TEMS Investigation 16.

1 User’s Manual

operations that you can perform manually on this device. Regarding these
operations, see chapter 7.
On being activated, a phone device starts delivering idle mode reports, and a
GPS device starts reporting positions.

Limitations for Particular Devices

• If the device connection must be set up using an external connection
manager application, only one such device at a time can be activated in
TEMS Investigation (unless the connection manager supports multiple
devices).
• Of HTC Touch Pro2 phones having an “Internet Sharing” function and
requiring installation of TCP Router software, only one phone at a time
can be activated in TEMS Investigation. Compare the Device
Configuration Guide, section 4.16.2.3.

6.4.2. Deactivating External Equipment

If you want to leave an external device plugged into the PC, but deactivate it
in TEMS Investigation for the time being, do as follows:
• Right-click the device on the Equipment tab and choose Deactivate from
the context menu.
To deactivate all active devices:

Click the Deactivate All button on the Equipment tab toolbar.

6.5. Managing GPS Units

It is possible to have several positioning devices plugged into the PC, and
they will then all be detected by TEMS Investigation. This includes GPS units
built into certain other supported devices, as detailed in the Device
Configuration Guide, section 2.2.5.2.
However, while multiple GPS units can be detected and activated, only one at
a time can update the positioning-related information elements in TEMS
Investigation. The device responsible for this will be the one tagged with an
“earth” symbol on the Navigator’s Equipment tab. It is referred to as the
current Preferred GPS, as shown in the tooltip:

 Chapter 6. Activating External Equipment

The following rules apply:

• The first GPS unit detected automatically becomes the preferred one and
remains as such even if further GPS units are plugged in and detected.
• If no GPS is activated, and you activate one GPS, that GPS automatically
becomes the preferred one.
• If no GPS is activated in TEMS Investigation, and you click the Activate
All button, then all detected GPS units are activated but the currently
preferred GPS remains preferred (and only this one will update
positioning data in the application).
• As long as a GPS or some other device is activated in TEMS
Investigation, the “Preferred” setting cannot be changed.
• While a logfile is being recorded, the “Preferred” setting cannot be
changed.
• To select a different GPS as the preferred one, first deactivate any
devices that are activated and stop logfile recording if applicable, then
right-click the desired GPS in the Navigator and choose Preferred GPS
from the context menu. The earth symbol and “Preferred GPS” tag will
then be transferred to that GPS.

6.6. Further Features of the Navigator’s

Equipment Tab

6.6.1. The Refresh Function

If the devices you connected to the PC were not detected properly (for
whatever reason), you can start the detection procedure over from scratch.
To do this:

Click the Refresh button at the top of the Equipment tab.

Note that you must always do a refresh after using the Manual UE
Configuration utility; see section 6.3.4.

35. The GPS Window

This window shows data from the GPS unit. If several GPS units have been
detected by TEMS Investigation, the window shows data from the one
currently selected as “Preferred” (see section 6.5). Exactly what data is
displayed depends on the type of GPS; below is an example:

The fix source is one of the following:

• 2D
• 2D with DGPS (Differential GPS)
• 2D: SPS Mode (Standard Positioning Service)
• 2D: PPS Mode (Precise Positioning Service)
• 3D
• 3D with DGPS
• 3D: SPS Mode
• 3D: PPS Mode
• DR (Dead Reckoning)

35.1. Changing GPS Window Properties

The GPS window can be configured to show only the parameters of interest:

Units Tab

Speed Choose km/h or mph.

Altitude Choose meters or feet.

View Tab

Basic Check to show the latitude, longitude, altitude and

speed of the GPS unit, the fix source, and the
number of satellites seen.

Heading Check to show the direction of travel, graphically and

numerically, in degrees clockwise from north.

Show invalid Check to also plot samples whose position is labeled

positions as invalid by the GPS unit.1
1. This option exists to allow presentation of positions incorrectly regarded by
the GPS as invalid.
