User Interface Overview
Workspace
• “Measurements” tab in workspace is divided to three
sections:
– Folders
• “All measurements” folder in the
workspace shows all files
currently in the database
• Other user-defined folders where
files can be grouped
automatically, e.g., “All files from
certain operator”, “All files from
UMTS”
– Folder contents
• List of all measurements in the
folder selected in the “Folders”
section
– Parameter tree
• Shows all available parameters
and KPIs for the selected file,
measurement, or folder,
depending on the selection in
“Folders” and “Folder contents”
sections
• KPIs can be displayed in graph, map, etc., or statistics can be
calculated from the parameter tree
• Visible tab in the workspace can be changed from the bottom
• Tabs:
– Measurements
– Base stations
– Maps
– Data source files
– Reports
Loading files into Nemo Analyze

• Select File | Open |

Measurement/BTS/Map/Report or
click the Open Measurement
button
• Measurement files and BTS files
are loaded in the database
• Maps and report templates are
loaded in the workspace
• Note that all the files uploaded into
the database need to have unique
file names
• The added files will appear in the
workspace view in the left-hand
side of the Nemo Analyze main
window
Organize measurements

• By default, all added measurement files go into the All

Measurements folder
• Measurement files can be further grouped to folders
• 3 different folder types:
– Drag-and-drop folder
• User can manually drag-and-drop
the files to the folder
– Search folder
• User sets a criteria, based on which
the measurement files are
automatically added to the folder
• Folder contents is updated
automatically when new files are
added to the DB
• E.g. all files from last week, all files
from UMTS, all files from certain
operator

– Query folder
• Files to the folder are filtered based
on user-defined SQL query
• E.g. all files with dropped RRC
connections

data from the DB
Adding Custom Queries to Analyze UI
Manual Query

• Own queries can be added from query

manager

5. Set aliases for different graphs, i.e. what
column will be in x-axis, what will be in y-
axis, etc.
6. When finished, the query is available in
the “User” branch in the parameter tree
in Analyze workspace.
Adding Custom Queries to Analyze UI
Query Wizard

• Simple queries can be done with query wizard

• Joins are made automatically between tables that
have relationships
• Time-based correlation is not done
– If two selected tables don’t have relation,
result set will be Cartesian product of the
tables!

Step-by-step procedure:
• Select tables from where data is get
• Select columns to be displayed from the table(s)
• Select column for ordering the results, if time based
ordering is not sufficient
• Set filtering conditions for results
• Define aliases between controls and result columns
(which columns will be x and which will be y in graph
etc.)
