Introduction

This manual will assist you in using TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool.

1.1.

TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool in Brief

With TEMS Pocket 7.x you can perform indoor logfile recording, by using an indoor
map (for example a floor plan) and pinpointing your way through the building. The
logfile with the measurement samples is stored together with the map in a zip
container. When the *.zip file has been transferred to a computer, it can be opened
from within TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool.
TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool is used to position (i.e. allocate a latitude and
longitude value) the unpositioned map and update the geo positions for each sample
in the corresponding logfile. The positioned map can then be opened in TEMS
Presentation or in TEMS Investigation, superimposed on an ordinary background
map. The logfiles (positioned) measurement samples can be plotted on the indoor
map and analyzed in the same manner as if they were samples from an ordinary
logfile.

1.2.

Prerequisites

To be able to use TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool, it needs to be installed on your

computer. That installation is performed automatically if you have TEMS Investigation
10.0 (or later) or TEMS Presentation 1.2 (or later) installed.

Getting Started

This chapter guides you through a couple of actions to be taken prior to using TEMS
Pocket Positioning Tool.

2.1.

Initial Tasks

To be able to use the tool for positioning maps and corresponding measurement data,
you need to:

Transfer logfiles with indoor measurements and their corresponding maps (as zip
archives) from your TEMS Pocket phone and save them locally on your computer
or on a network directory.

2.2.

Starting TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool

If you have TEMS Investigation 10.0 or later installed, TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool
is found under Windows Start menu, where you select Programs Ascom TEMS
Products Utilities TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool.
If you have TEMS Presentation 2.0 or later installed, TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool is
found under Tools menu in TEMS Presentation.

Using TEMS Pocket Positioning

Tool

Start TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool.

The first action is to open the *.zip file with the unpositioned map and the
corresponding logfile.

NT11-6191 ver 1.0

Press the Open button on the toolbar.

TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool Users Manual

Browse for the zip file of interest. Mark it and press Open (or double-click it).

Now it is time to specify where the map and logfile shall be stored when the
positioning procedure is complete. Perform the tasks mentioned in the following
steps:

Press the Properties button on the toolbar.

Chapter 3. Using TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool

Check the box Unzip archive, if you want to unzip the container with the logfile
and the map. If so, the map image, a corresponding tab file and the logfile will be
stored in an ordinary folder with the same name as the original zip container. If
you uncheck this box, you have to unzip your map and logfile manually before you
can use them in TEMS Presentation or TEMS Investigation.

The zip container is still stored in the same directory as when you opened it for
positioning, and it will also be updated with the new map position and geo positions
for the measurement samples after the positioning is complete.

Specify the folder where the map image, the corresponding tab file and the logfile
shall be stored (if you checked the box Unzip archive in the previous step) after
the positioning procedure. Use the Browse button for convenience.

Click OK.

On the right side of the map, you now enter Latitude, Longitude, the Width of the map
picture, and Direction.
Latitude and Longitude values can be obtained from the outdoor map where the
indoor map shall be positioned (in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Presentation). The
entered values indicate the top left corner of the indoor map picture.
The Width is the estimated width (in unit [m]) of the entire picture, not necessarily the
building or floor itself, from left to right. If the width is not OK in the map after the
positioning, you simply enter a new Width value and start the positioning procedure
again
Direction is the deviation from the outdoor map, from 0 to 360 degrees clockwise, and
is used to adjust the direction of the indoor map before it is positioned in the outdoor
map. If the direction is not OK in the map after the positioning, you simply enter a new
Direction value and start the positioning procedure again.

When you have entered the values, you start the positioning process by pressing the
Start button.
During the positioning, a progress bar indicates the progress. After the positioning,
Completed is displayed next to the progress bar.

Now you can open the positioned map (from the folder specified previously under
Properties) in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Presentation, favorably superimposed on
an ordinary outdoor map.
