4.1 Data Explorer

4 Main Project Windows > 4.1 Data Explorer

4.1 Data Explorer

The Data Explorer organizes project data into three categories: Dataset, Cells, and GIS. Each object in the Data Explorer can be dragged-and-dropped into multiple views.

To open the Data Explorer, right-click on a project in the Project List and select Open Project or Open Project with View Layout from the context menu.

4.1.1 Dataset

The Dataset tab displays drive test data in three logical groups:

• Archive. Datasets that have been compressed and stored in the disk as .ZIP files to save space.

• Composite. Multiple datasets/mobiles that have been combined to construct logical datasets/mobiles.

• Datasets. Drive test data that has been processed (binned) from the source data. The hierarchy of the data is: Dataset > Mobile Group > Mobile > Frame > Metric.

Except for the archives, each group is in a tree view layout that can be drilled down to the metric level.

	Group. Create dataset group.
	Help.

4.1.1.2 Color Scheme

The metric list tree nodes for a dataset are color-coded according to the nature and the level of data.

To illustrate, the following hard-coded color scheme is used:

• TEMS Discovery-predefined Scripts/Custom Metric/Condition Expression: Orange

• User-defined Scripts/Custom Metric/Condition Expression: Green

• Password protected Scripts/Custom Metric/Condition Expression: Maroon

• TEMS Discovery-Special Metric Group: Red

$C:\Users\USDIJA\Documents\backup\TEMS Discovery\TD DocToHelp Projects\MASTER IPP Collection with PNGs\DatasetTreeNotes.png$

You can change the color scheme by selecting a new set of favorite colors for certain modifiable tree notes. See Color Scheme Options for more information.

4.1.1.3 Dataset Options

Datasets can be filtered by sector group, condition expression, event set, and/or user-defined 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.

Data Filters

A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated

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-and-dropped to any view, only the data within the filtering region covered by the sector group and meeting the conditions will be displayed. Filter selection is applicable to all project datasets including all composites.

• 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.

• Event set. If an event set is selected, the data to be considered must also meet the condition defined in the event set. Click the Browse button to open the Event Set Configuration dialog, where you can define or edit an event set. See Event Set Filter 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 user-defined 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.

• Vertical layer. Selection of Vertical layer filter configuration will filter data for specified height range, typically used in drone test analysis. See Drone Test Analysis for more information.

• Date/Time. If this option is selected, only the data that falls within the specified data collection date/time range is considered.

Selected filters can be applied to all populated system views via the global Refresh button of the Dataset tab. Alternatively, filter selection can be applied to individual system views by using local Refresh buttons. Measurements sent to system views after change of filter selection will automatically reflect it. All filter selection may be wiped out clean via Cleanup button of the Dataset tab.

Data Filters flag located above the Data Explorer data tree will automatically change status from Off to On whenever any of filters is applied. Flag color will change from neutral/grey to red when data filters are on.

Data Benchmarking

Data Benchmarking option allows for streamlined comparison of network performance between multiple operators or devices. The option is enabled/disabled using ‘Benchmark per’ check box with benchmarking carried out for selected aggregation attribute, including operator, device, IMEI, IMSI or Label. The option is supported in Map, Time Series Chart and Histogram system views.

Data benchmarking can be initiated by user sending individual metric/event to one of the supported system views, or sending device or composite dataset to one of the supported system views with specific system view configuration selected. The latter approach allows for populating user-defined assortment of metrics and events per benchmarking attribute value. Data Benchmarking option will automatically populate selected metrics/events per distinct benchmarking attribute value (e.g. per operator) found in selected dataset, each in a separate sub-view. Sub-views generated by Data Benchmarking option will be labeled to indicate benchmarking attribute value (e.g. operator or device name).

Data Benchmarking option status is indicated by ‘Data Filter’ tab ‘Benchmark On’ (red color) and ‘Benchmark Off’ (gray color) toggle indicators.

Any additional data filters will be applied on top of Data Benchmarking option filtering.

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 pre-defined 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

to bring up the following dialog for defining date range for listing, so that only the file/devices which are processed or collected within that date range will be listed.

Other than the above date filtering, for each dataset, only up to a certain number of file/devices can be listed. You can select the context menu “Modify Max. Number Of Files To Be Listed For Each Dataset” to modify this maximum number.

To be more specific, you can also manually select the file/device to be listed from the following dialog which can be brought by selecting contaxt menu “Select File/Device For Listing”.

Search Dataset Tree

You can search the dataset tree for any label that contains the specified search text. You can search only for File/Device name, or if you also want to search the script results, check the option Automatically generate script result if needed.

Note: The process of searching the script results may take some time, and you will not be able to cancel the process once it starts.

4.1.1.5 Static Composite Dataset

Multiple datasets and/or mobile data can be combined to form a super dataset. This can be done by dragging-and-dropping one or more datasets or mobile data from the tree view on the left to the list view on the right. The combined dataset will be listed in the Data Explorer–Dataset List under Composite. The operation of this dataset is similar to a regular dataset.

The Create/Edit Static Composite Dataset dialog can be accessed in the following ways:

• Selecting Create/Edit Composite Dataset from the Data Explorer–Dataset right-click menu.

• Clicking the Edit Composite Dataset

button on the Data Explorer–Dataset toolbar.

A composite dataset can be created in two ways: by drag-and-drop, or by spreadsheet filtering.

By Drag-and-Drop

To make the best use of the file/device grouping function, group data by a particular attribute, and then drag-and-drop a group of data from the tree view on the left to the list view on the right.

By Spreadsheet Filtering

To list all file/devices in the spreadsheet, define a composite dataset from the selected datasets on the Available Datasets list, and then press the Refresh Spreadsheet button

in the toolbar. As with Microsoft Office Excel, you can use the row filtering function to filter out the unwanted data by a particular attribute, and then check the checkboxes to select the data.

The toolbar includes individual buttons for the various actions you might need to perform: creating a new composite dataset, saving the dataset, saving the dataset under a different name, or renaming or deleting the dataset.

4.1.1.6 Modify Dynamic Composite Dataset Scope

The Modify Dynamic Composite Dataset feature defines a set of rules by determining which rules to apply automatically to a certain composite dataset. In some circumstances, we may want to restrict the rules so that a more desired composite dataset can be generated.

This feature can be accessed in the following ways:

• Selecting Modify Dynamic Composite Dataset Scope from the Data Explorer–Dataset right-click context menu.

• Clicking the Edit Composite Dataset

button in the Data Explorer–Dataset toolbar.

You can limit the rules of a dynamic composite dataset so that they apply to a limited number of datasets and/or a certain date range, and then save it as a named scoped dynamic composite dataset. You can create unlimited scoped dynamic composite datasets from a base dynamic composite dataset.

4.1.1.7 Dataset Group

Multiple datasets can be grouped to form a dataset group.

The Group Dataset dialog can be accessed in the following ways:

• Selecting Edit Group Dataset from the Data Explorer–Dataset right-click context menu.

• Clicking the Group

button in the Data Explorer–Dataset toolbar.

$C:\Users\USDIJA\Documents\backup\TEMS Discovery\TD DocToHelp Projects\MASTER IPP Collection with PNGs\form_dataset_group.png$

To form a dataset group, drag-and-drop one or more datasets from the tree view on the left to the list view on the right. The grouped dataset will be listed in the Data Explorer–Dataset List with a prefix of <Group>. The operations for this dataset are similar to those for a regular dataset.

4.1.2 Cells

The Cells tab is the logical display of network configurations, sector groups, and sector filter expressions.

Network Configuration. Each project can contain multiple scenarios of network configurations. Each scenario can have multiple versions and will have a "Base" version of network configurations by default. You can modify the base version and save it to multiple derived versions.

From the tree view, you can drill down any scenario of network configurations from cell site to carrier parameters.

If any version of a cell configuration is displayed in the Map View, the background of the corresponding tree node will be colored.

Sector Group. You can select some particular sectors and form a sector group with a name. This sector group can be highlighted in the Map View for viewing, or used to filter drive test data for analyzing.

Sector Filter Expression. The Sector Filter Expression is a logical expression that is constructed from the cell site, sector, and carrier parameters. It is used to search sectors that meet a user-defined condition. You can also save the searched sector as a sector group for further manipulation. See Sector Filter Expression Builder for more information.

4.1.3 GIS/Coverage Map

The GIS/Coverage Map tab lists all GIS data associated with the current project. The GIS data can be displayed in the Map View by dragging-and-dropping, or by choosing it from its pop-up menu. Before dragging the GIS image/map to the Map View, you can define the translucency for the image/map for rendering.

4.1.3.1 GIS Categories

GIS data can be grouped into the following categories:

• Coverage Maps

• Download Terra Server Images/Maps

• Floor Prints

• Images/Maps

• User Defined Regions (UDRs)

Coverage Maps

TEMS Discovery can import a coverage map 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). 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.

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.

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.

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.

$C:\Users\USDIJA\Documents\backup\TEMS Discovery\TD DocToHelp Projects\MASTER IPP Collection with PNGs\form_data_explorer_gis.png$

UDR

TEMS Discovery allows the user to draw user-defined regions (UDRs), or to choose area features from the terrain vector data (see Map View for more information). UDR is mainly used for data filtering.

4.1.3.3 Download Online GIS Data Source

TEMS Discovery allows download of seamless USGS topographic maps and satellite imagery for all of the United States, as well as high-resolution color aerial imagery for select metropolitan areas from TerraServer-USA. Additionally, several built-in WMS (OpenGC Web Map Server) databases provide easy access to digital terrain data and color satellite imagery for the entire world.

This is an extremely powerful feature as it puts many terabytes of very expensive data right at our fingertips in TEMS Discovery for no additional cost. (Note that this feature requires Internet access.)

Open the Select Online Data Source to Download dialog in the following ways:

• Right-clicking Download TerraServer Image Maps from the Data Explorer–GIS List and selecting Download from the context menu.

• Clicking the Download TerraServer Image Maps button

in the Map View.
This dialog allows selection of the type, or theme, of the data to download, as well as the extent of the data to download. You can choose to download the current screen bounds, an area to download around an address, or a specific latitude/longitude bound; or you can choose to download the entire data source.

$C:\Users\USDIJA\Documents\backup\TEMS Discovery\TD DocToHelp Projects\MASTER IPP Collection with PNGs\form_data_explorer_gis_download.png$

The Add Sources From File button allows you to add new WMS sources from an external text file generated by the Global Mapper, a third-party tool. This tool can be accessed from your Global Mapper Application Data.
