SCRIPTSANDMEASUREMENTLISTS
In Nemo Outdoor measurement automation is enhanced through scripting. By creating and editing
script files with Nemo Outdoors builtin script editor, Nemo Outdoor makes voice and video calls,
HTTP/HTTPS/FTP packet data uploads/downloads, HTML/WAP browsing, SMS/MMS messages,
emails,andpingmeasurementsaccordingtotheusersneedsandfortheirpurposes.
The more advanced scripting features include loops, conditions and waits. The Condition script
command can be used, for instance, to create scripts where the type of the detected packet
technology determines how the script proceeds. The Loop script command enables scripts where a
portionofthescriptisrepeatedanumberoftimesbeforeproceedingwiththerestofthescript.With
theWaitscriptcommand,theusercancreatescriptsthatarenotactivatedbeforeacertainsystemor

What is more, you can use measurement lists with just one device to run several scripts one after

AUTOMATICDEVICEDETECTION
NemoOutdoorhasaflexibleanduserfriendlyuserinterfacewhichallowsusersfromdifferentlevels
of experience to have an easy and smooth access to the system. The automatic device detection
functionality, accessed both through the Welcome page and the menu bar, automatically detects
devices connected to the PC and assigns the appropriate, previously created COM port and dialup
informationtothem.Forexample,whentryingtoaddaQualcommdevice,theapplicationaddsthe

TROUBLESHOOTING
GSMINTERFERENCEANALYSIS
InGSMmobilecommunicationnetworks,systemcapacityisoftenlimitedbycochannelinterference.
This is because of the surrounding cells using the same carrier frequency, or adjacent channel
interference when surrounding cells use a channel too close to the serving cell used by a terminal.
GSM cochannel and adjacent channel analysis is done in real time during a measurement and
playback with Nemo Outdoor. Interference detection is done based on GSM terminal and GSM
scannermeasurementsandthesemeasurementsarecombinedtogether.

The Nemo Outdoor user interface is compatible with common Windows standards. During
measurement, users can easily monitor the results and the progress of the measurement process.
Through the Nemo Outdoor main window users will easily access all relevant functions. After the
initial device setups and configurations the user can save all devicerelated settings to a hardware
configurationfileandloadthesameconfigurationlateron.TheNemoOutdooruserinterfaceisfirst
and foremost flexible and organizable to suit each users specific needs. Measurement windows
displayusefulinformationduringthemeasurementprocessandduringplayback.Viewgroupsallow
the organization of measurement windows into different tabs for easier viewing. This is especially
usefulwhenthereareseveralgraphsandmapsopenatonceintheNemoOutdoormainwindow.

multiple results in a single graph. However, line graphs are best suited for viewing parameters for

bar graphs work especially well with multiple parameters which need to be compared with each
other, e.g., RSSI levels for neighboring cells. You can also configure graph colors based on the
parametervalue,orusingfixedoralgorithmiccolorsets.

Grids offer more detailed information on the measurement data. Events grids list, by default, all

provideaneasywayofsimultaneouslydisplayingthesameparametervaluesformultipleinstances.
For example, the neighbor list of a serving cell can be displayed in a table grid so that each row
represents one neighbor and each column represents a parameter value (e.g., system, carrier,
scrambling code, etc.). Packet decoder grids enable you to view and decode packet capture
informationondatatransfersinplaybackmode.

when updating Nemo Outdoor, it is possible to save them in an .xml configuration file,

MapsonNemoOutdoorprovidetheuserwithabetterunderstandingofthemeasurementrouteand
results through visualization. When Nemo Outdoor is used with a GPS receiver and positioning
coordinates are collected, the measurement route is drawn on a map and the user can easily
correlate events to location coordinates. Most of the time drive testing is performed using regular
GPS receivers that give exact coordinate information in normal situations. Once the GPS fix is lost,

Nemo Outdoor offers parameterbased route coloring, which means that users can observe the
values of certain network parameters from the route coloring on the map. Users can define which
color refers to which parameter value. This way it is easy to spot the problem areas on a map. To

make analysis even simpler, the same route can be drawn several times on the map and different

help the user during drive testing to immediately notice when something special happens. Nemo
Outdoor can be configured to play audio notifications or voice prompts whenever a certain event
occurs. The voice prompts are Windows .wav files, and in Nemo Outdoor both female and male
default notification sounds are available. However, you can record and use your own voice
notifications instead of the default files as well. Custom notifications can also prove useful when
