon.
Use the Ambient Lighting option to brighten up dark datasets or to dim bright datasets.
Water Display. The Water Level setting controls the level at which water is displayed.
The default is set at an elevation of 0 meters above sea level. Use this to simulate
different flood and sea level change scenarios.

Vector Display Options

The Vector Display options let you control the display of vector data (areas, lines, and

Render. This section contains the settings for which types of vector features (areas,
lines, points, or labels) will be displayed when loaded. You can use these settings to
turn off an entire class of features all at once. For a finer degree of control, see the
Feature Filter section described below.
Scale threshold to hide labels. This setting controls how much de-cluttering of
displayed vector data is done. This is useful when you have a large of amount of vector
data loaded. For example, if you have all of the roads for an entire state loaded at
once, you can slide the detail slider to hide minor roads until you have zoomed in
sufficiently on the data. The default setting (Low) will display all vector data regardless
of zoom scale. This setting does not affect the display of raster or elevation datasets.
Feature Filter. This section allows you to select which specific area, line, and point
feature types to display. By default, all feature types are displayed.

Layer Control Display Options

Multiple layers of data can be displayed in the Map View with certain composite modes.
For GIS data, by default, all vector data is drawn after any other loaded raster or
elevation data, regardless of the order of the vector layers in this dialog.

Layers Tree View. In the Layers tree view on the left, the higher level indicates the
view index in multiple Map Views; the lower level lists all loaded GIS, dataset, and
network configuration layers in that view. You can select a layer by clicking on its
name. For the GIS layer, its current Display Options and Metadata are displayed in the
tab controls on the right side.
To hide a layer, uncheck the layer by clearing the checkbox before its name in the tree
view, or click the Close Selected Layer

from the Map View.
To change the drawing order of a selected layer, use the

the layer up and down. The first layer in the tree view will be drawn on top of the other
layers.
116 Main Project Windows

Display Options. The Display Options tab contains controls for the color intensity
(brightness, darkness), color transparency, blending, anti-aliasing, and texture mapping
of the selected layers. Note that the exact options displayed depend on the type of
data.

The Color Intensity setting controls whether the displayed pixels are lightened
or darkened before being displayed. It may be useful to lighten or darken raster
overlays to see overlaying vector data more clearly.

The Translucency setting controls the degree that you can see through the
layer underneath the selected layer. The default setting Opaque means that
you cannot see through the overlay at all. Settings closer to Transparent let
you see through the overlay and blend overlapping data.

Selecting Transparent will make a particular color transparent, making it


possible to see through a layer to the layers underneath. For example, when
viewing a DRG on top of a DOQ, making the white in the DRG transparent
makes it possible to see much of the DOQ underneath. Clicking Set
Transparent Color allows you to select the color that will be transparent in the
selected overlay(s) as well as save the palette for palette-based files to a color
palette (.pal) file.

Interpolate removes jagged edges by making a subtle transition between


pixels. Turning off this option maintains the hard edges of the pixels as they are
rasterized.

Selecting Texture Map will drape a 2D raster overlay over loaded 3D elevation
overlays. Turning on Texture Map will let the overlay use any available data
from the underlying elevation layers to determine how to color the DRG or
DOQ; the result is a shaded relief map.

Selecting Auto-Clip Collar automatically removes the collar from loaded raster
data. It is typically used to remove the white border around a DRG or the small
black collar around a 3.75 minute DOQQ. This allows you to seamlessly view a
collection of adjacent DRG or DOQ files.

Selecting Automatically adjust contrast will automatically adjust the display


contrast.

Declaration

Alias. An alias that can be referred as a metric when writing a script.

Static Variables. Variables whose values will be kept valid while computing the
next data point. It is not possible to assign null to a static variable. In order to
remove the value of a static variable, it must be set to empty (for strings) or to
the default minimum value (for other types).

MyString = ;

MyFloat = float.MinValue;

MyTimestamp = double.MinValue;

Event Enum. Event enumeration.

Metrics. Metric to be generated.

Report Variables. The varaibles to report around the timestamp when an event
occurs.

Technologies Related. Define the technologies that the script can ba applied.
This information will be used to determine if the script will be visible under a
particular file/device in Data Explorer

All variable types may be tested for valid values using IsValidValue(MyVariable). It will
return false for both null and empty values.
Strings may be tested with String.IsNullOrEmpty(MyString). It will return true for both
null and empty values.

Programming in C# Language

The Script Builder uses a subset of C# programming language. For more detailed
information about C#, refer to the online resource:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx.
This section describes basic programming concepts that apply to script building and
provides an example.

5.1.11.1

Statements

The sequence of a scripts execution is controlled by statements, which are executed


for their effect and do not have values. All C# statements end in a semicolon (;).
#region
#region lets you specify a block of code that you can expand or collapse when using
the outlining feature of the Script Editor. A #region block must be terminated with a
#endregion directive.
#region a loop statements
for(int i=0; i<50; i++)
{
statement 1;
statement 2;
}
#endregion

5.1.11.2

Declaring and Initializing Variables

The following build-in numeric data types are supported:


Build-in Numeric Data Type:

Ranges

bool

true, false

byte

0~255

short

-32768~32768

int

2147483648 ~ 2147483647

long

-9223372036854775808 ~ 9223372036854775807

double

5.0E-324 ~ 1.7E308, 15-digit precision

In the script, you can declare a variable by using its type and a given name:
int i;
// create an integer

To initialize the variable, you can give it a value or use the new operator:
int j=5;
// create an integer and set its value to 5

User's Guide Tems

Tools 195

5.1.11.3

Casting Variables

To cast a data type to a different but compatible type, you may simply place (<new data
type>) in front of the variable of interest. For example:
Delta_PSCH_RS = (float) RP_PSCH[(int)CellIndex] -(float) RSRP[(int)CellIndex]

5.1.11.4

Writing Comments

C# uses two forms of comments: a single-line comment starting with //, and a multi-line
comment starting with /* and ending with */.
The single-line comment does not have a terminator. It ends at the end of the current
line.
int i;
//simple counter
i++;
Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */.
/*this code block is commented out
int i=3;
i++;
end of comments */

5.1.11.5

Using Blocks { }

C# does not contain special keywords for the end of many control statements (for, if,
switch, foreach, do, while, and others). Instead, C# uses the opening brace { to
denote the beginning of the block and the closing brace } to denote the end of the
block.
for(int i=0; i<50; i++)
{
statement 1;
statement 2;
}

5.1.11.6

Declaring Functions

A function declaration contains any optional modifiers, the return type, the name of the
function, any parameters, and the body of the function. For example:
int foo()
{
return 5;
}

To define a function that does not return a value, specify a return type of void.
void bar()
{
//do work ...
}
196 Tools

5.1.11.7

Using the return statement

The return statement exits a function. It is necessary for any function that returns a
value.
int foo()
{
return 5; //necessary to get the value out of the
function
}

5.1.11.8

Branching Statements

Branching statements are the programming equivalent of do this, or do that, or do


something else. They provide the means to select which branch of code to take. C#
contains two different syntax elements that control branching: if/else and the
switch/case/break statement.
Using the if/else Statement
The if/else statement lets us pick one of two paths based on a Boolean expression.
Examine the following code:
if ( val > 5 )
{
//do work ...
}
else
{
//do work ...
}
If this expression is true, then the next statement is executed. If the expression is false,
then the next statement is skipped, and the statement after the optional else is
executed.
Also, notice in this example that the else clause is optional. We can omit the else
clause if no actions will be taken if the expression is false.
if ( val > 5 )
{
//do work ...
}
//continue other works

User's Guide Tems

Tools 197

However, the else clause can contain another if statement.


if ( val > 5 )
{
//do work ...
}
else if ( val > 3 )
{
//do work ...
}
else
{
//do work ...
}

Using the switch/case/break Statement


The switch/case statement provides a multi-way branching statement. The switch
statement defines the variable to use as the branching element. Each case statement
defines the beginning of a block. That block is executed only when the value control
variable has a value equal to the value in the case statement.
switch( day )
{
case "Monday"
//do work;
break;
case "Wednesday"
//do work;
break;
default:
//do work;
break;
}

5.1.11.9

Iterations

Iteration statements provide the means to execute a block of code multiple times.
Using while and do/while Statement
C# contains statements that let you execute a series of statements multiple times. The
while loop and the do/while loop are closely related:
int i=0;
while( i < 10 )
{
//do work...
i++;
}

198 Tools

The above example works for every value of i from 0 to 9. The do/while loop can work
in almost the same way:
int i=0;
do{
//do work ...
i++;
} while ( i < 10 );

The only difference between the while loop and the do/while loop is that a do/while
loop is always executed at least once. The while loop evaluates the Boolean
expression before entering the block of code. The do/while loop evaluates the Boolean
expression only after executing the block of code the first time.
Using for Loops
The code in the preceding section can be just as easily written using a for loop. A for
statement contains three clauses: the first clause sets the initial value of the looping
variable; the second clause defines the loop termination expression; and the third
clause defines the expression that modifies the looping variable. The first and third
clauses may contain multiple statements separated by commas. The second clause
must evaluate to a single Boolean expression:
for( int i=0, j=0; ( i<10 ) & ( j<10 ); i++, j++)
{
// do work ...
}

Using foreach Loops


The foreach statement provides a shortcut to loop through a collection, as shown in
the following example:
foreach( int i in collectionOfi)
{
//do work...
}

Using break/continue in Loops


We use the break and continue statement to modify the execution paths of loops. The
break statement terminates the block being executed inside the loop and exits the
loop. The continue statement terminates the block being executed inside the loop and
starts the next iteration.
for( int i=50; i<100; i++)
{
if( i > 80 )
continue;
//terminate the block and start a new
iteration if
the expression is true
if( i == 95)
break; //exit if the expression is true
//do work
}

5.1.11.10 Expression
An expression defines some kind of computation. Expressions include variables or
literal values, and some set of operators. They may be variable assignments,
mathematical computations, or Boolean computations.
Arithmetic Operators
The standard mathematical operators in C# are:
+
*
/
%
++
--

Addition
Subtraction
Multiplication
Division
Modulus
Increment
Decrement

Boolean Operators
C# supports the usual logical operators:
&&
||
!

Logical AND
Logical OR
Logical NOT

C# also supports bitwise Boolean operators:


&
|
^
~

Bitwise AND
Bitwise OR
Bitwise exclusive OR (XOR)
Bitwise NOT operator

Equality and Comparison Operators


C# contains operators that let you compare values:
<
<=
==
!=
>=
>

Smaller than
Smaller than or equal to
Equal to
Not equal to
Greater than or equal to
Greater than

All of these work in the same way. They compare two values of the same type and
return a Boolean value:
if( a == b )
//do work ...

Create Static Variables

To retain the values of a variable from one message to another, one must define the
variable as a static variable. The static variable allows you to keep track of the
timestamp of a message or a status. By defining multiple static variables, you are
effectively running multiple state machines.

3.

Report Template Builder Measurement Data

The Report Template Builder provides great flexibility when generating reports
from drive test data. Reports can be generated in several Excel formats.
The Report Template Builder eliminates the need to request customized report
generation from another tool vendor, or to manually conduct data manipulation. Data
objects need only to be dragged-and-dropped from the Specific Metrics tab to generate
a final report.
For all of TEMS Discovery's supported metrics, prescriptives may be defined and the
results presented in a chart with all Microsoft Office Excel supported types. With a
single operation, it is possible to generate the final report from TEMS Discovery report
templates.

The Report Template Builder has the following components:

Toolbar and Context Menu

Excel Templates. Lists all Excel type report templates defined by using the
Report Template Builder. See Generating Microsoft Office Word Report for
more information.

Word Templates. Lists all Word type report templates defined by MS Word.
See Problem Summary View for more information.

Problem Sets. Lists all problem sets defined by using the Report Template
Builder. Problem set definition is similar to report template definition, except that
the B1 cell in the spreadsheet is a flag to note whether the final report indicates
that the device has problem. If the value in B1 cell is 0, the device has no
problems; otherwise, the device does have problems. See Problem Summary
View for more information.

File Formats and Limitations

The report template can be in any of the following Excel files types:

Excel 97-2003 xls

Excel 2007/2010 xlsx

Excel 2007/2010 Macro-Enabled xlsm

Cross-referencing among different sheets is supported in each format, but VBA macros
are supported only as follows:

Excel 97-2003 xls report template. Can contain VBA macros, but the maximum
worksheet size is 65536 rows by 256 columns.

Excel 2007/2010 xlsx report template. Maximum worksheet size is 1048576


rows by 16384 columns. Cannot contain VBA macros.

Excel 2007/2010 macro-enabled xlsm report template. Maximum worksheet


size is 1048576 rows by 16384 columns. Can contain VBA macros.
However, the Report Template Builder cannot edit an Excel 2007/2010 MacroEnabled xlsm file. You will need to open a report template (xls or xlsx) in Excel,
add macros as needed, and then save the file as an Excel macro-Enabled xlsm
file.

Limitations of Report Builder and report output:

Cell comments and form controls (such as buttons, checkboxes, list boxes, etc.)
will not be read from or written to .xlsx or .xlsm files.

Reading and writing shapes from and to Open XML files is limited. Many
properties may be lost, and all complex shapes will be lost.

When reading conditional formats, only Excel 2003 features are supported.
Conditional formats that use Excel 2007-2010 features are ignored (deleted).
Also, Report Builder does not support the new ability of Excel 2007-2010 to
have different conditional formats that overlap. Therefore, when a conditional
format is read that overlaps a previous conditional format, the cells in the
previous conditional format will be removed from the newly read conditional
format.

Table references in formulas such as [Sales] are converted to #REF!

User's Guide Tems

Tools 207

Report Builder does not support Excel tables. With no table to refer to, there is
no way to preserve these formulas in their original state. Excel will generate a
warning when reading the workbook.
Workaround to display image properly in report output:

Open report template using Excel, remove the images from report template.
You may see many images overlapping, which may be instroduced by thirdparty component TD uses.

Create your image and save as BMP file, then select Excel menu Insert>Picture and insert your image to report template, then save.

If you edit the report template and save the change in TD report builder, you will
have to repeat the above steps.

Define Report Template

A TEMS Discovery report template is actually a Microsoft Office Excel file with TEMS
Discovery formatted information. TEMS Discovery can read and write Excel files and
replace TEMS Discovery formatted information with the final values.
To define a report template, you can:
1. Open an external Excel file, open an existing internal report template, or work
directly on the right-side spreadsheet called the Report Editor.
2. Drag-and-drop any IE from the Metric List tab into the Report Editor.
3. Pick the desired aggregate or charting function from the pop-up menu. As a
result, a TEMS Discovery formatted string, along with additional information, will
be placed into the target cell.
4. Save the report template through the toolbar functionality. The saved report
template will be listed in the Report Templates list box.
It is recommended that you create an Excel file to define the reporting format, including
font, color, and formula and so on. Click the Open button
on the toolbar to open the
file and define the TEMS Discovery report template. Additionally, you can right-click on
any report template in the list box and select Open In Excel to further edit the report
format.
More information about defining a report template:

Drag data objects from the Metric List.

Drop data objects into the editor and select the report option (see Report
Options).

SetGlobal. Defines a global value (a single value or an array of value)


generated from a metric's data. This global value can be retrieved by the
GetGlobal flag. Be aware that SetGlobal must be defined after GetGlobalFlag in
the report template. In other words, if the GetGlobal flag is defined in row
number 10, the corresponding SetGlobal flag must be defined in a row number
that is greater than 10.

Statistic Data. Defines a Statistic Data report. See Define Statistic Data.

Tabular. Defines a Tabular data report. See Define Tabular List.

Trend Chart. Defines a Trend Chart report. See Define Trend Chart for details.

Descriptives

Count. Count of the data points.

Duration. The time span of the first data collected to the last data collected.

Linear Average. Linear average of the data points.

Mean. Mean of the data points.

Max. Maximum value of the data points.

Min. Minimum value of the data points.

Mode. Mode of the data points.

Percentage. Percentage of the data points that are within the range defined or
over/below a defined threshold. A threshold or a range must be defined if this
report type is selected.

Standard Deviation. Standard deviation of the data points.

Sum. Summation of the value of the data points.

Unique Count. Count of unique values of the data points.

Variance. Variance of the data points.

X-Percentile. Value of the data point that is in the specified percentage the
percentage must be defined.

Define Plot Bands


If you choose to report data in Chart, you can also define plot bands by providing the
start value, end value, and step value.
Apply Self Restriction
You can define a threshold or a range to filter data points, so that only the data points
satisfying the threshold/range are computed for what is described. You can select a
logical operator and a corresponding operand (numerical value or text) to form a logical
expression. Up to two logical expressions are supported and these two logical
expressions will be joined. The settings in this section apply to the selected metric
itself.
Under the metric list, there are some special metric groups like WCDMA PSC Scanning
- UARFCN #=? and WCDMA PSC Scanning - UARFCN =?. If you drag-and-drop a

then specify an index so that only data in the specified index will be reported. Also, if
you drag-and-drop a metric under the group name ended with "=?" to the Report
Template Builder, you can specific a key so that only the data of the specified key (e.g.,
UARFCN) will be reported.
Apply Condition Filter
You can also select one or multiple condition filters. Only the data points at the times or
locations meeting the criteria defined in the condition filters will be included for
reporting. To define a condition filter, see Report Template Builder.
You can choose to embed the condition filter definition into the template so that the
report template will be self-contained and can be exported for sharing without exporting
the associated condition definition.
Apply (Geographical) Cluster Region Filter
You can choose to enable or disable UDR data filtering for the data you select. If the
Enable UDR Filtering option is selected, by enabling the Consider data only in cluster
region index # checkbox and selecting an index, you can create a report template
containing flags for a cluster region index. Before generating a report for a specific set
of data, you can then associate a set of specific UDRs with the region index. See
Generate Report From Report Template for detail. To be more flexible, you can even
choose to filter the data based on the attributes of each polygon.
Apply Device Attribute
You can attach certain attributes to mobile data (see Device Attribute Assignment) so
that mobile data can be identified by its attributes. For example, consider that you have
data from two operators, Blue and Green. You can import this data into the same
dataset, and set attributes to Blue and Green, respectively. In the report template, you
can define the report with data of the Blue attribute, Green attribute, or both.
Check the checkbox in front of each attribute to include that attribute in the definition.
When generating the final report, the attributes will be used to identify what data is to
be considered for reporting. See Generate Report From Report Template.
You can also check the Enable delta between different device attributes option to
generate the delta between the data of two different attribute sets. A plot band must be
defined so that the delta can be presented in a chart.

The following information is used to define a series:
Definition

Define the IE with a formatted string including the size of the chart area. (Do not edit
this information!)

Descriptive

Select what to calculate for the IE. For each plot band, one value will be computed
and those values will be defined as the Y values. The plot band of this IE, by
default, will be defined as X values, unless a correlation metric is defined.

Display

Select what to display in the chart as the Y values. The options are Value, PDF, and
CDF.

Series Title

Define a title for the series.

Chart Type

Select a chart type. These chart types are fully compatible with those in Microsoft
Office Excel 2007. However, if an earlier version of Excel is installed, some of the
chart types will not be viewable.

Chart Layout #

Excel provides a set of predefined layouts for each chart type. Each layout is
indicated by an integer number. See Available Chart Types for an overview. You
can refer to Excel for more detailed information.

Plot By

Indicates the way columns or rows are used as data series on the chart: xlColumns
or xlRows.

Chart Title

Define a title for the chart. This title must be defined only in the second column; the
other columns must be left blank.

X Values

The starting Cell label of the X-values. By default, the X-values of the chart will be
the plot band of the metric, and the Y-values will be the values (computed by the
selection of the "Descriptive") that are allocated in each band. If a correlated metric
is defined for this metric, the X values will be the plot bands of the correlated metric.
This value will be automatically filled when the final report is generated.

X Title

Title for the X-axis.

Y Values

The starting Cell label of the X-axis values. This value will be automatically filled
when the final report is generated.

Y Title

Title for the Y-axis.

# of Bands

Define the number of bands to be considered for generating the chart.

Sort Order

Define the sort order for sorting the Y-axis values. The options are Ascending,
Descending, and None.

Correlation

By default, the X-axis value is the plot band assigned to this IE. For some cases,
you can correlate this IE with another IE and use the plot band of that IE for the X
values.

For example, if you want to create a chart to visualize the linear average of the Peak
Ec/Io of each serving sector, this metric can be correlated with Common > Cell ID cdma2000 > Sector ID > Sort By: Signal Strength > Top 1. Drag-and-drop that metric

The final report will be similar to the following:

For the example shown above, you can even elect to sort the Peak Ec/Io in Ascending
or Descending order so that the chart can be better visualized. If you further define a #
of Bands (for example, 5), only the stronger or weaker 5 serving sectors will be shown
in the chart.
Of course, you can elect to correlate with any other metrics, and, by combining those
charting options, you can produce a rich report just by dragging-and-dropping data.

5.2.3.5

Define Multi-series Chart

You can define more than one series in a single chart by dragging-and-dropping
another IE into the column immediately after the previous series. Other than defining
the chart area (the highlighted area in light grey), all operations are the same as for
defining the first series.
For example, refer to the following report template, which defines three series. For
Chart Layout #, Plot By, Chart Title, and Correlation, only the first series requires
definition. The other series will apply the same settings.

The report template shown above will result in a final report similar to the one shown
here:

The chart type for different series can be set to different types. This way, one series
can be plotted as the xlColumn type and the other can be plotted as the xlLine type.
However, the mixed chart type can only be defined to a 2D chart type. If you define a
mixed 3D chart type, or one to the 2D type and another to the 3-D type, all the series
will be plotted to the chart type of the first series.

Define Chart Skeleton

In some circumstances, you may want to manually define a list of X-values and Yvalues one by one. Each value could be computed by a Microsoft Office Excel formula,
constant value, or cross-referred value; or computed by TEMS Discovery through a
Single Value report type. TEMS Discovery provides a way to define a chart skeleton
and, when generating the final report, TEMS Discovery will create the chart based on
the definition.
To define a chart skeleton, right-click the Report Editor and select Chart Skeleton from
the context menu. As when a chart is defined, an area will be dynamically highlighted in
light grey while moving the mouse. At the right-bottom corner of the desired chart area,
left-click, and the following definition will be generated in the Report Editor.

For this skeleton, you need to at least manually define the starting cell label of X values
and Y values, along with the # of Bands. Cross referencing is allowed, but the format of
the reference should be as such: 'Sheet Name'!M24. Be sure to place an exclamation
mark (!) after the sheet name. The following is an example of a well-defined chart

select Statistic Data in the Report Options. The definition that will be generated is
shown below.

Figure 1

Cell B2 (the cell that the metric is dropped into) defines the metric information, Cell B3
defines what to compute, and, by default, Cell B4 defines where the starting cell is to
place the range. If you don't want the range to be listed, clear the cell. You can list
other metrics side-by-side by defining another Statistic Data report in the C column;
however, all of the metrics must have the same plot band definition.
Following is the final report generated:

Simply generating statistic data per its own plot band is not enough. More desirable
information is the correlation between two metrics. In Figure 1, you can drag-and-drop
another metric to Cell B5 and define it as the correlation metric. For example, you can
drag-and-drop Common > Cell ID - cdma2000 > Sector ID > Sort By: Signal Strength >
Top 1 into Cell B5, as shown below.

Figure 3

Be aware that if you define other metrics side-by-side, all of these metrics must have
the same correlation defined. In this example, Cell C5 must be the same as Cell B5.
The final report generated from the above example is shown below:

Options of Repetition in Report

In cases where you need to generate a report with repetitive information (e.g., for each
cluster UDR), you can define the report type and descriptive in a block of cells in the

under the definition block. TEMS Discovery can then automatically repeat the report
generation of the definition block for each available cluster UDR in the data source.
To access the following dialog, right-click at the first cell immediately under the
definition block on which you intend to repeat, and select Repetition in Report from
the context menu.

Repetition Flag. Repetition flag is a user-defined flag that will be placed in any
cell of the definition block as a placeholder. During report generation, this
placeholder will be replaced with the value of the Repetition Key. Select
Repetition Flag from the right-click context menu, and place the flag at the
desired location. If the flag will be placed inside any text, including online script,
embrace the flag with braces, like this: "{{RepeatFlag}ServingSector}"

of cluster UDR mapping indexes to limit the reporting scope, using commas
as delimiters to separate the indices. For more information about cluster
UDR mapping, see Project Properties.

Polygon attribute. A cluster UDR can contain a number of polygons, and


each polygon can be assigned to a number of attributes. Those attributes
can be utilized as a repetition key for reporting. For more information about
creating UDRs and assigning attributes to polygons, see GIS in Map View.
For this repetition type, select a default geo region in the Report Generation
dialog so that the definition block will be reported on polygon regions with
each unique attribute defined in this default geo region.

Metric. Select this option to make TEMS Discovery repeatedly report on


each distinct value of the specific metric key in the data source.

User's Guide Tems

Tools 227

Global Array (From SetGlobal). Select this option to make TEMS


Discovery repeatedly report on the array defined by SetGlobal in Report
Options. This array contains distinct values of the selected metric.

Unique ID (represents number of data rows). The number of rows that


will be occupied by the results of report types such as Statistic Data, Multidimension Statistic Data, and Tabular is dynamic and unknown in the
design stage. However, you can assign a unique global ID (on the
Additional Options tab in Report Options) for any of these report types, and
refer to this unique ID in repetition definition. In this way, you can define the
number of repetitions of a block to be the same as the number of data rows
generated.

The most useful usage case is to define cross-references to the results of


report types. For example, we defined Multi-dimension Statistic with unique
ID "ABC" in sheet "Events", as shown below.

In another sheet which must be a sheet not in front of the above sheet, we
created a formula "=IF(Events!B4<>"",Events!B4,"")" in Cell B4 (it doesnt
have to be in Cell B4) that refers to Cell B4 in the above sheet, "Events."
228 Tools

Then, we defined repetition to repeat Row 4 for the number of times that is
represented by the unique ID "ABC" in sheet "Events". As a result, Row 4
will be repeated by the same number of times as the number of data rows
generated for the defined Multi-dimension Statistic, and each row will be
calculated corresponding to each data row of the multi-dimension statistic
data.

Available Chart Types

Microsoft Excel supports many kinds of charts to help you display data in ways that are
meaningful to your audience. You can easily select the type you want from a list of
standard or custom chart types.
Following is an overview of some standard chart types and their subtypes. For more
detailed information, please refer to Microsoft's online resources.
5.2.6.1

Column Charts

A column chart shows data changes over a period of time or illustrates comparisons
among items. Column charts have the following chart sub-types:

Clustered Column. This type of chart compares values across categories. It is


also available with a 3-D visual effect. As shown in the following chart,
categories are organized horizontally, and values vertically, to emphasize
variation over time.

Stacked Column. This type of chart shows the relationship of individual items
to the whole, comparing the contribution of each value to a total across
categories. It is also available with a 3-D visual effect.

100% Stacked Column. This type of chart compares the percentage each
value contributes to a total across categories. It is also available with a 3-D
visual effect.

3-D Column. This type of chart compares data points along two axes. For
example, in the following 3-D chart, you can compare four quarters of sales
performance in Europe with the performance of two other divisions.

NOTE: Data points are individual values plotted in a chart and represented by bars,
columns, lines, pie or doughnut slices, dots, and various other shapes called
data markers. Data markers of the same color constitute a data series.

236 Tools

5.2.6.2

Bar Charts

A bar chart illustrates comparisons among individual items. Bar charts have the
following chart sub-types:

Clustered Bar. This type of chart compares values across categories. It is also
available with a 3-D visual effect. In the following chart, categories are
organized vertically, and values horizontally, to place focus on comparing the
values.

Stacked Bar. This type of chart show the relationship of individual items to the
whole. It is also available with a 3-D visual effect.

100 % Stacked Bar. This type of chart compares the percentage each value
contributes to a total across categories. It is also available with a 3-D visual
effect.

5.2.6.3

Line Charts

A line chart shows trends in data at equal intervals. Line charts have the following chart
sub-types:

Line. This type of chart displays trends over time or categories. It is also
available with markers displayed at each data value.

Stacked Line. This type of chart displays the trend of the contribution of each
value over time or categories. It is also available with markers displayed at each
data value.

5.2.6.4

Pie Charts

A pie chart shows the size of items that make up a data series (data series: Related
data points that are plotted in a chart. Each data series in a chart has a unique color or
pattern and is represented in the chart legend. You can plot one or more data series in
a chart. Pie charts have only one data series.), proportional to the sum of the items. It
always shows only one data series and is useful when you want to emphasize a
significant element in the data. Pie charts have the following chart sub-types:

Pie. This type of chart displays the contribution of each value to a total. It is also
available with a 3-D visual effect, as shown in the following chart.

Exploded Pie. This type of chart displays the contribution of each value to a
total while emphasizing individual values. It is also available with a 3-D visual
effect.

Pie of Pie. This is a pie chart with user-defined values extracted and combined
into a second pie. For example, to make small slices easier to see, you can
group them together as one item in a pie chart and then break down that item in
a smaller pie or bar chart next to the main chart.

Bar of Pie. This is a pie chart with user-defined values extracted and combined
into a stacked bar. More information

5.2.6.5

XY (Scatter) Charts

An xy (scatter) chart shows the relationships among the numeric values in several data
series (data series: Related data points that are plotted in a chart. Each data series in a
chart has a unique color or pattern and is represented in the chart legend. You can plot
one or more data series in a chart. Pie charts have only one data series.), or plots two
groups of numbers as one series of xy coordinates. Scatter charts are commonly used
for scientific data and have the following chart sub-types:

Scatter. This type of chart compares pairs of values. For example, the following
scatter chart shows uneven intervals (or clusters) of two sets of data.

User's Guide Tems

Tools 239

When you arrange your data for a scatter chart, place x values in one row or
column, and then enter corresponding y values in the adjacent rows or
columns.

Scatter with Data Points Connected by Lines. This type of chart can be
displayed with or without straight or smoothed connecting lines between data
points. These lines can be displayed with or without markers.

5.2.6.6

Area Charts

An area chart emphasizes the magnitude of change over time. Area charts have the
following chart sub-types:

Area. This type of chart displays the trend of values over time or categories. It
is also available with a 3-D visual effect. By displaying the sum of the plotted
values, an area chart also shows the relationship of parts to a whole. For
example, the following area chart emphasizes increased sales in Washington
and illustrates the contribution of each state to total sales.

Stacked Area. This type of chart displays the trend of the contribution of each
value over time or categories. It is also available with a 3-D visual effect.

100% Stacked Area. This chart type displays the trend of the percentage each
value contributes over time or categories. It is also available with a 3-D visual
effect.

Doughnut Charts

Like a pie chart, a doughnut chart shows the relationship of parts to a whole; however,
it can contain more than one data series (data series: Related data points that are
plotted in a chart. Each data series in a chart has a unique color or pattern and is
represented in the chart legend. You can plot one or more data series in a chart. Pie
charts have only one data series.). Doughnut charts have the following chart sub-types:

Doughnut. This type of chart displays data in rings, where each ring represents
a data series. For example, in the following chart, the inner ring represents gas
tax revenues, and the outer ring represents property tax revenues.

Exploded Doughnut. This chart type is like an exploded pie chart, but it can
contain more than one data series.

5.2.6.8

Radar Charts

A radar chart compares the aggregate values of a number of data series (data series:
Related data points that are plotted in a chart. Each data series in a chart has a unique
color or pattern and is represented in the chart legend. You can plot one or more data
series in a chart. Pie charts have only one data series.). Radar charts have the
following chart sub-types:

Radar. This type of chart displays changes in values relative to a center point. It
can be displayed with markers for each data point. For example, in the following
radar chart, the data series that covers the most area, Brand A, represents the
brand with the highest vitamin content.

Filled Radar. In this type of chart, the area covered by a data series is filled
with a color.

Bubble Charts

A bubble chart is a type of xy (scatter) chart. It compares sets of three values and can
be displayed with a 3-D visual effect. The size of the bubble, or data marker (data
marker: A bar, area, dot, slice, or other symbol in a chart that represents a single data
point or value that originates from a worksheet cell. Related data markers in a chart
constitute a data series.) indicates the value of a third variable. To arrange your data
for a bubble chart, place the x values in one row or column, and enter corresponding y
values and bubble sizes in the adjacent rows or columns. For example, you would
organize your data as shown in the following picture.

The following bubble chart shows that Company A has the most products and the
greatest market share, but not the highest sales.

5.2.6.10

Stock Charts

This chart type is most often used for stock price data, but can also be used for
scientific data (for example, to indicate temperature changes). You must organize your
data in the correct order to create stock charts. Stock charts have the following chart
sub-types:

High-Low-Close. The high-low-close chart is often used to illustrate stock


prices and requires three series of values in the following order (high, low, and
then close).

Open-High-Low-Close. This type of chart requires four series of values in the


correct order (open, high, low, and then close).

242 Tools

Volume-High-Low-Close. This type of chart requires four series of values in


the correct order (volume, high, low, and then close). The following stock chart
measures volume using two value axes: one for the columns that measure
volume, and the other for the stock prices.

<Sub folder n for Project n>
If no project sub-folders are under the monitored folder, TEMS Discovery will create the
following default project and default datasets:
_ADP_Created_Project_From_Folder_<Monitored Folder>
_ADP_Created_DataSet
Also, TEMS Discovery will automatically create the following two sub-folders after
execution of an ADP task:

Imported. Log files that are successfully processed will be moved to this folder.

FailedToImported. Log files that are not successfully processed will be moved
to this folder.

You should never manually place any log files to be processed under the Imported or
the FailedToImported folders.

FTP Setting Window parameters:

Address. IP address of the FTP server to be monitored.

Port. Port number of the FTP server to be connected to. If you don't know this
value, contact the FTP server administrator.

Use HTTP proxy server (non-default). If you do not explicitly define the proxy
server setting, the default proxy setting in your Windows Internet options will be
applied when connecting to FTP.

Need authentication. If the FTP folder to be monitored can be accessed


anonymously, do not check this option, and TEMS Discovery will try to connect
to the FTP server as an anonymous user. Otherwise, check this option and
provide the user name and password to be used by TEMS Discovery when
connecting.

Check FTP folder every x minutes. TEMS Discovery does not monitor the
FTP folder constantly; it checks for new files periodically. The default interval for
checking files is 5 minutes. If a shorter interval is selected, the CPU usage and
network traffic will increase, and vice versa.

Handling for Files in FTP after Download. After downloading the data files
from FTP, you can elect to keep a copy in the local folder and then remove
them from the FTP server, or you can relocate the files to another FTP folder as
a backup. It is OK to leave them in the monitored FTP folder without further
action, but this option is not recommended.

Keep a copy in local folder. Specify a local folder where TEMS Discovery can
download the new data file from the FTP server and keep it as a copy.

Project root folder. As when monitoring a local folder, you need to specify the
Project root folder to be monitored on the FTP server. This folder must follow
the same rules as for the locally monitored folder.

ADP Step3: Output Scheduler

The step 3 window of configuring an ADP task is shown below:

Output Data Checking Options


Check Time. These settings tell TEMS Discovery when to check the project/dataset for
the defined time interval to generate the output. You can check at a certain time of day,
or you can wait for a certain number of minutes after the last drive test data file of a
batch is placed in the import queue. For example, if you define a check time of 30
minutes after the last file of a batch is placed in the import queue and then start an
upload of 10 files, if the upload interval between the sixth file and the seventh file is
more than 30 minutes, TEMS Discovery will automatically group these 10 files into two
batches and generate a report for each batch 30 minutes after the last file of a batch is
placed in the import queue, or at the time when all the files in the batch are imported.
Check by. These settings tell TEMS Discovery how to check the data, by Data
processing time or by Data collection time.
At the check time, the active ADP task will check the project/dataset selected at Step 2
up to the beginning of the start time interval and generate the output as defined by the
task.
If the Check by option is set to Data collection time, the delayed by hours value will be
added. For example, if the delayed by hours value is 6, then the time range of a day's
data will be 6 AM to 6 AM on the following day.
Date Range. These settings tell TEMS Discovery what date range should be
considered when generating the output. For example, if you have data in the
project/dataset as old as January 1, 2010, but you only want to generate output from
March 1, 2010, you can set the starting date as March 1, 2010. Note that you can
250 Tools

define a more flexible date range by defining the number of hours to look back from the
check time.
Once an ADP task with an output option set is activated and TEMS Discovery keeps
running on the computer, TEMS Discovery will try to generate the output based on the
settings every day at the Check time. TEMS Discovery will keep track of which days
data have been processed for output. If you stop and restart a task that has generated
some output for some days, TEMS Discovery will ask whether you want to re-generate
the output from the Start date.
Output Data Grouping Options
Time options:

Daily. The output will be generated daily, and every day's data will appear in
one output file (if set to Weekdays, output will only be generated Monday
through Friday).

Weekly. The output will be generated at weekly intervals (every week or every
few weeks) according to the definition of the week's start day.

User-defined. The output will be generated according to the date range defined
by the user.

Per Import Batch. The output will be generated according to the data which
has been imported in the latest batch.

Device Output options:

One per device. The output will be generated as one per device.

One for all devices. The output will be generated as one for all the devices.

Project/Dataset Output options:

Project. The output data will be grouped by project.

Dataset. The output data will be grouped by dataset.

Save output files to each project subfolder (create if not exist)


Normally TD will output all files to used-defined output folder. The project name will be
concatenated in the output file name. If you like to group output files by each project,
you shall check this option. A subfolder will be created for each project and the output
files will be saved in each subfolder respectively.

NOTE: The TEMS Discovery Statistic feature incorporates the concept of OLAP
cubes.
An OLAP cube is a set of data, organized in a way that facilitates nonpredetermined queries for aggregated information, or, in other words, online
analytical processing. OLAP is one of the computer-based techniques for
analyzing business data that are collectively called business intelligence.

Generic User-Defined Metric Group

TEMS Discovery can import drive test data from a delimited text file, and then the
imported data can be manipulated in a similar manner as drive test data from other
formats. In other words, the imported data can be displayed in all views, and it can be
used to generate reports through the Report Template Builder and produce new
metrics or events through the Script Builder.
To enable TEMS Discovery to import a text file, you must define a user-defined metric
group in the dialog shown below. This dialog can be accessed in the following ways:

Selecting Generic User-Defined Metric Group from the Configuration menu


on the Main Window.

Clicking the Edit button in the Import Drive Test Data dialog.

Once the metric group is defined, you can reuse it to import any text file with a
compatible format. This metric group will be listed in the Report Template Builder and
the Script Builder under the tree node _Plugin: UDMG (User-defined Metric Group).

To define a user-defined metric group from scratch, follow the steps below:
1. Click the Browse button to locate the delimited text file you intend to
import.
TEMS Discovery will display the first few lines of the selected file in the Partial
Preview tab, and populate the Source Column/TD Metric Name in the
Configuration tab. The names in Source Column/TD Metric Name are simply
copied from the column headers of the selected text file. Since the TD Metric
User's Guide Tems

Configuration and Settings 303

Name strings will be displayed in the TEMS Discovery GUI, you can modify a
TD Metric Name to one that better describes the nature of the data.
You can also specify the column delimiters and data array delimiters if a column
contains a data array.
2. For any user-defined metric group, source columns must be mapped to
the TEMS Discovery metric name Time or Latitude/Longitude/Position.
You can select those pre-defined TEMS Discovery metric names, listed below,
from the combo box in the Internal Metric Name column.
Date

If you have a source column that contains only date information such as 10/25/2010,
you can map it to this TEMS Discovery metric name. Further, you need to define the
date format in the text box at the bottom so that TEMS Discovery can parse this date
information correctly.
The date can be in compact format without a leading 0 (m/dd/yyyy, if the data is like
3/20/2010 (March 20, 2010)). Otherwise, the date is in the format mm-dd-yyyy.
(December 30, 2009 would be 30-12-2009.)

DateTime

If you have a source column that contains both date and time information, such as
10/25/2010 10:23:59.232, you can map it to this TEMS Discovery metric name.
Further, you need to define the date format as described above.

Latitude

The source data must be a numerical value in degrees.

Longitude

The source data must be a numerical value in degrees.

Position

The source data can be in a standard format such as 34:22:22N 117:34:22W

Time

If you have a source column that contains only time information, such as
21:05:59.333, you can map it to this TEMS Discovery metric name. If you don't have
source data providing date information, you can select a target date in the Import
Drive Test Data dialog to provide the missing information.

3. Define the binning type for each metric.


The following binning types can be selected from the combo box in the Binning
Type column.
_None_

No binning

AVG

Take the average value of the bin

COUNT

Take the count of data in the bin

ID

Only take unique values of this metric in the bin (i.e., treat this metric as an ID)

FIRST

Take the first value in the bin

LAST

Take the last value in the bin

LATLON

The value is GIS data and shall be treated specially

LAVG

Take the linear average value of the bin

MAX

Take the maximum value of the bin

MIN

Take the minimum value of the bin

SUM

Take the sum value of the bin

4. Assign the data type for each metric.


For different data types, the metric data will be displayed differently in the
output. If you assign text to a metric, this metric will not be used to generate
statistic data such as Mean, Average, etc. even though the nature of the data
might be numeric.

304 Configuration and Settings

float

Assign this data type if the source data is numeric. You can also define the number
of digits after the decimal point to be kept.
If the data source contains a special value that indicates an exception, you can put
that value in the Exception Val column, or if you want to exclude a range of values,
you can define that range in the Exception >=" and "Exception <= columns. TEMS
Discovery will not import the exception value, but will set it to No Data.

integer

Similar to the data type float.

text

Assign this data type if the data source is text.

5. Define the group by metric


You can use Group By to separate data belonging to different identifiers, such
as WCDMA PSC or CDMA PN. By grouping the Ec/Io values or Ec values by
PSC or PN, you may avoid incorrect aggregation of Ec/Io or Ec values.
6. Define the sort by metric
By defining a metric as the Sort By entity, you can arrange a set of data
according to the values of the metric. Sort By is used in conjunction with Group
By. However, it is rare for one to use the same metric as the key for both Group
By and Sort By. Using PSC or PN as a Group By key and Ec/Io or Ec as a Sort
By key is a good example for typical usage.
7. Select where the metric can be displayed.
Select Time Chart, Map View, or Histogram. The plot band for the metric can
also be defined in this window.

Distributed Processing System

In the following distributed processing system (DPS), PC1 is running TEMS Discovery
designated as the dispatcher, PC2 through PC4 are running TEMS Discovery acting as
remote processing servers, and PC5 can be a pure data storage server.

Once all servers are set up and PC1~PC4 are running TEMS Discovery Professional
as described above, you can:
1. Create two mapped network folders.
These two mapped network folders will be accessible by all PCs with a common
drive and folder name (e.g., x:\monitored_folder, y:\private_data_folder). These
folders can be physically in one server or in separate servers.

Shared Source Folder. Drive test data to be processed is placed in this


folder. When the ADP task is created in the dispatcher, this folder will be
configured to be monitored.

Shared Private Folder. This folder will hold the processed data. For all
PCs, set this folder as a Private Data folder in the Options dialog
(Configuration | Options | Data Storage).

2. Set each of the Processing Servers (PC2~PC4) as Can be a member (Data

7.18 Device Attribute Assignment Template


After drive test data is imported, some key pieces of information will be extracted
and saved as attributes of the file/device. New attributes can also be created. Attributes
can be used to categorize files/devices for the following purposes:

Organize mobile data in Data Explorer. Mobile data can be categorized and
logically displayed under the same attributes.

Create Composite Data. Before creating a composite dataset, you can group
the mobile data by its attributes and drag-and-drop the entire group to create
composite data. See Composite Dataset for more information.

Generate Reports. By assigning appropriate attributes to mobile data, you gain


great flexibility to generate reports from specific data. These attributes can be
part of the definition in the report template. See the Report Template Builder
Metric List for information about applying these attributes. When generating
final reports from large amounts of data, TEMS Discovery can internally
categorize the data based on its attributes and produce reports of defined
attributes from the data.

New attributes are defined and edited on the Device Attributes dialog, which can be
accessed through the right-click context menus for data in the Data Explorer, the
Composite Dataset dialog, or the Report Template Builder. The attributes can be
globally applied to all data, conditionally or unconditionally.
User-defined Attributes
Users can define any number of attributes and assign values to them. These attributes
can then be used to group data for display or to identify data for reporting.

324 Configuration and Settings

Editable Attributes
The value of attributes can be assigned unconditionally, or changes to their value can
be assigned conditionally by providing a list of conditions and the associated change.
In the event you don't want to overwrite the value of an attribute that has been
assigned a value, check the Don't overwrite the value of attribute if it is not empty
option.

The device attributes assignment can be saved as a template, and it can be configured
to automatically assign device attributes at the time drive test data is imported. (See
Import Drive Test Data and ADP Management for more information.)
With conditional editing, you can define a condition that checks for certain text phrases
in the file name. You can include the wildcard (*) in the text phrase to create more
flexible condition checking.

Time offset is a special device attribute that can be set to artificially offset the data
collection time. This is extremely useful if you want to synchronize messages from
different devices.

7.22 Import Data


Drive test data, cell configuration data, and GIS data can be imported into TEMS
Discovery. The imported data will be well organized, can be presented in various
formats, and can be shared.

7.22.1

The Import Drive Test Data dialog can be accessed in the following ways:

Selecting Import | Import Drive Test Data from the File menu on the Main
Window.

Clicking the Data Import button

Clicking the Import Drive Test Data

Nemo Outdoor, Nemo Handy

PCTel Scanner

Wave File

Generic Text File (Delimited)

Follow these steps to import data:


1. Click the Select Data Format & Add Files button
to add one or more drive
test data files to import. Please be aware that you must select the data format
from the pop-up file open dialog.
2. If the file you have selected is a supported archive file, clicking the file will list all
its entities in the Archive File Entities tab page. To select which entity or entities
to import, check or uncheck as needed.
3. Select the Use global UDR specified project/dataset option if you have global
UDRs and have specified the UDR Project Mapping and want to use the global
UDRs to decide which project and dataset should be used as the target.
If you have selected this option and the imported drive test data does not
overlap with any of the global UDRs that have a project specified in the
mapping, then a default project named _No_UDR_Match_Project will be
used as the target project and a default dataset named
_UDR_Match_Default_Dataset will be used as the target dataset.

If a drive test data file does overlap with multiple global UDRs and each of
the UDRs is mapped to a different project, then each of these projects will
be used as the target project to take the drive test data. You can skip the
next two steps if you have chosen this option.

4. Select or enter a new target project name in the Target project field.
5. Select or enter a new target dataset name in the Target dataset field.
6. When importing some drive test data formats, you may be asked to select or
enter a new target mobile name in the Target mobile field.
7. If your source drive test data does not contain collection date information, or
you want to change the collection date, define the desired data information in
the Target Date field.
8. You can define the time offset for the data, or skip it.
9. In the Smart File Merge section, you have the following independent options:
Merge file if timestamp gap is less than or equal to x seconds. This
option allows you to physically merge the selected files (different from
creating a composite dataset, which is logically merged). If you want to
merge all the files, not limited to the selected files to be imported, in a
dataset, do so by selecting the context menu in Data ExplorerDataset.

Merge TEMS DCx to MSx. This option is applicable only to TEMS files.

All TEMS indoor files share the same floor print and way points. This
option is applicable only to TEMS indoor files. Please be advised that the
selected files must be collected in the same floor and in the same time
period.

Configuration for more information.
11. If importing a generic text file, select an import configuration from the Generic
User-Defined Metric Group field, or create/edit configuration by clicking
Edit/View. See Generic User-defined Metric Groups for more information.
12. In the Additional tab page, you have the following additional options:
Apply antenna gain offset to user-specified devices.

Include multiple levels of log file's parent folders as file name prefix.
This may avoid overwriting file names if you are importing the data from
multiple data collection teams and every team is using the default mmdd.log
naming convention for log file name.

Define Default (Device) Attributes. This option allows you to globally


assign certain device attributes for the data to be imported. These attributes
can then be utilized for data grouping or for report generation. See Device
Attribute Assignment for more information. You should be very cautious
when using this feature to avoid incorrect assignment of device attributes if
you are dealing with simultaneous multi-device testing.

You can select a device attribute assignment template and TEMS Discovery
will automatically assign device attributes for the imported device based on
these rules. See Device Attribute Assignment for more information.

Once you click Import, the task will be placed into the task queue for scheduling, and
its status will be indicated in the Task Window. After the data is imported, it will be
listed in the Project List and the Data Explorer.

Currently, TEMS Discovery supports the import of Ericsson UETR files. You can select
one or more UETR files and import those files into the selected project and dataset.
You can adjust UETR messages by defining your time zone.
After a UETR file is imported, it will be listed under the selected dataset with its subnetwork name as the file name and IMSI as the device name. If you want to view how
the UETR message is aligned with the drive test data, you can drag-and-drop the
corresponding UETR message frames (in red color) from the drive test data listing to
the Messages View. Then, TEMS Discovery will only display the UETR messages
within the time span of the drive test data.

If you choose to compare the parameter with a number, a string


Convert(<parameter_name>, 'System.Double') will be dropped into the editor;
otherwise, <parameter_name> will be dropped into the editor and the parameter will be
compared with text.
Concatenation operators AND and OR
Concatenation is allowed for Boolean AND and OR operators. Use parentheses to
group clauses and force precedence. The AND operator has precedence over other
operators. For example:
(Antenna_Type = '731DG85V1EXM_850' OR Antenna_Type =
'731DG85V1EXM_1900') AND Convert(Height, 'System.Double') >= 80
Matching operator LIKE
The LIKE operator is used in character string comparisons with pattern matching. Both
the * and % can be used interchangeably for wildcard characters in a LIKE
comparison. If the string in a LIKE clause contains a * or %, those characters should
be escaped in brackets ([]). If a bracket is in the clause, the bracket characters should
be escaped in brackets (for example [[] or []]). A wildcard is allowed at the start and end
of a pattern, or at the end of a pattern, or at the start of a pattern. For example:
Antenna_Type LIKE '*DG85V1EXM_*'
Antenna_Type LIKE '*DG85V1EXM_850'
Antenna_Type LIKE '731DG85V1EXM_*'
Wildcard characters are not allowed in the middle of a string. For example, 'te*xt' is not
allowed.

Drag-and-drop a parameter from the tree view on the left side into the Logic pane on
the right side. For each parameter, define its range in the spreadsheet. Multiple
parameters can be dragged into Logic pane, and their levels can be modified by
dragging-and-dropping them to the desired level. All configurations can be saved with a
name.
From Data ExplorerCells, right-click a scenario version and select Apply Grouping

Delta/Special-type Grid-binned Metric

TEMS Discovery provides an easy approach to generating delta metrics between any
given metric pair or metric-coverage map pair, or generating grid-binned metrics with a
user-defined binning type.
The Delta/Special-type Grid-binned Metrics Generator can be accessed as follows:

Clicking the Delta/Special-type Grid-binned Metric


ExplorerDataset toolbar.

Right-clicking any metric in the Data ExplorerDataset List, and selecting the
Generate Delta/Special-type Grid-binned Metric option.

button in the Data

After the delta metric is generated, it will be listed under the Delta/Special-type Gridbinned Metric tree node in the Data ExplorerDataset. This delta/special metric can be
displayed in the Map View, Table View, Report View, etc., as are other geo-binned
metrics.

Normally, when generating delta metrics, you would select [Pre-defined] as the binning
type, which is the aggregation method pre-defined in TEMS Discovery by the nature of
the data. However, you have the option to overwrite this default aggregation method by
selecting any other from the combo box. The available binning types are: AVG, LAVG,
MIN, MAX, COUNT, SUM, FIRST, and LAST.
After you select a base metric in the right panel, go to the combo box labeled Delta
with: and select the option to generate delta with another metric, with coverage map
(see Import Coverage Map), or with None. If None is selected, TEMS Discovery will
actually perform geo-location binning for the selected base metric with the selected
binning type. You can also add an offset to the result of each bin so that you can create
more meaningful metrics.

Pilot Pollution Analysis

Pilot pollution analysis can be run from selected scanner data, and the data can be
listed according to serving cell and secondary cell combinations.
The Pilot Pollution Analyzer can be accessed from the context menus on the Project
List or the Data ExplorerDataset.

Best EcNo. The strongest EcNo (dB) recorded for the serving cell across all
bins in which the respective serving cell and secondary cell were seen together.

Best RSCP. The strongest RSCP (dBm) recorded for the serving cell across all
bins in which the respective serving cell and secondary cell were seen together.

DL interference. The mean downlink interference reported by the scanner


across all bins in which the respective serving cell and secondary cell were
seen together.

Max d. The maximum distance (meters) reported between the measured BIN
and the secondary cell, across all bins in which the respective serving cell and
secondary cell were seen together.

Distance between cells. The distance (meters) between the serving cell and
the respective secondary cell.

Too many servers event count. The number of Too many server events was
triggered across all bins in which the respective serving cell and secondary cell
were seen together. The definition for Too many server can be configured as
shown in user interface.

Distance samples. The number of distance measurement samples were


recorded in which the respective serving cell and secondary cell were seen
together.
d < 1000, 1000 < d < 5000, d > 5000

GSM Interference Matrix

A GSM interference matrix can be generated from selected scanner data while the
serving sector is determined from phone data, and the data can be listed according to
serving cell and suspected cell combinations.
The GSM Interference Matrix can be accessed from the context menus on the Project
List or the Data ExplorerDataset.

Distance, km. The distance between the serving cell and the suspected cell

C/I Average. The C/I average of all bins in which the respective serving cell and
suspected cell were seen together.

C/I Std_Dev. The C/I standard deviation of all bins in which the respective
serving cell and suspected cell were seen together.

C/I Worst. The worst C/I of all bins in which the respective serving cell and
suspected cell were seen together.

Sample Count. The count of all bins in which the respective serving cell and
suspected cell were seen together.

Bad Count (C/I). The count of the bins in which the respective serving cell and
suspected cell were seen together and C/I is less then threshold.

Bad Count (C/A). The count of the bins in which the respective serving cell and
suspected cell were seen together and C/I is less then threshold.

ITR C/I. Interference traffic rate

ITR C/I, %. The lost traffic percentage for serving sector due to co-channel
interference.

ITR C/A, %. The lost traffic percentage for serving sector due to adjacent
