This section presents the Nemo Outdoor user interface. You will find general descriptions on all the commands and windows. The functions and dialog boxes related to the commands are described in detail in the following sections.
The Nemo Outdoor user interface is compatible with common Windows® standards. If you are not familiar with these standards, refer to your Microsoft® Windows® Documentation.
View Groups
Menu Bar
The menu bar contains all Nemo Outdoor commands. The commands are arranged in menus. Some commands execute their respective operations immediately, while others will first display a dialog box with options for you to select from. A command ending in three dots (…) will open a dialog box.
-
You can use shortcut keys to carry out some of the commands. The shortcut keys are presented on the menus next to the menu commands.
Toolbar
You can use the toolbar with the mouse for quick access to frequently used commands. In the View menu, you can choose to hide the toolbar; this will bring more space to the other objects in the main window.
The Nemo Outdoor toolbar comprises of a set of buttons that allow you to perform common tasks quickly. For example, to start the measurement, just click the Start Recording button on the toolbar.
Status Bar
The status bar at the bottom of the Nemo Outdoor window gives you variable information depending on the operations you are performing. For example, when you are pointing to a toolbar button with the mouse (without clicking), the status bar will show a description of the corresponding function. You can also see a brief description of the same function in a help box that appears next to the button when you hold the mouse over the button long enough. There is also a time slider which you can use to jump into certain points in the measurement.
In the View menu, you can select to hide the status bar; this will bring more space to the other objects in the main window.
View Groups
View Groups is a function that allows you to organize measurement windows into different tabs for easier viewing. This is especially useful if you have several graphs and maps open at the same time and you have to overlap them to fit them all in the Nemo Outdoor main window. Now you can create view groups and organize the measurement windows into several groups. Each view group appears at the bottom of the main window as a tab that you can view by clicking the tab.
When you start Nemo Outdoor for the first time, you will have one default view group. To rename the default view group, right-click on the tab and select Rename.
Enter a name for the view group and click OK.
To create a new view group, right-click on the empty area next to the existing view groups and select Create New. Enter a name for the view group and click OK. The new view group appears as another tab.
To organize measurement windows into the view groups, open a view group, for example, Maps and open the windows that you would like to have in this particular view group. Then go to another view group by clicking on the respective tab, for example, Graphs and open measurement windows there. The windows are automatically saved in the view groups and will be opened the next time you start Nemo Outdoor.
File Menu
The File menu allows you to open and save workspace files and device configurations. Measurement files for playback are also opened through the File menu.
By selecting the Save Workspace on Exit option, the current configuration is saved in a file and opened automatically the next time the program is started. The Work Offline item activates and deactivates the offline mode. With the Send Measurement to FTP Server item you can send measurement files to an FTP server. With the Export and Import Settings items you can export and import settings into an .aex file. The following items are stored in the .aex file:
-
Scripts
-
Color sets
-
Custom views
-
Device configurations
-
Notification settings
-
Route plans
-
Workspaces
The Recent Workspaces, Recent Device Configurations, and Recent Measurements items display the recently used workspaces and device configurations and recently viewed playback files, respectively. With the Exit command you can close the program.
Edit Menu
In the Edit menu, you can copy and save as images selected items from the Nemo Outdoor program. The Find command allows you to search through the measurement file opened in the grid.
View Menu
In the View menu, you can select, hide and display items in the main window, such as the standard toolbar, custom window toolbar, status indicator Output, Device Info. Through quick windows you have easy access to custom windows after defining them. You can also access the Configuration Manager, Color Set Editor and User Interface Properties dialogs. Through the View Groups item you can create new view groups or switch between existing view groups. Active View Properties will open a properties dialog for the currently active window.
Measurement Menu
Through the Measurement menu, you can control the measurement process and add, autodetect and remove devices.
The Start Script command initiates a user-defined script file while the Stop Script command terminates the script. These same commands can be executed by clicking the Start/Stop Scripts button in the toolbar. In the Script Editor you can edit script files. You can also add markers and textual notes in the measurement file. The Clear Buffers command will empty the event history buffer. This does not affect the measurement file.
Through the All Devices item you can control several devices at once. For example, you can make a voice call or send an SMS with all test mobiles connected to Nemo Outdoor. Below All Devices are listed individually all measurement devices connected to the system. Through these items you can control and configure the individual test terminals.
Controling Devices
Device Properties, General Properties, Measurement Properties, Notification Properties, and Script Properties items open the respective dialogs. By selecting the Reset command, you can reset the Devices window, for example, if you want to reconnect and activate a device after disconnecting it.
The menu also offers access to various actions that can be performed during manual measurements. If you are using scripts to run measurements, you will not need these commands.
The following functions are available in this menu:
