You can use this editor to change some of the display settings, including the color of the following items.
Table 6-3: Description of the settings on the Shade editor
Setting Description
"Values" Specifies the displays settings for individual values. To use these settings in value monitors, choose
"Shade by value".
"Signaling (Layer 3)" Specifies the display settings for Layer 3 values. NQView uses the custom shade in the "Event" moni-tor.
"Units" Specifies the display settings for units. In value monitors, select "Shade by Unit".
"Device #" Specifies the display settings for NQView device numbers. In value monitors, select "Shade by device"
number.
"Technology" Specifies the display settings for each technology in the system status or the technology history moni-tor.
"Data Technology" Specifies the display settings for each data technology in the technology history monitor.
"System status" Specifies the display settings for data, voice, and video results in the system status monitor.
To change the display options for values or events
1. On the "Data Presentation" menu, click "Configure Value Shades".
Fig. 6-15: Shade Editor
The contents of the Shade Editor window depend on the type of value that you select. For example, string-based values only have string values whereas numeri-cal values can have fixed and individual ranges.
2. At the top of the of the "Shade Editor" window, click a tab, for example, "Values".
3. Click an item in the tree on the left.
4. Specify the display options for the item, click "Apply", and then click "Close".
7 Exporting Data From a Measurement File
You can export data from a measurement file to a file in CSV format in the following ways:
● From the "Replay" console in the full version of NQView
● From Data Exporter, a standalone version of NQView
To export data from a measurement file
1. ● In the full version of NQView, change to the "Replay" console, and then click change to the click "Export Data" on the "Replay" menu.
● If you have the Data Exporter version of NQView, double-click the NQView icon on the Desktop.
2. Locate a measurement file and click "Open".
3. Drag items from the tree on the left to the pane on the right.
Fig. 7-1: Data Export dialog box
4. Click "Export", go to where you want to save the file, and then click "Save".
Use the "Save config" option to save the current export template with the parameters that you added. Use the "Load config" option the next time you want to export a mea-surement file with the same parameters.
A Voice Job Timings Configuration
This section describes the parameters on the Intrusive job configuration dialog box.
This information is also available in the NQView online help.
Fig. 1-1: Intrusive Job configuration
Table 1-1: Description of the Intrusive Job Parameters
Parameter Description
"Test sequence repetition" Specifies how often to repeat the sequence of defined tests
"Record hang-over" The default value is 2000 ms, however, 1000 ms is usually sufficient for mobile to land unit (M2L) calls. The record hang-over covers the signal delay on the channel.
Parameter Description
"Allow call re-establishment" Keeps the Diversity VoiceEngine open if a connection drops and waits for the mobile phone to re-establish the call, so that the measurements can continue. At the end of the
"Call Duration" value that you specify on the "Timings" tab, the phone drops the call.
Only some network operators allow mobile phones to re-establish a dropped call. In both cases, the call status changes to "Dropped".
You can also use this option for an intrusive (double-ended) test.
"Video call settings" You can use the voice channel of a video call connection to run each of the intrusive measurements. For more information see the Manual - Video telephony.pdf document.
"Window duration" Time for a Mobile Originated Calls (MOC) or Mobile Terminated Calls (MTC) window.
For NetQual, MOC means A to B and MTC means B to A. Within a window, the system performs 0 or more tests calls. Such calls can either be started and terminated by the mobile unit. This parameter is extremely important and is always respected during the test session to keep the A-side and the B-side synchronized.
"Use call duration to abort call" Terminates the call when the pre-configured call duration expires and makes the Dedica-ted Mode part of a test fixed. If you want the call to terminate after the tests are comple-ted, clear the check mark from this box.
If you uncheck the option, the duration of a test depends on the Call Setup Time and on the Calculation Time of the algorithm, both of which are not fixed. As a result, the ratio between Dedicated Mode and Idle Mode of a test is not fixed.
"Call duration" Time between the dial command and disconnect
"Pause duration" Time in seconds between the last call termination and the next dial command
"First call setup delay" Time between the start of a new window and the first call setup
"Guard time" Time in seconds before the end of the window where all ongoing calls are disconnected by the system to ensure that the next measurement window can start immediately.
"No call setup time" Time before the end of the window when no new calls are started
"Average call setup time" Time which is used to calculate the remaining time for the tests within a call. This value directly affects the total duration.
"MOC : MTC ratio" Specify the ratio of MOC windows to MTC windows
For QualiPoc speech tests, you must set this parameter to 1:0.
"Pause after max failed calls" Time that the system uses to pause after a failed call setup. This can be different from the normal pause time between calls.
"Max failed calls" Maximum number of consecutive failed calls. In the case of a failed call, the Window duration always applies. The A-side and the B-side must remain synchronized during the whole test, even if a failed call occurs. By definition, a failed call can not be acknowl-edged by the B-side.
"Pause after max failed calls" Time that the system uses to pause after a failed call setup. This can be different from the normal pause time between calls.
"Max call setup time" Maximum time for call setup
"Alerting timeout" Time in seconds between Channel Request and Alerting. If this value is > 0, then the call terminates if the alerting signal is not received within the specified time after a channel request. This parameter is only applicable for mobile devices.
"No connection timeout" If no MOC or MTC calls occur within this time, the system stops.
B Monitor Commands
This section describes the commands that are available when you right-click in an NQView monitor.
Table 2-1: Change Monitor source
Name Description
"Change Monitors source device"
Allows you to select a different source device for the measurement values. You need to be connected to more than one device to use this feature.
