Summary
TEMS Investigation can be run in two different modes, drive testing and replay mode. The Workspace is the entity that stores all the windows and settings used in a working session. Worksheets are divisions of the workspace to manage windows more smoothly. The Navigator allows you to setup and manage your workspace and external equipment. The presentation windows are used to present information elements, events, and messages, either in real time or during logfile replay. The Service Control Designer window is where you compose service control workflows. The Service Control Monitor window is used to monitor the execution scripts that have been created with the Service Control Designer. The configuration windows are used to associate audio signals with events, create userdefined events, set up logfile transfers via FTP and load cell files. A GeoSet is a special type of workspace used for map layers and is constructed using the GeoSet Manager. It can be opened as a map in the Map Window.

It is possible to draw cells on maps and to display cell names in various windows by loading a cell file (.cel or .xml). Cell files are loaded using the General window.
