to include Layer 3. The Mobile Measurement supports drive and walk testing
while constantly performing a blind scan to add or delete new channels.
Bands can be also added for blind scan using the ‘Blind scan wizard’ method on
the measurement setup page. Blind scan wizard lets the user add bands with ‘one click’
to the measurements rather than adding bands manually one at a time.
Blind scan supports three Measurement modes

High Speed- This is the new method that detect channels very quickly. This
method uses a different concept to detect channels than the ‘old’ method, but the
trade-off is that is very unlikely to detect channels below -85 dBm. Applicable to
FD-LTE, TD-LTE, LTE-Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS), WCDMA, CDMA and
EVDO and NB-IoT.
Fast Speed with Extended detection- This method utilizes the same mode as the
High Speed above, but in addition, it looks for Adjacent channels after
successfully detect a channel using the High-Speed method. This causes the
methods to perform a little bit slower than the High-Speed, but much faster than
the High Dynamic Range mode, but in addition to the High-Speed method,
depending on the strength of the adjacent channels, can pick up weaker
channels. Applicable only to FD-LTE and TD-LTE
High Dynamic - This is the ‘old’ method that takes a long time to detect channels
but has a very high dynamic range. The scanner expects an RSSI Threshold,
telling the scanner how deep to look to detect channels. Applicable to FD-LTE,
TD-LTE, WCDMA, CDMA and EVDO.
Blind scan for 5G NR does not need selection for the above three modes. For 5G
NR user needs to input the correct Sub-carrier spacing and check Enable. The
entire band will be scanned and detected SSref frequencies will be reported.
Blind scan Wizard

When a Blind Scan is complete and stopped, a Blind Scan Wizard will be
displayed for the user to use as needed. The two-step Wizard will transfer
desired technologies, band and channel information discovered over the air
during the blind scan back to the Configuration page. The user can then begin a
full scan, or save as a workspace for future use. When running the wizard, the
user must select:
o Mode: either Signal Analyzer or Measurement:

9.10 Indoor Grid Save Results
All aspects of the test are saved in a directory named after the test name, located in the
device’s SeeHawk Touch > Indoor Grid folder. This includes the tab file with all the grids.
The saving is done automatically (no user intervention), and includes all “grid” related
changes along with the test results. This is true when “Resume” and Quick View” is used
as well.
Indoor Grid test doesn’t have a save button. All results are updated on the fly and saved.
If user exits a test by selecting ‘Don’t Save’ the session folder is still saved. These
changes are not updated in the original indoor map in the Indoor Maps folder. Selecting
‘Save’ updates the session folder as well as the indoor map in the Indoor Map folder.
Complete data measurements are stored in one .csv files for all floors. Area points,
reference points and critical points will have a separate csv saved for the building. .
Users can use the data for external data processing. Note that any modification to the
folder or the files may corrupt the data causing the test data unusable. Users are
advised to refrain from modifying the folders or files.
NOTE: The .csv files include all the measured data, but do not have values that indicate
the grading process (Pass/Fail, etc., since the parameters can change).
NOTE: Prior to Touch Release 2.5, all of these files were saved in a .zip file. When tests
were resumed, the file was unzipped and use, and thus the same directory structure was
available. When using 2.5 or later, the test are not zipped, and only the directory
structure is available. Projects from earlier releases are unzipped automatically, and the
.zip is renamed to .bak in case it is needed. Files that already have a matching directory
are not unzipped, just renamed; the directory will need to be renamed in order to get a
zip file to be upgraded.

SeeHawk Touch
User Guide
An option is offered to the user, when exiting the test, to save the “grid” related changes
to the original grid file in the Indoor Maps folder. This allows the grid file to be ready to
use for another test. Not accepting this option does NOT affect the saving of the
information in the test file itself.
9.11 Resuming Indoor Grid test on a new tablet
Grid tests can be resumed on another tablet if required. To do so copy the entire Grid
test file from SeeHawk Touch > Indoor Grid folder to the desired tablet. On resuming the
test on a new tablet, Touch will auto rebuild the custom channel list if not copied from the
old tablet. Custom channels rebuild will be added to the channel list. Custom channels
that already exist in the new tablet with the same name as the new channel list will be
overwritten.
For Indoor Grid tests done using IBwave generated floor plans, test session can be
copied to a new tablet and continue to resume a test. Floor plan images originally
present in the Grid test folder can be tested, no new floors can be added. To add new
floors, copy he IBWave file to the new tablet with the Grid test file.

11.5 Exporting Data in SeeHawk Collect on PC

When recorded, data is stored as a Drive. Drives are stored as a set of files in a folder
labeled with the Drive's name. The data contained in the Drive folder can also be
exported to .dtr or .csv (comma-separated value) formats.
In addition to exporting Drive data, you can export a Blind Scan Summary Report into
.xls format.
The first time a particular Drive is Exported or opened in Playback, SeeHawk Collect will
interpolate GPS locations for all data in the Drive. When SeeHawk Collect interpolates
data, it assigns GPS coordinates to each data point by taking all data points for a given
scan recorded between two GPS readings and evenly distributing them across the
latitude and longitude coordinates between the two GPS readings. Interpolated GPS
locations are then included in all Drive and Export files associated with the data.
You can export data from multiple drives at once or from a single drive.

15.2 Directories
SeeHawk Touch automatically creates the following directories during installation. When
the application looks for certain types of files it will only check the appropriate directory
created for that purpose.
• Do not change directory names.
• Files can be manually copied and moved from one device to another, but ensure
copied files are moved into the proper directory.
AntennaVerification: Directory for result files from AVT Mode saved as zip files, which
contain a .csv file for each type of technology in the test. The test name starts with the
name assigned by the user, with date info appended at the end (_yyyymmdd_hhmmss)
CustomChannels: Directory for Custom Channel Power list.
Drives: Directory for result files from the Indoor or Outdoor modes saved as a directory
for each test, with files and subdirectories. The directory name starts with the name
given by the user in the settings, with date info appended at the end
(_yyyymmdd_hhmmss).
File types appear in these directories:
• .dth, .dti, .dtl, .dtm, and .dtg: Binary results for SeeHawk Touch application use
only.
• jpeg, png, jpg, bmp and gif: Copy of the original map used in Indoor Mode.
• .tab: The final map used in Indoor Mode.
• .xml: The transmitter info as edited by the user.
EquipmentRooms: Directory for all Equipment Room jpeg/png images and .er images
created.
FTP: Directory for result files that are queued for FTP upload (automatically or manually
from AVT, Indoor or Outdoor modes) are saved here until processed. Files that have not
yet been uploaded can be deleted here or using the Touch FTP Manager. If a file is
deleted in the FTP directory, SeeHawk Touch will display a “Not Found” message during
an attempt to upload.

SeeHawk Touch
User Guide
IBWC: Directory for .ibwc files from iBwave either passed from the projects in the
iBwave applications (Note or Planner) or manually copied here by the user when not
using these applications.
• When an .ibwc file is used, there will be a subdirectory for each file containing
detailed files.
• Any changes to the transmitter information will be saved under these
subdirectories
• When files are sent back to the applications, the file and associated subdirectory
will be updated with the results information
• Note that projects passed from the applications automatically have date info
appended at the end (yyyymmddhhmmssmmm).
Images: Directory for images captured in Signal Analyzer Mode.
IndoorGrid: Directory for Indoor Grid test results.
IndoorGridReport: Directory for automated Indoor Grid reports in Word document format.
IndoorMaps: Directory for files to be imported for use as maps are placed here by the
user (jpeg, png, jpg, bmp and gif). Tab files of maps are placed here after being created
by SeeHawk Touch.
LogFiles: Directory for the messages created and logged by SeeHawk Touch.
MapLegends: Directory for customized map legends.
Temp: Used by the application only.
