1.11 Creating Projects from Scratch
Once you have familiarized yourself with the functions and capabilities of TEMS Discovery, you can start to create a new project.
1. Prepare Data
Depending on your needs, you may import network cell configuration, antenna, and GIS data, in addition to the drive test data to be processed. TEMS Discovery can directly process compressed files with a *.zip extension.
The current release of TEMS Discovery supports the following data:
• Drive test data:
− TEMS log files (.trp, .zip)
− Nemo log files (.nmf, .nmfs, .zip)
− SwissQual log files (.sqz, .sqc, .mf, .zip)
− Qualcomm log files (.dlf, .qraw, .zip)
− PCTEL log files (.dtr, .zip)
− JDSU log files (.aod, .zip)
− Flexible delimited text files.
2. Typical Steps to Follow:
You can follow these steps to create a project and load data:
1. Import GIS data and create a geo area (optional).
2. Create a project (placeholder) and designate a geo area if GIS data is to be used (optional).
3. Import network configuration data into the target project (optional).
4. Import the drive test data into the project.
5. Analyze the processed data, which can be browsed through the
Data Explorer of the opened project.
It is possible to skip steps 1 through 3, and go directly to step 4 to import drive test data (and create a new project and dataset at the same time) and then modify the project properties, as described below.
3. Import Data
You can select Import
from the File menu or click the
Import button
on the toolbar to bring up
Automatic Data Processing. From there, you can import drive test data, cell configuration, antenna, or GIS data.
While importing drive test data, you will be asked to select a target project, or to create a new project for the data to be associated with. If you choose to create a new project, the newly created project will be listed in the
Project List after the import is done.
4. Edit Project Properties
Right-clicking on a selected project and selecting
Edit/View Properties will bring up the
Project Properties dialog. In the Project Properties dialog, you can associate a geo area to the project so that all of the GIS data under that geo area will be listed in the
Data Explorer–GIS List. The GIS data can then be displayed in the
Map View.
5. Open Project
