For example, "%y%b%d_%n means that the filename lookes as follows: 06May31_1. The last number (%n) is the sequence number for measurement files recorded that day. For detailed instructions please see user manual.

Notifications (1)
Notifications are graphical, textual, and audio notifications marking certain events. Nemo Outdoor includes some premade notifications, but you can also add your own notifications. The notifications come in handy when you are looking for certain events, parameters, or values in the measurement file. Depending on your configuration, Nemo Outdoor will either play a sound or display a bitmap image in a graph/map when the defined event occurs during measurements.

Manual / Script (Automated) Mode
Manual mode is based on the user establishing a data transfer connection or making voice calls. This mode is useful, when user wants to make a single continuous data transfer session or a voice call to monitor the resource allocation and cell reselection performance. This mode requires the user to control phones with Nemo Outdoor. The user can also use the mobile keyboard to establish voice calls or data calls. This feature was implemented to Nemo Outdoor 4.14.24. In automated mode Script files can be used to automate testing. The Script file specifies how the phone will establish data connections or make phone calls, for example, phone number to call, call duration, number of repetitions, and delay between calls. The Script editor is used to generate the scripts.

The user can lock each GSM test mobile to a base station during the measurement (to BCCH channel, when mobile is in IDLE mode). Note that even though you are locking the mobile to a certain channel, Base Station can force the mobile to another channel when the call is on. In other words, it is not possible to select the Traffic channel. While the call is on, the mobile is locked to a certain Base Station (BSIC).

Documents
After the mobile has been locked to a certain channel, some mobiles will power cycles itself. If the mobile (e.g. Nokia 61xx series) is not connected to the charger, it must be manually turned on again. The same procedure needs to be done when the channel lock is turned off. This procedure needs to be done only with the Nemo Outdoor Single System, without charger connected to the phone.

The BTS (Base Transceiver Station) file is used by the Nemo Outdoor Measurement software to overlay BTS sites on MapInfo map (.tab). When possible, the active BTS is indicated by drawing a line between the BTS antenna and the current position mark. (Cell information, coordinates and antenna direction required). The line color differs according to the test mobiles. If the CI is known but the channel number is not available, the line is drawn to the base station icon, not to the antenna.

The .tab file contains information about a map (such as location coordinates) and is used by Nemo Outdoor to refer to a particular map. The corresponding image and .tab files have to be in the same folder in order to view a MapInfo map. If you are using a large map updating the map window will slow down Nemo Outdoor functions. We recommend you to minimize the map size by reducing the amount of colors to 256 or 16, or turning the color map to black and white.
