User Interface Overview
Workspace
Measurements tab in workspace is divided to three
sections:
Folders
All measurements folder in the
workspace shows all files
currently in the database
Other user-defined folders where
files can be grouped
automatically, e.g., All files from
certain operator, All files from
UMTS
Folder contents
List of all measurements in the
folder selected in the Folders
section
Parameter tree
Shows all available parameters
and KPIs for the selected file,
measurement, or folder,
depending on the selection in
Folders and Folder contents
sections
KPIs can be displayed in graph, map, etc., or statistics can be
calculated from the parameter tree
Visible tab in the workspace can be changed from the bottom
Tabs:
Measurements
Base stations
Maps
Data source files
Reports
Loading files into Nemo Analyze
Select File | Open |
Measurement/BTS/Map/Report or
click the Open Measurement
button
Measurement files and BTS files
are loaded in the database
Maps and report templates are
loaded in the workspace
Note that all the files uploaded into
the database need to have unique
file names
The added files will appear in the
workspace view in the left-hand
side of the Nemo Analyze main
window
Organize measurements
By default, all added measurement files go into the All
Measurements folder
Measurement files can be further grouped to folders
3 different folder types:
Drag-and-drop folder
User can manually drag-and-drop
the files to the folder
Search folder
User sets a criteria, based on which
the measurement files are
automatically added to the folder
Folder contents is updated
automatically when new files are
added to the DB
E.g. all files from last week, all files
from UMTS, all files from certain
operator

Query folder
Files to the folder are filtered based
on user-defined SQL query
E.g. all files with dropped RRC
connections

Organizing Measurements
-Drag&Drop Folder
Right click on Measurement, Add
Folder/Drag & Drop

click, Remove from Folder
Organizing Measurements
-Intelligent Folder
Right click on Measurement, Add
Folder/Query
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.

Predefined queries or custom
queries can be used to define the
folder.
Organizing Measurements
-Intelligent Folder
Joined Measurement
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.
Right-click on All Measurements and
select Add Joined Measurement
The joined measurement appears in
the Workspace and you can now
drag & drop measurement files in it.
Joined measurements are identified
with a symbol.

In the Organize
Measurements dialog you
can conveniently handle
and organize large sets of
measurement files
In the Organize
Measurements dialog you
can create new folders,

User-Defined SQL Queries

User can write SQL query, show the results in graph, and
add the custom query to menu as a new parameter
DB schema is provided along with the software
The database has an open ODBC interface
Any third party SQL DB tool can be used to fetch
data from the DB
Adding Custom Queries to Analyze UI
Manual Query
Own queries can be added from query
manager
1. Query manager -- > add manual query
2. Give name to the query
3. Select Edit SQL manually checkbox
4. Type the query in
5. Set aliases for different graphs, i.e. what
column will be in x-axis, what will be in y-
axis, etc.
6. When finished, the query is available in
the User branch in the parameter tree
in Analyze workspace.




Adding Custom Queries to Analyze UI
Query Wizard
Simple queries can be done with query wizard
Joins are made automatically between tables that
have relationships
Time-based correlation is not done
If two selected tables dont have relation,
result set will be Cartesian product of the
tables!

Step-by-step procedure:
Select tables from where data is get
Select columns to be displayed from the table(s)
Select column for ordering the results, if time based
ordering is not sufficient
Set filtering conditions for results
Define aliases between controls and result columns
(which columns will be x and which will be y in graph
etc.)
