60.2.12 Customizing the Presentation

60.2.12.1. Sorting of Scrambling Codes

You can sort scrambling codes in scanning information elements in a number of different ways. The sorting order is set in the General window.

Open the General window from the Navigator.

Double-click the item "WCDMA".

A dialog appears with these sorting options:

Sort by decreasing aggregate Ec/I0 (default)

Sort by increasing aggregate Ec/I0

Sort by fixed position: Scrambling codes are sorted by index and are always assigned the same argument indices, that is, scrambling code n is always found at argument index + 1.

Sort by scrambling code: Scrambling codes are sorted by index; the code with the lowest index appears at argument index 1, the code with the next higher index appears at argument index 2, etc.

Note: The sorting order of the "Sc Best" elements is fixed and is not affected by the General window settings.

60.2.12.2. Presenting Scrambling Codes from Multiple UARFCNs

In the "Sc Best" information elements, all scrambling codes found on all UMTS frequencies are collected in a single array. These elements are sorted by signal strength (aggregate Ec/I0) in descending order, and this sorting order is unchangeable.
Use these elements in order to view scan data from several UARFCNs in one window.
