Nemo Analyze: Starting Nemo

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 (Start | Programs | Nemo Tools | Nemo 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 dialogue 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.

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. 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 view each page via the descriptive 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.

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.

Use Case - 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.

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.

The Select Area dialog box appears. Select a map in the Filename field, or load one through the … tab. Next, define an area on the map by clicking on it. The Save As tab also 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.

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.
