A QUICK GUIDE
The instructions given in this quick guide have been designed to get you started in a few easy steps. Please, note that these instructions do not give a full picture of the software. Consequently, every step has a cross-reference to the place in the manual where the topic in question will be explained in more detail. 1. Installing the software. Check the manual for hardware requirements if necessary (p. 9). Run the Nemo Analyze installation program Nemo Analyze 5.xx.xx.exe from the Nemo Analyze CD-ROM. Finally, restart the computer. 2. Copy protection. Nemo Analyze software is protected with a copy protection dongle (p. 11) or a network license (p. 11). Nemo Analyze will not start before you plug in the dongle or activate the network license. 3. Loading files to database. Start by loading your measurement and BTS files in the Nemo Analyze database (p. 27). This may take a few minutes, but once files have been added, they will remain in the database until you remove them. 4. You are now ready to start analyzing. You can, for example, generate a report from the data (p.189) and view measurements in graphs and maps (p.41).

COPY PROTECTION
For Nemo Analyze you can select between two copy protection options: a license server or copy protection modules.
License Server (Floating License)

Note that for using network licenses, you will need a dedicated PC for the license server (Server) and another PC for running Nemo Analyze (Client). It is strongly recommended that you do not install Nemo Analyze on the Server PC. Please refer to the Sentinel SuperPro System Administrator Help file for more detailed instructions for installing the license server.
12
Installing the License Server:

1. On the Server PC, run the Sentinel Protection Installer found on the Nemo Analyze installation CD and follow the instructions on the screen. 2. The server will be installed and it will run silently in the background. To verify that the installation was successful, go to the Control Panel (Start | Settings | Control Panel). Select Administrative Tools. Double-click the Services icon. Locate the Sentinel Protection Server service. If the server is running, its status will be shown as Started. 3. In the Server PC, connect the copy protection module provided in the product package in a parallel port.
Using the License Server:

1. After installing and configuring the License Server, start Nemo Analyze on a client PC. 2. When Nemo Analyze starts for the first time, it will ask for the IP address of the license server. Type in the IP address and click OK. The next time you start Nemo Analyze, it will automatically remember the server address. The license server uses TCP and UDP ports to communicate with the computers running Nemo Analyze. Please make sure that communication is allowed in the following ports: UDP port 6001 and TCP/HTTP port 6002.
Using the License Monitor:

1. Through the License Monitor you can view how many licenses are in use at a given time. You can access the License Monitor from a Client PC with a web browser. 2. In the address bar, type the IP address and the HTTP port number of the license server in the following format: 127.0.0.1:6002. The client must have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.1 or 1.4.2. The client must be running Internet Explorer version 5.0 (or higher) or Netscape Navigator version 4.6 (or higher).
13
Copy Protection Modules

When using Nemo Analyze, you can connect the copy protection module into parallel or USB port. Anite Finland Ltd provides a different kind of copy protection module for each port.
Connecting the copy protection module in the parallel port:

1. First, check the copy protection module type. See the label at the back of the module. It should read Parallel Port, KM-0064 or SP00858. 2. Plug the copy protection module into your computer's parallel port.
Do not plug the Parallel Port copy protection module in the serial port. It may damage your computer.
Connecting the copy protection module in the USB port:

1. First, check the copy protection module type. See the label on the module. It should read SPS00858. 2. Plug the copy protection module into your computer's USB port.
Do not plug the USB Port copy protection module in any other port. It may damage your computer.
14
Installation troubleshooting
1. Intel wireless LAN network card is not working after install (most likely in an IBM ThinkPad) The problem is caused by Crystal Reports having an older version of a file than the one Intel is using. Intel does not install the file as a system file but rather uses it from its own bin directory, and once Crystal Reports is installed, the Intel driver can no longer function correctly. To fix the problem you can run the following command in command prompt.
@ECHO OFF ECHO Rename the Crystal Reports Version rename C:\Windows\System32\libeay32.dll libeay32.dll.crystal.reports.version ECHO Copy Intel Version In Place copy "C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\libeay32.dll" C:\Windows\System32\libeay32.dll PAUSE
2. Nemo Analyze does not work due to inability to derive a pathname separator Some applications set their path to the system path in double quotes ( ), or uses two or more adjacent percentage marks (%) when referring to a variable. Nemo Analyze does not work if the system or user path contains double quotes or adjacent percentage marks. Note: you should never delete all percentage marks from a path! Single percentage marks should be left as they are, or else no software will function. Go to My Computer System Properties Advanced Environment Variables System Variables Path. Double-click the Path field to open the Edit System Variable dialog box, or click the Path field and Edit. If the path can also be found in the User Variables field, it also needs to be checked for double quotes and adjacent percentage marks. Here you see an example path which causes Analyze not to function. There are both adjacent percentage marks and double quotes in it. %SystemRoot%%%%\system32;%%%%SystemRoot%;%%SystemRoot%%\System32\Wbem;"C:\Pro gram Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel";
15
When the path contains these characters, the following error message appears when starting Nemo Analyze :
Copy the path from the Edit System Variable dialog box, and paste it in a text editor. Delete all the double quotes and extra percentage marks from the string. Paste the string back to its original location. Cick OK. Analyze will now function without a problem. Other programs will work as well, regardless of changes in the path.
16
STARTING NEMO ANALYZE

After running Setup, you will see a new Nemo Tools program group under the Programs selection in the Windows Start menu.
To start Nemo Analyze:

1. Double-click the Nemo Analyze.exe icon in My Computer or select it from the Start menu (StartProgramsNemo ToolsNemo Analyze 5). 2. When Nemo Analyze is starting, hold down the Shift key to prevent Nemo Analyze from loading a previously used workspace. 3. When the program starts, the window below will open. In the Welcome to Nemo Analyze workbook you will find useful information about Nemo Analyze, links to related documents, and shortcuts to loading measurement and BTS files.

USING NEMO ANALYZE

In Nemo Analyze you can view measurement data in multiple ways. The most convenient way, however, is to focus on the Workspace user interface since it is quick and easy. For example, in the workspace you can double-click a parameter, and Nemo Analyze opens the parameter automatically in the default data view. Furthermore, you can go to View Workbook Add Data View , choose a particular data view, select a measurement, and drag a parameter from the parameter tree in the data view. You can also view several parameters in the same data view by dragging them in it. If you drag a parameter in an empty workbook, a dialog box appears and asks you to select a data view type. If you drag a measurement file to a workbook with a data view, a dialog box emerges asking you to select the parameter you wish to view. The filter field above the parameter tree is useful when looking for a specific parameter in a long list. All data views are synchronized with each other based on time. Consequently, if you open two or more data views on the same measurement file but on different parameters simultaneously, and switch from one point of time in one data view to another point in time, the data in the other data views change accordingly.
18
WORKSPACE
The Workspace forms the basis of the user interface in Nemo Analyze. All measurements and parameters can be found in the workspace, and from there it is convenient to drag them in various data views. See also Using Nemo Analyze (p.17). The Workspace view is by default attached to the left-hand side of the Analyze main window. You can also drag it elsewhere in the window, and if you want to dock it back to the side of the main window, double-click on the Workspace. The Workspace view consists of five pages: Measurements, Base Stations, Maps, Data Source Files, and Reports pages, respectively. You can switch between these pages via the icon tabs at the bottom of the Workspace view. You cannot create sub-folders or otherwise edit these folders. The Measurements page in the Workspace is divided into three sections: Folders, Folder Contents, and the Parameter tree. The folders include the All Measurements folder, which shows all the files that are currently in the database, and other user-defined folders. The Folder Contents displays a list of all measurements in the folder selected in the Folders section. The name of the measurement device is also displayed when the mouse is hovered over a measurement file. The Parameter Tree shows all available parameters and KPIs for the selected file, measurement, or folder, depending on the selections in the other two sections. The KPIs can be displayed in graphs, maps, and other data views, and statistics can also be calculated from the parameter tree.
19
20
WORKSPACE FILTERS
In the Workspace there are two filter functions to assist the user in rapid location of measurement files or parameters. First, above the measurement files (see the red box) you can find the filter for measurement files. Type the name of the measurement file in the filter field to find the desired measurement file.
Second, above the parameter tree you can see the filter field for parameters. Type in the name of the parameter, and only parameters matching the name will be viewed in the parameter tree.
21
PARAMETER FILTERING
It is also possible to filter all parameters based on, for example, time and region. Select a measurement file, right-click a parameter in the parameter tree, and select Open With Filters in<dataview>. Here we will use L3 signaling as an example.
22
An empty workbook, and the Fill Parameters dialog box to define the filtering criteria appear.
In the Fill Parameters dialog you can further limit the query results by adding different filters. Filters can be applied to parameters that are part of the query. In this case, Data transfer direction with the value 1 is added. Click Next.
23
A grid with the parameter according to the specifications appears.
Use Case 1.: Polygon area selection

With parameter filtering it is also possible to limit a query based on a user-defined area, i.e. by Polygon area selection. As a consequence, the results of a query will be limited to the user-defined part of a measurement route in the chosen data view. This is useful, for example, when you want the values of a parameter to be viewed with a value-based color set only on a part of the route on a map. In this case, the rest of the measurement route will be colored with a default color. In this example we will select Ec/No best active set as the parameter.
24
Select a measurement file in the Workspace and type Ec/No best active set in the Parameter Tree filter field. Right-click on the parameter and select Open With Filters In Map.
An empty workbook and the Analyze Wizard - Fill Parameters dialog box appear. In the dialog box select Area under Name, and press the tab.
25
The Select Area dialog box appears. Select a map in the Filename field, or load one through the browse button. Next, define an area on the map using the left mouse button. The Save As button enables you to save the map with the selected area for later use. Click OK.
The Analyze Wizard Fill Parameters dialog box appears. Click Finish.
26
A new workbook opens. The measurement route on the map is colored with the Ec/No color set over the section of the route specified with the polygon area. The rest of the route is colored with the default color, here blue.
27

When you start Nemo Analyze 5.x for the first time, the database is empty. Adding files measurements, BTS files, and maps - to the database may take a while, but once files have been added, they will remain in the database until you remove them.
ADDING FILES TO DATABASE

Select File | Measurement | Open Measurement /Map/BTS/Report/Data Source File. From the Open dialog box, select the files you want to add to the database and click Open. You can select several files by holding down the Shift key. Note that adding files to the database may take several minutes depending on the number and size of the files. Note that all the files need to have unique file names. The added measurement files will appear in the All Measurements folder in the Workspace view in the left-hand side of the Nemo Analyze main window.
28
Adding Maps
In addition to adding map files in the database through File | Measurement | Open Map, you can import image files to be used as maps. Select File | | Import | Image as map. In the Open dialog, select the image that you want to use as a map. It can be, for example, a floorplan from a test site. After selecting the image file you need to define either the width and length of the map area in meters or the GPS coordinates for two map corners. After you click OK in the Map Import Parameters dialog, the map is added in the database and it will appear in the Maps folder in the workspace.
You can also create black and white copies of raster maps by right-clicking on a map in the workspace and selecting Create Black & White Copy. The map is saved with the same name with BW added at the end of the file name.
29
ORGANIZE MEASUREMENTS
By default, all added measurement files go into the All Measurements folder.
30
If you have a lot of files, it may be convenient to categorize measurement files into custom-made subfolders. In the Organize Measurements dialog you can conveniently handle and organize large sets of measurement files. Go to View in the Ribbonbar and select Organize Measurements, or rightclick on the All Measurements folder in the Workspace and select Organize.
In the Organize Measurements dialog you can create new folders, make joined measurements, and remove files from drag & drop folders. Right-click on a folder in the left-hand panel to create new folders. See the following chapters for information on the different folder types.
31
Select measurements, right-click on them, and select Join to create joined measurements. See page 38 for more information on joined measurements.
You can also organize measurements in the Workspace. Right-click on the All Measurements item and select Add Folder.
There are three types of folders you can add: Drag & Drop, Search, and Query.
32
Drag & Drop Folders

Drag & Drop folders are folders where you can drag files from the All Measurements folder. You can organize files, for example, by technology, time or place. When you drag and drop files from the All Measurements folder to the custom-made sub-folders, the files are only copied, i.e., the files will appear in two folders. The drag & drop folders are identified with a symbol.
The example shows a Workspace with two custom-made drag & drop folders named October 2006 and CDMA2000. The CDMA2000 folder has two files, and the October 2006 folder has four files, The same files are also in the All Measurements folder.
33
Search Folders
Search folders are folders where files are copied based on user-defined search criteria. The search folders are identified with a symbol. Right-click on the All Measurements folder, select Add Folder from the popup menu and Search to define the search criteria in the Search Folder Properties dialog. Name defines the search folder name. Auto-update when adding or removing measurements option enables the automatic updating of the search folder.
With the Search measurement title option you can search for specific measurement files using the filename. Define the Start date and End date and measurements made between these dates will be searched. With the Device type option you can search for mobile or scanner measurements. With the Area option you can search for measurements made on a defined area. To define the area, click the Define Area button. This opens the Select Polygon Area dialog below.
34
With Map | Filename you can select or browse for the map file you want to use. With Area | Name you can select a polygon area you have previously saved. With the Save, Save As and Delete buttons you can save an edited polygon area, save and name a new polygon area and delete a previously saved polygon area.
35
When you right-click on the map, a popup menu opens. Reset Area removes the polygon selection. With Area selected, you can select a polygon area. With Change Map you select another map.
In the Events page you can select the events you want to include in the search.
With the Mobile country code option you can search for measurements made in a certain country. With the Mobile network code option you can search for measurements made in a certain network.
36
With the System option you can search for measurements made in a certain system. With the Band option you can search for measurements made in a certain band.
Finally click OK and the measurements that match the search criteria are copied to the search folder.
37
Query Folders
Query folders are folders where files are added based on user-defined criteria, that is, queries. Once the query is defined, Nemo Analyze will go through the measurement files in the database and automatically add all relevant files to the query folder. Right-click on the All Measurements item, select Add Folder | Query. In the Query field, select the criteria according to which the files will be copied to the folder, e.g., Last Year. The folder will be named automatically, but if you wish to name the folder manually, clear the checkbox and type a name. If you want the folder to be updated automatically when files are added or removed from the database, select the Auto-update checkbox. Click OK.
38
Nemo Analyze creates the new folder, and the files that match the query criteria are copied to the folder. The query folders are identified with a symbol.
The example shows a Workspace with one custommade query folder named Last Year.
JOINED MEASUREMENTS
With Nemo Analyze it is possible to join separate measurement files into a joined measurement. Joined measurements will be handled as one measurement file. Note that you cannot join overlapping measurement files. Files must have been recorded at different times.
39
Right-click on All Measurements and select Add Joined Measurement.
In the Add Joined Measurement dialog, type a name for the joined measurement, e.g., 18 Jun 2006.
40
The joined measurement appears in the Workspace and you can now drag & drop measurement files in it. Joined measurements are identified with a symbol.
It is also possible to remove all measurements from the joined measurement file by right-clicking on the joined measurement file and selecting Remove All Joined Measurements.
41

Measurement data can be viewed in different kinds of data views, such as graphs, grids, numerical views, and maps. A workbook is a collection of data views and Nemo Analyze offers some readymade workbooks for analyzing measurement data. You can also easily make your own workbooks and save them for later use.
PARAMETER TREE
The fastest way to view measurement data is through the Parameter Tree. To open a parameter in its default view, select a measurement in the Workspace and then double-click a parameter in the parameter tree.
42
The selected parameter is opened in the default view. If you want to open the parameter in some other type of view, right-click on a parameter in the parameter tree and select the view type from the popup menu.
You can also drag and drop parameters in data views from the Parameter Tree. Nemo Analyze will if the data view is suitable for the parameter, and a red icon if the data display a green icon view is unsuitable. In the parameter tree you can search and filter parameters by typing the parameter name in the field at the top of the parameter tree view. The parameter tree will display only the defined parameters.
43
Some parameters require further definition before they can be viewed in any given data view. When opening these parameters in a data view, a dialog box appears asking for specifications applicable to the selected parameter. For example, if you want to view RX level full selected BSIC in a graph, in the Fill Parameters dialog you can select a BSIC value from the drop-down menu in the Value field. Click Finish, select the graph type, and the parameter is displayed in a graph according to the BSIC specifications.
The RX level full parameter values are shown according to BSIC value 18.
44
To produce parameter statistics, such as Average, Count, Standard Deviation, Variance, etc., based on measurement data, select a parameter and click on the corner of the Parameter Tree. The Parameter Launchpad view opens. Open in data view opens the parameter with the settings defined in the sections Presentation, Statistics and Details. Apply filters, if selected, opens a dialog for defining filters for the parameter after you have defined all the parameter settings and selected Open in data view . Open in defines the data view type used in displaying the parameter data. Statistics (see below) Details displays the parameter description if it exists. Change defaults enables you to change parameter default settings using the Change Defaults dialog (see p. 44). button displayed at the left bottom
From the Statistics submenu, you can open various parameter statistics in spreadsheet format. To include more than one parameter statistics type on the same spreadsheet, drag and drop each statistics type on the spreadsheet. Apply filters, if selected, opens a dialog for defining filters for the parameter once you drag and drop the parameter to a data view. Weight by defines whether the statistics are to be weighted by distance or by time. Group by defines how the statistics are to be grouped.
45
Change Defaults
Through the Parameter Tree view you can change the default color set and default scales for each parameter. Right-click on a parameter and select Change Defaults.
In the Change Defaults dialog, in the General page select the color set and define the top and bottom values for the scale.
46
In the Statistics page you can set the default settings for statistics on parameters.
The statistics are calculated over the value range defined using a Minimum and a Maximum. Interval defines the bins into which the values between the Minimum and the Maximum are divided. For example, you can follow the value of a parameter from the minimum to the maximum value at every 10 units. Values greater than or less than the Minimum and Maximum are inserted in the "" bins at the beginning and end of the scale respectively. Direction The direction of the cumulation tail in the x axis is opposite to the direction where the cumulation grows. Threshold The user can set a value which defines the limit after or before which (see Condition) a change in the parameter value will be of interest to the user. For example, when the threshold value in FER is higher than 50, the distribution of the values in percentages within the targeted value range will be shown in the bars. The percentage of the values which are higher than 50 will be shown in the aggregates window. Condition defines the whether the parameter value needs to be smaller than (<), smaller than or equal to (<=), bigger than (>), or bigger than or equal to (>=) the threshold value defined in Threshold, for the user to be notified of given occurrences in network performance.
47
Use Case 2.: Viewing Measurement Data in a Graph

This use case describes the steps for viewing measurement data in various graphs. It is assumed that there are measurement files in the database. Select a measurement in the workspace. You can locate a measurement file quickly by typing the name of the measurement file in the Filter field, which is marked by the red frame below. This filtering functionality for measurement files in the Workspace is especially useful with a large number of measurement files in the database, or in a specific folder. Select a measurement in the Workspace, right-click on a parameter and select OpenIn, e.g. Graph.
48
In the Choose Graph Type dialog, select the graph type in which you want to show the parameter, in this case a line graph.
The BLER parameter is opened in a line graph.
Use Case 3.: Viewing Data on a Map

This use case describes the steps for viewing measurement data on a map. For the purposes of this use case, it is assumed that there are measurement files and maps in the database. Select the Maps opens. icon from the panel below the Parameter Tree. The Maps page of the Workspace

Use Case 4.: Viewing IP Trace Data

This use case describes the steps for viewing IP trace data based on a measurement file and a corresponding IP trace (.pcap) file. Both files must be from the same measurement session with identical time stamps. First, a relevant workbook (e.g. HSDPA full details) is opened on the measurement file. Next, a separate workbook on the IP trace file corresponding with the measurement file. The two workbooks are automatically synchronized, enabling the correlation of events on the parameter level with events on the IP trace level. Note: In order for the synchronization of the two files to work, the time stamps of the measurement file and the IP trace (.pcap) file must be identical, i.e. both files have to be from the same exact measurement session.
Step 1: Open a Workbook Based on a Measurement File

Open a workbook based on a measurement file by right-clicking on the measurement file in the Device Menu and selecting a relevant workbook (e.g. HSDPA full details) from the popup menu.
A workbook is opened based on the measurement file.
52
Step 2: Load IP Trace Files (.pcap) into the Database

Next, select the IP Traces icon from the panel below the Parameter Tree. The IP Traces page of the Workspace opens. If there are no IP trace files on the IP Traces page, right-click on the page background and select Open from the popup menu.
The Open dialog opens.
Browse for .pcap files, select the files you want to load to the database, and click Open.
53
Step 3: Open an IP Trace Information Workbook Based on the Corresponding IP Trace File (.pcap)
The IP Traces page displays all .pcap files stored in the database. Double-click on the IP trace file that corresponds with the measurement you opened the measurement file workbook based on in Step 1.
The IP trace file is opened in a separate IP trace information workbook that is automatically synchronized with the measurement file workbook.
54
Step 4: View Synchronized Measurement and IP Trace Data

Go to the measurement file workbook and select an event that is of interest to you (e.g. a point in time where Throughput suddenly drops).
Switch back to the IP trace workbook and observe the IP trace messages surrounding the selected event (i.e. the possible problem causes on the IP level).

FILTERING DATA AND CREATING CUSTOM KPIS

Custom KPIs can be created either by correlating parameters using the Query Manager or, to create more complex KPIs, by using the KPI Workbench (see p. 214). With the correlate parameters functionality it is possible to create events based on complex search criteria, create events showing problems and reasons for problems, and create a CSV table from the measurement data for export purposes. You can create new Correlate parameters KPIs in the Query manager. In the Ribbonbar, select View | Query manager | Add | Correlate parameters. The created KPI will be added to the User-branch in the Parameter tree in the Workspace. The correlate parameters functionality can also be used for creating a custom KPI by right-clicking on a device in the Workspace, and selecting Correlate Parameters, and Next. In this case the new KPI will not be saved. Right-click on a device in the Workspace, and select Correlate Parameters.
56
In the Correlate Parameters dialog, select the parameters that you want to correlate. You can add two or more parameters in the Selected view. There are three different Modes available: Show values when first parameter changes (left outer join), Show values when any of the parameters changes (outer join), and Show values when all parameters are valid (inner join). The Show values when first parameter changes (left outer join) mode creates an output row for every value of the first selected parameter. For other selected parameters, it gives the current, previous, or next value from the time stamp of the first parameter. This mode can used to find all events of a certain type in the measurement data, and the values of other parameters at the time the event occurred. For example, it can be used to find all dropped calls (the first parameter), the last TX power, Best active Ec/No, and Best active RSCP values prior to each drop.
After selecting the parameters to be correlated, click Next. In this example you can find six different parameters in the Selected view, Call dropped, Percentage of DL power up commands, Percentage of UL power up commands, Ec/No best active set, and RSCP best active set.
DATA VIEWS
57
Select the data view in which the data will be displayed, for example, a grid, and click Finish. The correlation data is opened in the selected data view.
The Show values when any of the parameters changes (outer join) mode creates an output row when any of the selected parameters changes. This mode can also be used when exporting data to Excel. In the example below, there are three parameters in the Selected view, RX level full, Ec/No best active set, and BLER. Click Next. The correlation data is opened in the selected data view.
58
As you can see, there are no values for RX level full and RAC in rows 4600-4616, and no values for Ec/No and BLER in rows 4614-4620.
The Show values when all parameters are valid (inner join) mode creates an output row when any of the selected parameters changes, and all the parameters are valid. This mode can be used when generating input for scatter graph, or when creating events based on custom search criteria. In the example below you can see a custom KPI: all rows where Ec/No < -7, BLER, and RSCP < -79 are shown.

DRILL-DOWN
The Troubleshooting toolkit with drill-down is an optional component of Nemo Analyze. When a query has been performed with one of the Troubleshooting parameters from the Parameter Tree, it is possible to drill down into further event detail from the data view created by the query. With pie charts, you can do this by double-clicking a sector of the pie chart or a sector color in the pie chart legend. As each sector represents a problem cause, double-clicking a sector will open a grid with a list of all problem events caused by that particular problem cause. Each drill-down from the same chart will open a new tab in the same window. These tabs are displayed on the left side of the window with the colors of the corresponding sectors.
Open tabs representing results of drill-downs from different sectors of this pie chart. The colors correspond with the pie chart sector colors.
For example, green color represents RACH Failure, unknown reason on the pie chart above. To drilldown to the details of events where a RACH failure has occurred because of an unknown reason, double-click either the green sector on the chart or the text Failure, unknown reason on the chart legend.
DATA VIEWS
61
This opens a grid where all failure events in the measurement data resulting from an unknown reason are gathered (see below). This grid will be represented by a green tab on the left of the window in the pie chart view.
Click blue arrow to return to the pie chart.
Click green tab to return to this grid from the pie chart.
Before drilling down into a single row of a grid, you can set a time range for log entries before and after the selected event that are to be included in the drill-down. To set a time range, select Tools | Drill-down from the Ribbonbar and enter the time range in seconds in the Before and After fields.
62
To drill-down into a single row of a grid, either double-click or right-click on the selected row. Doubleclick will perform the drill-down if there are default drill-down parameters that are compatible with the measurement data on that particular row. If however there are not, you can either right-click on the selected row and select Drill-Down | Pick Parameter to drill-down into the data on that row with other parameters, or open the row in a separate workbook by right-clicking on the row and selecting DrillDown | [workbook] (e.g. UMTS | UMTS Troubleshooting.)
Each drill-down opens the selected time range of measurement data with the selected new parameters in new tabs on the second tab row.

DATA VIEWS
In this chapter are explained the various types of data views available in Nemo Analyze. In Nemo Analyze synchronization is used to keep the different data views in sync. When you click any view containing data, all the other views jump to the same point of time. Nemo Analyze also offers the convenience of the so-called drag & drop function. You can easily drag measurements or measurement parameters from the Workspace in the various data views. Thus, one data view can contain many different parameters from one or more measurement files. When you right-click on any of the data views, a popup menu will open up. The menu offers access to all functions and tools related to that data view. The contents of the menu vary depending on the data view type (graph, grid, map, etc.) but some of the items are common to all data views.

142
Creating formulas
You can enter a formula in any cell on the spreadsheet. The creation of a formula always begins with the equal sign (=). The next element identifies the mathematical function, e.g. AVG stands for the function Average. For more functions, see Adding Functions on page 143. =AVG The rest of the formula defines the source data for the function and is placed within brackets. =AVG() If the cells containing the source data for the function are located on another sheet, it is first necessary to identify the location of the data by entering the sheet name followed by the exclamation mark (!). =AVG(Sheet 2!) If the cells containing the source data for the function are located within a separate data set on the same spreadsheet, it is first necessary to identify the location of the data by entering the data set name (e.g. the name of a query opened on the spreadsheet) preceded by the asterisk (*) and followed by the exclamation mark (!). =AVG(*BLER DL!) Next, a reference to the actual cells is added. A cell is referred to by a combination of the column letter and the row number that intersect at the cells location, e.g. A1. To refer to a range of cells, first identify the start point of the range (i.e. the first cell in the range), and separate it from the end point (i.e. last cell in the range) with a colon (:). If the range covers multiple columns, the start and end point references should be to the cells in the upper left and lower right corners of the range. =AVG(*BLER DL!A1:D555) If the range covers all cells in a column, the range can be referred to by using just the column letter as both the start and end point, instead of referring to individual cells with row numbers. =AVG(*BLER DL!A:A) To refer to more than one cell range, separate each range with a semicolon (;). =AVG(*BLER DL!A1:B12;C10:D16) For information on the general format of spreadsheet formulas, see one of the numerous helps and guides for spreadsheet applications available on the internet.

Use Case 12.: Retrieving Data from Minimized Data Sets

It is possible to minimize parameter data sets on a spreadsheet to take up the space of only one cell. For minimizing data sets, see Editing cell format on page 137. To retrieve data from a minimized table, you first have to know which column in the maximized data set contains the data you want to retrieve. The first column in a separate data set is always considered to be Column A, the second Column B, etc., no matter how the data set is situated on the spreadsheet. Thus, if you are retrieving data from the first column of a minimized table, you are interested in the contents of Column A. The name of the query (i.e. the parameter data set that has been opened on the spreadsheet) has to be known as well in order for you to be able to refer to the right data set. The creation of a formula for data retrieval begins with the equal sign (=) to identify the string as a formula. Next, add the operator of the mathematical function you want to use. For instance, with the function Average, the operator is AVG. For more functions, see Adding Functions on page 143. Next, within brackets, define the data set on which the mathematical function is to be run. The data set definition string is generally of the following format: open bracket, asterisk, query name, exclamation mark, reference to the first cell in the range, colon, reference to the last cell in the range, and closed bracket. Thus, a formula for calculating an average based on values on rows 1-15 in Column A of the BLER DL data set would be of the following format: =AVG(*BLER DL!A1:A15). For more information on formulas, see Creating formulas on page 142.

Use Case 13.: Creating Reports and Report Templates Using Spreadsheets
It is possible to create reports on spreadsheets and save them as report templates. These report templates can then be run on all measurement files that contain the events the report has been defined to look for. Select View | Workbook | Spreadsheets in the Ribbonbar to open an empty spreadsheet.
On the empty spreadsheet, create a layout for the report.
148
In Workspace, select a measurement and the parameter you want to add on the report. Click on the button to open the Parameter Launchpad.
In Parameter Launchpad, click on Statistics for a list of aggregates, select an aggregate (e.g. Count) from the list and drag and drop it to the cell you have designated for it in the spreadsheet layout.
DATA VIEWS
149
Repeat the procedure with other relevant parameters until they are all on the spreadsheet.
If the report you are creating requires mathematical operations, select the cell you have designated for an operation and enter the appropriate formula into it. In the present example, the count of connected calls has to be divided by the count of call attempts to produce a ratio of successful calls. In order to present the ratio as a call success rate percentage, the result of the division has to be multiplied by hundred. At this point, the formula is of the following format: =((C3/C2)*100). For information on the general format of spreadsheet formulas, see one of the numerous helps and guides for spreadsheet applications available on the internet. Because division as an arithmetic operation always requires that the divisor (i.e. the cell C2) is not zero and because in a report of this type it is possible that the result of the count operation in C2 will be the value zero (i.e. if there are no call attempts), an additional condition following the format if C2 is zero, the result of the division is zero has to be created to prevent the error that would otherwise occur. In spreadsheet formulas, this will be expressed in the following format: =IF(C2;((C3/C2)*100);0).
150
If the result of the calculation is displayed in a format unsuitable for the value type (e.g. a percentage is displayed with multiple decimals), right-click on the cell containing the value, and select Format Cells from the popup menu. The Number tab of the Format Cells dialog opens.
Select a number format suitable for the value type, define the number of decimals to be displayed, and click OK. The report is now complete.

QUERY MANAGER
Queries are sets of rules based on which data is retrieved from the database, and then displayed in the various views in Nemo Analyze. There is a wide range of queries ready in Nemo Analyze that will assist you in your day-to-day data analysis but it is also possible to create new queries. You should not limit a query to certain measurement file(s), as Nemo Analyze limits the query automatically to the measurement files required. This way the query is not statically limited to some predefined measurement file or files, but instead, it can be run over any given measurement file or files in the database. Select View | Tools | Queries in the Ribbonbar to open the Query Manager.
In the Query Manager dialog, select the User item and click Add.
There are different types of queries: you can select a measurement parameter from a list (Pick measurement parameter), select query data from tables (Generic query wizard), or type the query string manually (Manual query).

KPI WORKBENCH
The KPI Workbench makes it possible to create custom KPIs by dragging and dropping parameters, correlations and sort elements to the Workbench, defining their properties, and connecting them into a logical flow chart. The KPI Workbench is part of the Troubleshooting Toolkit option. Select View | KPI Workbench in the Ribbonbar to open the KPI Workbench.
TOOLS
215
The KPI Workbench view opens.
To clear the Workbench view, right-click on the Workbench background and select New Script from the popup menu. To run the KPI on a measurement file, right-click on the Workbench background and select Run Script from the popup menu. For further instructions, see p.246. To save the KPI, right-click on the Workbench background and select Save from the popup menu. For further instructions, see p.249.
Designing Custom KPIs

The first step of creating custom KPIs should always be careful planning. First, determine what the KPI is supposed to do, i.e. what kind of data the output should consist of. Next, determine what kind of raw data parameters are needed to produce the right kind of output. You can either drag and drop the appropriate parameters to the Workbench from the Parameter Tree on the bottom left of the screen or you can create custom ones by dragging and dropping a Parameter element to the Workbench view from the menu structure on the right and defining the parameter using the Query Manager.
Parameter
A parameter is a data set in tabular format that has a column containing parameter values and typically other columns such as time, coordinates, system, etc. To create custom parameters to form the basis for the new custom KPI, drag and drop the Parameter element from the menu structure to the Workbench view. This will open the Query Manager and enable you to customize and optimize parameters by selecting only the relevant columns to be included in the parameter output. For more instructions on the use of the Query Manager, see p. 203.
216
If there is no need to customize parameters, select default parameters from the Parameter Tree on the bottom left of the screen and drag and drop them to the Workbench view.
Combining Raw Data Sets

Parameter elements consist of measurement data in tabular format. Thus, the raw data parameter Rx Level is a table with the columns rx level, time, latitude, longitude, etc. If you need more than one raw data parameter, it is usually necessary to combine these data sets or tables into a single table before you can perform any arithmetic operations on or between them. Determine which method of combination would be the most useful in terms of the operations you are going to use. Note: Because different operations often have different requirements on the method of how the data sets are combined, it is important that the phases Combining Raw Data Sets and Adding Operations are planned together. With operations that correlate parameters or search values from different parameters from the time range of a particular data set (namely the correlations Previous, Next and Current Value and All Values Within Time Range), it is important that the primary data set is placed on the extreme left compared to the other parameters or data sets connected to the same correlation, operation, etc. For instance, with the correlation Left Outer Join, all data entries from the data set on the left are included in the output, and from the secondary parameters or data sets, only the ones that match those of the primary data set. Similarly, the correlation All Values Within Time Range produces all values of the secondary parameters from the time range of the primary (leftmost) parameter or data set.
Primary parameter
Secondary parameter
Correlation Connecting elements by dragging connector lines from output nodes to input nodes
In the example above, the Previous Value element is used to examine values of a secondary data set in relation to the primary data set, the parameter Call Attempt Failure. Thus, the values of the secondary parameter Ec/No Active Set are examined from a time range determined by both the correlation Previous Value and the primary data set Call Attempt Failure. As the primary data set Call Attempt Failure consists solely of call attempt failure events and the correlation Previous Value produces only those values of the secondary parameter Ec/No Active Set that immediately precede events in the primary parameter, the output will consist of Ec/No Active Set values preceding the start time of each Call Attempt Failure event.
TOOLS
217
To connect the various KPI elements to each other, connect output nodes to input nodes by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of one element and holding it down while dragging the connector line to the input node of the other element. To connect the same set of data to several different operations, simply draw as many connector lines as needed from the output node of the data set (see picture below).
Once connected, the elements will turn green to signify that they are operational. If an element remains red, it requires further configuration. Right-click the element and select Properties from the popup menu. For more information on configuring individual elements, see the related topic below.
Previous Value, Current Value and Next Value

The Previous Value, Current Value and Next Value elements are used in examining values of secondary data sets from points in time determined by a primary data set. This makes it possible to examine based on one to many secondary parameters what occurred in the network before, during, or after parameter events in the primary data set. Previous Value produces only the previous value immediately before the start time of the parameter events in the primary data set, Current Value only the current value during the parameter events, and Next Value only the next value immediately after the events.
To add a Previous/Current/Next Value element to the KPI, first make sure that the primary parameter or data set is situated the leftmost compared to the secondary parameters whose values are to be examined.
218
Drag and drop the Previous/Current/Next Value element to the Workbench. Connect the primary data set to the leftmost input node of the Previous/Current/Next Value element.
Connect the secondary parameters (i.e. the parameters whose previous/current/next values are to be examined from points in time determined by the primary parameter) to the other input nodes of the Previous/Current/Next value element.
TOOLS
219
The Previous/Current/Next Value element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu.
The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. For more information on the Select Measurement dialog, see Running and Testing KPIs on p. 246.
220
All Values Within Time Range

All Values Within Time Range, as compared to Previous, Current, and Next Value elements that produce only one value, produces all values from the secondary parameters from the time range of the primary (leftmost) parameter or data set. Generally all RF parameters of the Nemo file format have a time range. This is because the Nemo measurement file format is time-based as opposed to sample-based. In other words, a new sample is created on a timeline only when changes occur in the monitored parameter and the temporal length of the samples depends entirely on how often changes occur in the parameter value. Event parameters (such as dropped call, call attempt failure, and cell reselection) do not have a time range as they represent events that occur at a point in time. A major difference between All Values Within Time Range and the other join elements (namely Inner Join, Left Outer Join, and Union) is that All Values Within Time Range combines the data based on time, whereas these other join elements do this based on matching values in the data sets. To add an All Values Within Time Range element to the KPI, first make sure that the primary parameter or data set is situated the leftmost compared to the secondary parameters whose values are to be examined from the time range determined by the primary element. Drag and drop the All Values Within Time Range element to the Workbench. Connect the primary parameter or data set to the leftmost input node of the All Values Within Time Range element. Connect the secondary parameters or data sets (i.e. the parameters whose values are to be examined from a time range determined by the primary parameter) to the other input nodes of the element.
TOOLS
221
The All Values Within Time Range element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. For more information on the Select Measurement dialog, see Running and Testing KPIs on p. 246.
Inner Join
Inner Join can combine two sets of data that share a join value (such as identification code, channel number or scrambling code) defined by the user. Only the rows containing a matching join value will be included in the output. For instance, if two parameters both contain scrambling code information, the parameters can be joined using Inner Join by defining scrambling code as the join value. All rows with a scrambling code value that does not match with any of the scrambling code values in the other data set, and those containing a null value in the scrambling code column, will not be included in the output. To add an Inner Join element to the KPI, first open both of the data sets that are to be combined on a grid (for opening measurements on a grid, see Viewing Measurement Data on p.41) and consider which join values (such as identification code, channel number, scrambling code, etc.) you can use as a basis for the join, i.e. what values do the data sets have in common, what values would form a logical basis for the join in terms of the KPIs purpose, etc. In the example screenshots below, the two tables can be joined based on the scrambling code values they share.
Drag and drop the Inner Join element to the Workbench.
222
Connect the data sets that are to be combined to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Inner Join element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Inner Join element. Right-click the Inner Join element and select Properties from the popup menu.
From the Join tab of the Properties dialog, select the join values (i.e. the values that form the basis for the join) using the Left column and Right column drop-down menus. After you have defined the properties of the Inner Join element, click OK, and the element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu.
TOOLS
223
Left Outer Join

Left Outer Join can combine two sets of data that share a join value (such as identification code, channel number or scrambling code) defined by the user. From the leftmost set of data, all rows are always included. From the secondary data set, only the rows containing join values that match rows in the leftmost set of data will be included in the output. For instance, if two parameters both contain scrambling code information, the parameters can be joined with Left Outer Join by defining scrambling code as the join value. All rows from the leftmost parameter are included in the output. From the secondary parameter, only the rows with scrambling codes that match with those of the left parameter are included. To add a Left Outer Join element to the KPI, first open both of the data sets that are to be combined on a grid and consider which join values (such as identification code, channel number or scrambling code) you can use as a basis for the join, i.e. what values do the data sets have in common, what values would form a logical basis for the join in terms of the KPIs purpose, etc. Drag and drop the Left Outer Join element to the Workbench. Connect the data sets that are to be combined to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Left Outer Join element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Left Outer Join element. Right-click the Left Outer Join element and select Properties from the popup menu.
224
Note: Depending on the input data sets, it may sometimes be necessary to group the input data sets based on the join value before using Left Outer Join to combine them. In the screenshot below, both input data sets have been grouped by scrambling code because scrambling code is going to be used as the Left Outer Join join value.
TOOLS
225
From the Join tab of the Properties dialog, select the join values (i.e. the values that form the basis for the join) using the Left column and Right column drop-down menus.
After you have defined the properties of the Left Outer Join element, click OK, and the element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu.
226
Union
Union joins two or several sets of data, with or without matching rows, into a single data set without removing any duplicate rows. Same-named columns containing data of the same type (e.g. both contain a string) are combined into a single column. Otherwise, each data set forms a new column into the resulting data set. Because the rows and columns in the resulting data set are in no particular order, it is often necessary to sort the resulting table based on, for instance, time in order to produce meaningful results. To add a Union element, drag and drop the Union element to the Workbench.
TOOLS
227
Connect the data sets that are to be combined to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Union element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Union element.
The Union element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Because the rows and columns in the unified data set are in no particular order, it is often necessary to sort the resulting table based on, for instance, time in order to produce meaningful results. To add a sort element, drag and drop either Ascending or Descending sort element to the Workbench. Connect the Union element to the sort element. Define the sort elements properties by right-clicking the element and selecting Properties. For more information on defining the sort elements properties, see p.244.
228
Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu.
Cartesian Product
Cartesian Product (or Cross Join) combines all rows from two or more data sets, producing a row for each possible combination. For the purposes of the KPI Workbench, Cartesian Product is most commonly used in combining two or more sets of data that are both known to contain only a single row of data (such as the results of Aggregate functions) into separate columns on a single row. To add a Cartesian Product element, drag and drop the Cartesian Product element to the Workbench.
TOOLS
229
Connect the data sets that are to be combined to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Cartesian Product element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Cartesian Product element.
The element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu.
230
Adding Operations
Once you have combined all the necessary raw data sets into a single table, use the state machine, arithmetic operations, filters, or a combination of these, to determine how the raw data is to be processed by the KPI. As the various KPI elements can be used together in countless different and complex combinations (with complex state machines, aggregate functions, Cartesian products, sort elements, etc.), you need to determine what correlations and operations are required and how they should interact in order to isolate only the relevant parts of the measurement data. For instance, whether a state machine needed, and if it is, what states would be relevant in terms of the data you are looking for, how should the transitions from state to state be triggered, what entries in the data would be the most logical or useful triggers for these transitions, etc. With the State Machine and other more complicated operations it is often necessary to first open a sample of the kind of measurement data the KPI is intended for with suitable parameters on a grid to determine how the data progresses and for instance what data entries should be used as triggers to obtain the most accurate results. For opening measurements on a grid, see Viewing Measurement Data on p.41. It is also worth noting that some operations may require a value (e.g. a transition trigger in state machine) to be defined when defining the operations properties. Entering a value to a field of this type can prove restricting in terms of the various different purposes the KPI could otherwise be used for. To avoid this problem and effectively create a more versatile KPI with values that can be entered later on based on the requirements of the KPIs each individual application, define each value as a variable by entering the string {?<variable name>} to the value field. This way, the program will prompt the user to define a value for each value defined as a variable every time the KPI is run. This makes it possible, for instance, to create a generic state machine to calculate the delay from any one L3 signaling message to any another. The state machine will prompt the user to define the two signaling messages each time the KPI is run, enabling the same KPI to be used for calculating delays between any number of different signaling message pairs. It should also be kept in mind that the Nemo file format is time-based as opposed to sample-based (see All Values Within Time Range p. 220). Because of this, operations should always be weighted by time when applicable. If the results are not weighted by time, it will not be possible to know how long a particular parameter value has been valid and the results of operations such as Average and Count will not be accurate.
Aggregate Functions
Aggregate functions include Minimum, Maximum, Average, Sum, and Count. Aggregates are simple functions used for producing minimum and maximum values, averages, sums, and counts (number of samples, values, etc.) from data sets. The same steps are taken in defining all of them. To add an aggregate element to the KPI, drag and drop the element to the Workbench.
TOOLS
231
Connect the data set(s) on which the calculation is to be performed to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the aggregate element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the aggregate element.
Right-click the aggregate element and select Properties from the popup menu. The Aggregate tab of the Properties dialog opens.
Column defines the column on which the calculation is going to be performed. In most cases, the parameter present in the list (such as BLER, ec/no, etc.) is selected. The symbol * is selected only with the aggregate function Count when null values are to be included in the count. If null values are to be left out of the count, select the parameter. Group by defines how the value type defined in Column is to be grouped. For instance, when calculating an Ec/No average per scrambling code, the aggregate function Average would have the following settings: Column: ec/no, Group by: scrambling_code, and Weight by: time.
232
Weight by defines the how the calculation is to be weighted, i.e. by time, distance (based on GPS coordinates), etc. Weight by is usually used only with the aggregate functions Average and Count. Note: Because the Nemo measurement file format is time-based as opposed to samplebased (i.e. a sample is created on a timeline only when changes occur in the monitored parameters), the aggregate functions Average and Count should be weighted by time in order to obtain accurate results. Result title defines a title for the result. Without a title, the aggregate element will not be operational. Define the properties of the aggregate function and click OK. The element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu.
Filter
Filter makes it possible to filter out all the values from a data set that do not fulfill a defined condition. For instance, a filter for Scrambling Code <= 2 would AND Scrambling Code > 0 would filter out all other scrambling codes than 1 and 2. To add a Filter element to the KPI, drag and drop the Filter element to the Workbench. Connect the data set to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Filter element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Filter element. Right-click the Filter element and select Properties from the popup menu. From the Filter tab in the Properties dialog, click the Add button to add a filter.
TOOLS
233
The Filter Properties dialog opens.
Logical connectors are active only when more than one filter is defined. Logical connectors define the relationship between two or more filters. Column defines the grid column (in the input data set) that contains the values that are compared to Value based on the rule defined in Operator. Operator defines the rule that determines which values are filtered out. For instance, with Scrambling Code (Column) <= 2 (Value), all the values that do not fulfil the condition of being smaller than or equal to 2 are filtered out. Value defines the limit value that the Operator compares to the Column value. To define the value as a variable (i.e. the value is to be defined by the user each time the KPI is run), enter the string {?<variable name>} to the value field. Define Filter properties and select OK. The Filter element changes color from red to green, which means that it is operational. Test the operation of the KPI this far by connecting it to the Output element (even if you are still going to add more elements), right-clicking on the Workbench background and selecting Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. For more information on the Select Measurement dialog, see Running and Testing KPIs on p. 246.
234
Filters: Top-N, Bottom-N, Nth Best, and Nth Worst
Top-N and Bottom-N list a defined number of best/worst entries in a predefined column of a data set, filtering out all other data entries. Nth Best and Nth Worst produce only the Nth best/Nth worst value entry from a defined column in a data set. To add a filter element to the KPI, drag and drop the element to the Workbench. Connect the data set(s) on which the calculation is to be performed to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the filter element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the filter element.
Right-click the filter element and select Properties from the popup menu.
TOOLS
235
The Nth tab of the Properties dialog opens.
N enables you, depending on the filter, either to define the number of best/worst data entries to be listed from a column in a data set, or to specify the position on such list that is of interest to you (i.e. the Nth best/worst value of a column in a data set). Column defines the column from which the filter will, depending on the filter, produce either an N number of best or worst value entries (i.e. Top-N, Bottom-N) or the Nth best/worst value (i.e. Nth Best, Nth Worst). In most cases, the parameter present in the list (such as BLER, ec/no, etc.) is selected. Group by defines how the value type defined in Column is to be grouped. For instance, to produce the best two Ec/No values per each scrambling code, the Top-N filter would have the following settings: N: 2, Column: ec/no, Group by: scrambling_code. Define the properties of the filter and click OK.
236
The element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu.
Case
With Case, the user can create rules that filter and divert different values from the data set to different output nodes, making it possible to direct these values to different operations or to examine them separately in the final output. Each of the output nodes filters out all the values that are not in accordance with the rule defining the node. To add a Case element to the KPI, drag and drop the Case element to the Workbench. Connect the data set to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Case element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Case element. Right-click the Case element and select Properties from the popup menu. From the Flow Control tab in the Properties dialog, click the Add button to add a rule.
TOOLS
237
The Rule Properties dialog opens.
Name defines a name for the rule. Column defines the grid column (in the input data set) that contains the values that are compared to Value based on the rule defined in Operator. Operator defines the rule that determines which values are filtered out. For instance, with Scrambling Code (Column) <= 2 (Value), all the values that do not fulfill the condition of being smaller than or equal to 2 are filtered out. Value defines the limit value that the Operator compares to the Column value. To define the value as a variable (i.e. the value is to be defined by the user each time the KPI is run), enter the string {?<variable name>} to the value field. Define Case properties and select OK. The Rule Properties dialog closes. To create another rule, click the Add button again in the Properties dialog and define properties for the rule. In the example screenshot below, two rules have been defined, each represented by an output node of the Case element.

The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. For more information on the Select Measurement dialog, see Running and Testing KPIs on p. 246.
Moving Average
Moving Average calculates value averages based on a user-defined number of samples surrounding each value. In practice, this removes anomalies from, for instance, a graph, making it more stable and explicit. To add a Moving Average element to the KPI, drag and drop the Moving Average element to the Workbench. Connect the data set to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Moving Average element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Moving Average element. To define Moving Average properties, right-click the Moving Average element and select Properties from the popup menu.
TOOLS
239
The Running Function tab of the Properties dialog opens.
Column defines the grid column (in the input data set) from which the moving average is to be calculated. Samples defines how many surrounding values will be sampled when calculating the average for each point in time. Define Moving Average properties and select OK. The element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. For more information on the Select Measurement dialog, see Running and Testing KPIs on p. 246.
Conversion
Conversion enables the user to convert value formats between integer, real (i.e. decimal) and string (i.e. text). If, for instance, a division is to be performed for data entries defined as integer values, it may be useful to convert these values to real format before the division to avoid rounded and thus inaccurate results. Also, if it is known that data entries have been falsely defined as being of string (i.e. text) data type but in reality consist of numbers, conversion can be used to convert the data type to numbers (i.e. either integer or real, depending on whether the entries contain integer or decimal values.) To add a Conversion element to the KPI, drag and drop the Conversion element to the Workbench. Connect the data set to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Conversion element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Conversion element.
240
To define Conversion properties, right-click the Conversion element and select Properties from the popup menu. The Conversion tab of the Properties dialog opens.
Column defines the grid column (in the input data set) that contains the values that are to be converted. Target type defines the target data type to which the data within the column (defined in Column) will be converted. Possible target types include integer, real (i.e. decimal), and string (i.e. text). After you have defined the properties of the Conversion element, click OK, and the element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is now operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. For more information on the Select Measurement dialog, see Running and Testing KPIs on p. 246.
State Machine
State Machine makes it possible to define and isolate specific states, and transitions between them, from a single data set. It can be used, for instance, for examining the start and the end of particular events, the duration of such events, values of other parameters before, during and after these events, etc. For the state machine to work properly, it is recommended that the states and transitions are conceptually mapped (e.g. in the form of a flow chart, with references to events that trigger the transitions and define the boundaries of states) beforehand based on grid data. Open the data set you are interested in on a grid (for opening measurements on a grid, see Viewing Measurement Data on p.41 ) and decide which value, signaling message name, event_ID, etc. is going to trigger which transition between which states. For instance, a transition could be triggered by an Ec/No value or an L3 signaling Message Name.
TOOLS
241
It is also very important that there is always a returning transition from each state in case the conditions of the transitions to the state are not fulfilled anymore. This ensures accurate results and the correct operation of the state machine.
BLER >= 20 OK Bad BLER
Ec/No difference <0 Missing handover
BLER < 20
Ec/No difference > 0
BLER < 20
After the operation of the State Machine has been conceptually mapped (see flow chart above), drag and drop State Machine to the Workbench. With State Machine it is important that the input data set is sorted based on time. Open the data set you are interested in on a grid and check whether it is sorted by time. If not, sort the input data set based on time by adding a sort element (i.e. Ascending or Descending, see p. 244) between the input data set and the State Machine. Connect the data set to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the State Machine element by pressing the mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the State Machine element.
242
Right-click the State Machine element and select Properties from the popup menu. From the State Machine tab of the Properties dialog, click the Add button.
The State dialog opens.
Enter a name for the state in the Name field and click OK. The State dialog closes. To create another state, click the Add button again in the Properties dialog. Note: Repeat these steps until you have created all the states you are going to need. You should have at least an idle state (i.e. a state that is not of interest to you) and an active state (i.e. a state that is in the focus of your analysis).
TOOLS
243
Next, select the idle state as the Initial State from the drop-down menu. To start defining transitions between states, select one of the states and click the Modify button.
The State dialog opens. Click the Add button. The Transition dialog opens.
Column defines the grid column (in the input data set) that contains the values that are compared to Value based on the rule defined in Operator. Operator defines the rule that determines what kind of relationship there has to exist between the values in Value and Column for the transition to be triggered (and for the present state to end). For instance, with the L3 Signaling message (Column) = CALL ATTEMPT (Value), the transition to the next state occurs when the value CALL ATTEMPT is found in the column L3 Signaling. Value defines the value that triggers the transition, i.e. the end of one state and the beginning of a new one. To define the value as a variable (i.e. the value is to be defined by the user each time the KPI is run), enter the string {?<variable name>} to the value field. Note that each transition should have a unique variable name. Target defines the state to which the transition occurs. Output defines a title for the state that will be displayed in the final output data set. If the field is left blank, no output will be generated from this transition. For instance, with the idle state, leave this field blank. With the state(s) that interest you, be sure to define a title for the state. The output data set generated based on a state is defined as follows. When a transition occurs from the state x to another state, the point in time when the transition occurred to the state x (start_time), the point in time when
244
the transition occurred from the state x, and the time in milliseconds that passed while in the state x (time_interval) are recorded in the output data set. Thus, the output data set of the state x is generated from the time interval between the transition to the state and the transition from it to the next state. After the transition has been defined, click OK. This leaves the State dialog open. To define another transition from the same state, click the Add button again, and a new Transition dialog opens. When you have defined all of the transitions from this state, click OK to return to the Properties dialog. Repeat the steps to define transitions from each state you have created. Finally, when all the transitions have been defined, click OK in the Properties dialog. The State Machine element changes color from red to green, signifying that the element is operational. Even if you are still going to add more elements to the KPI, it is recommended to test the operation of the KPI at this point by connecting it to the Output element, right-clicking on the Workbench background, and selecting Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. For more information on the Select Measurement dialog, see Running and Testing KPIs on p. 246.
Sort Elements
The sort elements Ascending and Descending respectively change the order of values in a data set to ascending and descending based on a user-defined value (e.g. time). To add a sort element to the KPI, drag and drop the sort element (either Ascending or Descending) to the Workbench. Connect the data set to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the Ascending element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the Ascending element. To define a sorting value, right-click the Ascending sort element and select Properties from the popup menu.

Mathematical Functions
Mathematical functions enable the performing of arithmetic operations such as addition (+),subtraction (-),multiplication (*),division (/),modulation (%) (i.e. calculating the remainder of a division of one number by another), and left (<<) and right (>>) bit shifting either on single data sets or between two data sets. To add a mathematical function to the KPI, drag and drop a math element to the Workbench. Connect the data set on which the calculation is to be performed to the upper (i.e. input) nodes of the math element by pressing the left mouse button down on the output node of each data set and holding down the mouse button while dragging a connector line from the data set output node to the input node of the math element.

Once the script has been successfully run, there is a good opportunity for fine-tuning the KPI based on the output, for instance, by adding a sort element to the KPI to make the results more explicit, defining even more optimal states and triggers if using the state machine, or further filtering the data if the output still contains irrelevant information. Ideally, the KPI should produce only the target data without any irrelevant information and in as explicit form as possible.

Use Case 14.: Creating a KPI for Dropped Calls Resulting from a Missing Handover
This use case describes the steps for creating a KPI for dropped calls resulting from a missing handover. To open the KPI Workbench, select View | KPI Workbench from the Ribbonbar.
Step 1: Planning and Adding Parameters

First you need to consider what parameters would be the best indicators of a missing handover. This sort of situations can occur for instance in downtown areas where a corner of a building may instantly block the coverage of the serving cell, giving it no time to signal the next cell of a handover. Typically, when a missing handover occurs, two parameters are affected almost simultaneously: block error ratio value rises and the Ec/No value of the active set falls below that of the monitored set. With the latter case, you need to consider what kind of calculation and which parameters are needed to produce this sort of value. Thus, the relevant parameters are BLER and, to be able to compare the Ec/No value of the active set to the absolute best Ec/No value of both the active and monitored sets, both Ec/No best active set and Ec/No 1. best. In other words, if Ec/No 1. best is better than Ec/No best active set, the handover has not occurred. The value can be produced by subtracting Ec/No 1. best from Ec/No active set. In other words, if the result of the subtraction of Ec/No 1. best from Ec/No best active set is smaller than zero, a better Ec/No value exists than that of the active set. Isolating missing handovers from the data will be necessary in order for it to be possible to correlate missing handovers with dropped calls. This is best achieved by using the state machine. Missing handover will be defined as a state and thus isolated from the data. In addition to this state, the operation of the state machine requires also an idle state to make the transitions from state to state
252
possible. As Bad BLER values by necessity precede missing handovers, a state for Bad BLER might also be useful. Thus, the state machine will use three states: OK, Bad BLER, and Missing handover. For the transitions to occur from state to state, you have to decide what values will trigger them. In other words, what value is considered good, bad, etc. and which transition it will trigger. For the purposes of this use case, a BLER value that is greater or equal to 20 is considered bad and an Ec/No difference that is smaller than zero is considered to signify a missing handover. Thus, the transition from the normal state OK to the missing handover prerequisite state Bad BLER should be triggered by a bad BLER value (i.e. when BLER is greater or equal to 20). For the transition to occur from Bad BLER to the actual Missing handover, also the Ec/No difference will have to be smaller than zero. If however either one of the trigger values improves, the state machine should return to the relevant state. Thus three more transitions are needed, one for returning from the state Bad BLER if BLER improves, one for returning from the state Missing Handover to Bad BLER if the Ec/No difference value improves but the BLER value remains bad, and one to return from the state Missing handover straight to the state OK if BLER improves. It is very important that there is always a returning transition from each state in case the conditions of the transitions to the state are not fulfilled anymore. This ensures accurate results and the correct operation of the state machine. It is also recommended to always plan the operation of the state machine in the form of a flow chart, complete with trigger values. See an example below.
BLER >= 20 OK Bad BLER
Ec/No difference <0 Missing handover
BLER < 20
Ec/No difference > 0
BLER < 20
Once the missing handovers have been isolated from the data using the state machine, it will be necessary to correlate the missing handover events with the parameter Call dropped to find out if any of the dropped calls in the data occurred while a handover was missing. From the Parameter Tree, drag and drop the parameters BLER, Ec/No best active and Ec/No Nth best to the Workbench. When you drag and drop the parameter Ec/No Nth best to the Workbench, the Analyze Wizard Filters dialog opens.
TOOLS
253
Make sure the Value field contains the value 1 and select Finish.
Step 2: Combining raw data sets
254
Next, as the mathematical function Subtraction requires the two values between which the operation takes place to be found within the same data set, to calculate the Ec/No difference, the two parameter data sets have to be combined into a single data set. As we are interested in two Ec/No values that occur simultaneously, we can use the correlation All Values Within Time Range to combine the two data sets. From the Correlations menu, drag and drop All Values Within Time Range to the Workbench and drag connector lines from the output nodes of the parameters Ec/No best active set and Ec/No Nth best to its input nodes by holding the left mouse button down.
TOOLS
255
Step 3: Adding Operations

From the Math menu, drag and drop Subtraction (-) to the Workbench and connect All Values Within Time Range to it.
Right-click on the Subtraction element and select Properties from the popup menu. The Properties dialog opens.
From the Left column drop-down menu, select ec/no. From the Right column drop-down menu, select 1. best Ec/No. Leave the Right value field empty. Type Ec/No difference to the Result title field.
256
At this point, there are two input data sets: BLER and Ec/No difference. To combine these data sets into a single data set, you need to select a correlation method that does not remove any data from either of the sets, namely Union. From the Correlations menu, drag and drop Union to the Workbench and connect BLER and Ec/No difference to it.
TOOLS
257
To test the output at this point, connect the Union element to the Output element, right-click on the Workbench background and select Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK. The output grid opens as a new workbook.
From the output grid, it is evident that although the two tables and their time columns have been merged, the rows are not ordered by time. As most operations require the input data to be ordered by time, you need to sort the data set before performing any further operations on it.
258
From the Sorting menu, drag and drop the Ascending sort element to the Workbench and connect the Union element to it.
Right-click on the Ascending sort element and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
TOOLS
259
The Properties dialog opens. Select time from the Column drop-down menu and click OK.
The Ascending sort element is now operational.
260
To test the output again at this point, connect the Ascending sort element to the Output element, rightclick on the Workbench background and select Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select a measurement from the list and click OK.
The output grid is now ordered according to time.
TOOLS
261
From the Operations menu, drag and drop State Machine to the Workbench and connect the Ascending sort element to it.
Right-click on the State Machine element and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
262
The Properties dialog opens.
Select Add. The State dialog opens.
To create a state called OK, type OK to the Name field and click OK. In the Properties dialog, click Add again. In the State dialog, type Bad BLER to the Name field and click OK. Again, in the Properties dialog, click Add. In the State dialog, type Missing handover to the Name field and click OK.
TOOLS
263
All states have now been created. As the state OK serves the function of the idle state in this use case, select the state OK from the Initial state drop-down menu. This defines OK as the starting point for the operation of the state machine. Next, define a condition that has to be fulfilled in order for the state machine to move from the Initial State (i.e. the state OK) to the state Bad BLER. To define transitions from the state OK, select OK from the States field, and click Modify. An empty State dialog opens. The name of the state, i.e. OK, is displayed in the Name field.
To create a transition from the state OK to another state, click Add.
264
The Transition dialog opens.
Define the condition that causes the transition to occur from the state OK to the state Bad BLER. For the purposes of this use case, it has been decided that for a BLER value to be considered bad, it has to be 20 or more. To define this as a transition condition, select bler from the Column drop-down menu, select >= (i.e. greater or equal) from the Operator drop-down menu, and type the value 20 to the Value field. Next, define the target state (i.e. the state to which the transition occurs) by selecting Bad BLER from the Target drop-down menu. Because the only relevant state in terms of the KPI is Missing handover and the output should not include any data from the state Bad BLER, leave the Output field empty. When the transition has been defined, click OK to return to the State dialog. The transition to Bad BLER is now displayed in the Transitions field.
As there is no need to define any more transitions from the state OK, click OK in the State dialog to return to the Properties dialog.
TOOLS
265
To define transitions from the state Bad BLER, select Bad BLER in the Properties dialog, and click the Modify button. Again, an empty State dialog opens. The name of the state, i.e. Bad BLER, is displayed in the Name field.
Two transitions are needed from the state Bad BLER: one that returns to the initial state OK in case the BLER value is less than 20 again, and another to move from the state Bad BLER to the state Missing handover if the Ec/No difference between the best active set and the absolute best set is less than 0. To create a new transition, click Add. The Transition dialog opens.
Define the transition from the state Bad BLER to the state OK. Select bler from the Column dropdown menu, select < (i.e. smaller than) from the Operator drop-down menu, and type the value 20 to the Value field. Next, define the target state (i.e. the state to which the transition occurs) by selecting OK from the Target drop-down menu. Because the only relevant state in terms of the KPI is Missing handover and the output should not include any data from the state Bad BLER, leave the Output field empty.
266
When the transition has been defined, click OK to return to the State dialog. The transition to OK is now displayed in the Transitions field.
As we need to define one more transition from Bad BLER, click the Add button in the State dialog. The Transition dialog opens.
Define the transition from the state Bad BLER to the state Missing handover. Select Ec/No difference from the Column drop-down menu, select < (i.e. smaller than) from the Operator drop-down menu, and type the value 0 to the Value field. Next, define the target state (i.e. the state to which the transition occurs) by selecting Missing handover from the Target drop-down menu. Because the only relevant state in terms of the KPI is Missing handover and the output should not include any data from the state Bad BLER, leave the Output field empty.
When the transition has been defined, click OK to return to the State dialog.
TOOLS
267
The transition to Missing handover is now displayed in the Transitions field.
Click the OK button to return to the Properties dialog. In the Properties dialog, select Missing handover, click the Modify button, and the State dialog opens.
Two transitions are needed from the state Missing handover: one that returns to the initial state OK in case the BLER value is less than 20 again, and another to move from the state Missing handover to the state Bad BLER if the Ec/No difference between the best active set and the absolute best set is greater or equal to 0.
268
To create a new transition, click Add. The Transition dialog opens.
Define the transition from the state Missing handover to the state OK. Select bler from the Column drop-down menu, select < (i.e. smaller than) from the Operator drop-down menu, and type the value 20 to the Value field. Next, define the target state (i.e. the state to which the transition occurs) by selecting OK from the Target drop-down menu. As the output should include the data from the state Missing handover, enter the name Missing handover to the Output field. When the transition has been defined, click OK to return to the State dialog. The transition to OK is now displayed in the Transitions field.
As one more transition is needed from the state Missing handover, click the Add button in the State dialog.
TOOLS
269
The Transition dialog opens.
Define the transition from the state Missing handover to the state Bad BLER. Select Ec/No difference from the Column drop-down menu, select < (i.e. greater or equal) from the Operator drop-down menu, and enter the value 0 to the Value field. Next, define the target state (i.e. the state to which the transition occurs) by selecting Bad BLER from the Target drop-down menu. As the output should include the data from the state Missing handover, enter the name Missing handover to the Output field. When the transition has been defined, click OK to return to the State dialog. The transition to Bad BLER is now displayed in the Transitions field.
Click the OK button to return to the Properties dialog. Click the OK button in the Properties dialog. The State Machine element is now operational.
270
The states where the BLER value rises and a handover is missing have now been isolated. To find the events where missing handovers lead to dropped calls, we need to add the parameter Call dropped to the KPI. Drag and drop the parameter Call dropped from the Parameter Tree to the KPI Workbench.
As the only relevant dropped calls in terms of the KPI are the ones that occur during the state Missing handover, the most optimal correlation for combining these two data sets is All Values Within Time Range. Drag and drop an All Values Within Time Range element from the Correlations menu to the KPI Workbench. For the output data set to include all Missing handover time ranges and only those dropped call events that occur during these time ranges, the state machine has to be the primary data set and the parameter Call dropped the secondary one.
TOOLS
271
Connect the state machine to the leftmost input node of the All Values Within Time Range element. Connect the parameter Call dropped to the next node. Finally, connect the All Values Within Time Range element to the Output element.
272
Step 4: Running and Testing the KPI

To run the KPI, right-click on the Workbench background and select Run Script from the popup menu. The Select Measurement dialog opens. Select the measurement file you want to run the KPI on and click OK.
The final output includes only the rows with Missing handover events from the measurement data, and if there are Call dropped events within the time range of the Missing handover events, these will be displayed as well.
To save the custom KPI for later use, right-click on the Workbench background and select Save.
TOOLS
273
The Analyze Wizard Properties dialog opens.
Enter Dropped calls resulting from missing handover to the Name and Title fields and click Next. The Analyze Wizard - Column Aliases dialog opens. Click Finish. The KPI can now be found in the in the Parameter Tree under the User item.

FAQ
Q: How soon are changes in the Nemo File Format implemented to Nemo Analyze? A: Changes in the Nemo File Format are implemented very quickly to Nemo Analyze and there is no need to reload any data in the database. Q: Which database is used in Nemo Analyze 5.0? A: Nemo Analyze 5.0 uses the Object Store database. Q: Which reporting tool is used in Nemo Analyze 5.0? A: The Viewer version of Crystal Reports reporting tool is included in the Nemo Analyze 5.0 package but you can also use other reporting tools. To create new report templates, you will need the Crystal Reports Designer tool or some other SQL-compatible designing tool. Q: I opened a parameter on a map but the samples are shown without color coding? A: If you opened data on the map through the Analyze Wizard (right-click on a device in workspace | Pick Parameter) and selected a map instead of the default view, only the selected parameters or events are displayed. You should first open a map and then drag and drop a measurement file on the map. Then use color sets to highlight parameter values on the route.

APPENDIX 1
MAKING MAPINFO MAPS
Using raster image files, you can bring paper maps, photographs, and other graphic images into MapInfo. You can scan paper maps and then use paper maps as the foundation for the maps you create in MapInfo. After scanning the paper map into a raster image file, you can display it in a map window. Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze support only .TIF, .GIF, and .JPG formats. MapInfo can read the following types of raster images: - filename.TIF - filename.GIF - filename.JPG - filename.PCX - filename.BMP - filename.BIL Color options are: Monochrome images: each pixel in map image can be black or white. Gray scale images: each pixel in gray scale image can be black, white, or a shade of gray. Color images: each pixel can be of any color from a palette of available colors. MapInfo supports 256 colors. When using Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze, we recommend using gray scale images. Doing this, measurement route can be discerned better than with color map images.
Registering a Raster Map

If you want to overlay vector data on top of a raster image, then you must register the raster map image so that MapInfo can position it properly in a Map window. You do this in the Image Registration dialog box. You must identify control point coordinates and projection of the raster image map. It is important to provide accurate control point information when registering a raster map image. Choose control points that can be easily identified and selected, such as street intersections or use the coordinates (latitude and longitude grid) for the selected point from a paper map.
To register a raster map with MapInfo SW:

1. Choose File | Open Table and Raster Image File Format. Select your raster map image file (.TIF, .GIF, .JPG) and open it. The Image Registration dialog box will be displayed. A preview of the raster map image appears on the screen. 2. Select the Projection button to specify the projection of the raster image map. If you do not know the right projection, the default value is Longitude/ Latitude.
APPENDICES
329
3. Start adding control points. Click on a location in the preview (raster image map). The Add Control Point dialog box will be displayed showing the location of the point in pixels. Add Map X and Map Y coordinates in decimal formats. For example, to specify the coordinates 65 degrees, 30 minutes, enter 65.5 degrees. Use negative numbers when specifying west and south coordinates. If you want to register a raster map, which does not use longitude and latitude coordinates, specify the appropriate projection in the Image Registration dialog box. Enter your coordinates in the native units of the coordinate system. For example, if you are registering a UTM map image, enter coordinates in meters. Using MapBasic program, you can convert d/m/s coordinates into decimal format. 4. You must choose at least three control points. Select points that can be easily identified and selected in the map window. 5. After all control points have been defined, click OK in the Image Registration dialog box. The raster map will be displayed in the map window. 6. Move filename.tab and filename.tif/gif/jpg files to the map directory of Nemo Outdoor or Nemo Analyze. 7. Open filename.tab in Nemo Outdoor or Nemo Analyze.
