on digital maps in real time. If a geographic area on a digital map largely varies with that in
actual environment and a new digital map is not available, you can scan the map to an image
file in .tif or .bmp or .jpg format. Then, you can import the file to the system for configuring
and updating the area. The map is a raster map. Therefore, the objects displayed on the map
are not digital and they cannot be displayed and selected on different layers. The whole raster
map is managed as an independent layer.
5.2 Importing Maps

GENEX Probe
Step 4 In the displayed Raster Image dialog box, click the map to add a reference point and fill out
the point name, longitude, and latitude in the Add Control Point dialog box.
The imported raster map does not contain geographical information; therefore, reference points must be
added for finding the geographic location of the map.
To add multiple reference points, refer to Figure 5-1.

To ensure the accuracy of the map, you need to add a minimum of three reference points.
Select the reference points that are unevenly located, for example, the reference points are not
located on a horizontal or vertical line.

7.3 Configuring a GPS

7.3.1 Connecting a GPS to a PC
Precautions
Ensure that the GPS signals are not blocked. Avoid the impact of poor signal on the data
collection.
During the test, if the PC must be rebooted, disconnect the GPS. Connect the GPS again when
the PC is normally rebooted.
Background
The GPS protocol includes the National Marine Electronic Association 0183 (NMEA0183)
and the Trimble ASCII Interface Protocol (TAIP). The NMEA0183 and the TAIP are both
GPS communication protocols in data format.
z NMEA0183, enacted by the NMEA, is a data protocol that complies with industrial
standards. The protocol is based on all ASCII characters, so it is not readable for
common users. NMEA0183 provides certain customized options for user; therefore, the
protocol is flexible.
z TAIP is dedicated for Trimble GPS that supports printable ASCII characters. Therefore,
TAIP is readable, the flexibility, however, is not as good as NMEA.
Process
To connect a GPS to a PC, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Connect the GPS to the serial port on the PC through a cable.
Step 2 Start the GPS and set the GPS protocol, NMEA0183 or TAIP with the GPS operating system.

Setting of the Log Mask.
Description
The setting of the Log Mask is changed before the test. Therefore, a large amount of
important data in the test is not received. After you change the interface rate of the test mobile
phone and test software, this problem persists.
Solution

how to set the APN, see section 7.2.4 "Setting the APN."
Alternatively, you can directly start a PS DialUP test to set the APN in the APN option. For
the description of the PS DialUP test, see section 9.3.8 "PS Dialup."
11.3.3 Logfiles Slice Automatically

Description
During recording or combining logfiles, the Probe automatically slices logfiles when the
logfiles do not reach the preset size.

GENEX Probe
User Manual 11 FAQ
Solution
The system automatically slices logfiles due to the format of the logfiles (GEN files). The
GEN files recorded by the Probe consist of file headers and data packets. The space reserved
for the GEN file header is 4 MB. This space is used to store the offset address of each data
packet. Each offset address occupies four bytes. A space of 4 MB can only store the offset
addresses of 1 million data packets.
If the maximum size of the GEN file set by the user is 100 MB and the quantity of data
packets exceeds 1 million, even when the GEN file does not reach the maximum size, the
Probe automatically slices the GEN file to generate a new logfile.
To determine whether the quantity of data packets in the log files exceed the predefined range:
Step 1 Choose View > Information and the Information dialog box is displayed.
Step 2 Select the Log File tab page to check the value of Total packets.
If the value of Total packets exceeds 1 million, the size of the logfile exceeds the defined
range of the system, and the system automatically slices the logfile.
