QXDM Professional
Qualcomm eXtensible Diagnostic Monitor
Proven Diagnostic Tool for Evaluating Handset
and Network Performance
The Qualcomm eXtensible Diagnostic Monitor (QXDM
Professional) is a real-time data collection and diagnostic
logging tool for measuring mobile-based RF performance.
Designed to operate using all commercial handsets that
contain Qualcomm ASICs and with Qualcomms test/trial
phones,* QXDM Professional displays statistics and
diagnostic information, and enables users to read and write
non-volatile memory. Whether conducting tests in the lab or
the field, QXDM Professional is a powerful platform for
evaluating handset and network performance.

Key Benefits
Enables immediate development, testing and optimization of new

technologies including CDMA2000 1X, 1xEV (Rev 0, A, and B),

WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA+, gpsOne, and LTE (LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD)
Provides a comprehensive, real-time diagnostic tool for development
performance testing
Allows complete user control of selected parameters and settings for
logging mobile-based binary data and post-processing
Characterizes performance of messaging and protocols specified by
the IS-95 (A&B), J-STD-008, IS-2000 (O&A), IS-856 (1xEV-DO),
WCDMA/UMTS (3GPP) and GSM/GPRS standards

* All phones with a Qualcomm chipset are capable of being supported by QXDM Professional; however, the
manufacturer may alter the interface, or may need to provide the appropriate USB drivers.
