5.4 Configuring Layer Properties
Layer properties consist of layer display properties and layer label properties. Layer display properties specify the display modes of the objects on a layer. Layer label properties specify the labeling modes of the objects on a layer. You can configure layer offset properties and adjust the projection of map layers in the outdoor map window. You can also configure the offset properties of IE layers in the indoor or outdoor map window. The configuration of layer properties is temporary and is not saved in projects.
Prerequisite
l If you want to configure the properties of cell layers, ensure that engineering parameters are imported.
l If you want to configure the properties of counter layers during a test, ensure that external devices are configured.
l If you want to configure the properties of counter layers during a replay, ensure that the logfile used for the replay contains the information about external devices.
Choose View > Information. Then, you can view the contents in the logfile in the displayed Information window.
Context
l Labels are the texts that represent the objects contained on each type of layer in a map. For example, the fields of the engineering parameters on a cell layer, the values and numbers of the IEs on an IE layer, and the names of the buildings on a building layer.
– For the GSM system, the BTSName and BTSID can be labeled for the base station. By default, engineering parameter fields BTSName and BCCHNO are labeled.
– For the WCDMA system, the NodeBName and NodeBID can be labeled for the base station. By default, engineering parameter fields NodeBName and P-SC are labeled. – For the CDMA system, the Site Name and Site ID can be labeled for the base station.
By default, engineering parameter fields Site Name and PN are labeled.
– For the WiMAX system, the BS Name and BS ID can be labeled for the base station. By default, engineering parameter fields BSName and Preamble Index are labeled. – For the LTE system, the eNodeBName and eNodeBID can be labeled for the base
station. By default, engineering parameter fields eNodeBName and PCI are labeled. l The map projection refers to the method of projecting the points on the spheroid earth to
the plane coordinates.
The projection varies with layers, and thus a standard is required to normalize the projection, namely, to adjust the map projection.
l Layer offset refers to the method of making an offset of certain distance on an IE layer in the longitude or latitude direction so that the objects on each layer can be displayed clearly. 5 Managing the Map Window

Procedure
l Configuring layer display properties
1. In the outdoor map window, click or right-click the map, and then choose Layer Control from the shortcut menu. The Layer Control dialog box is displayed. 2. In the Layers area, select a layer for which the display properties are to be configured. 3. In the Properties area, select Visible to display the selected layer on the map. 4. Click Display to configure the display properties of this layer.
For details about the relevant parameters, see Parameters of the Display Properties Dialog Box.
5. After the configuration is complete, click OK. The Layer Control dialog box is displayed.
6. Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 until the display properties of all the required layers are configured.
7. In the Layer Control dialog box, click OK. l Configuring layer label properties
You can configure layer label properties by using either of the following methods: – In the outdoor map window, click , and then configure layer label properties in the
Cell Label Setting dialog box.
You can choose to label a base station field or the imported engineering parameter fields. – In the outdoor map window, click or right-click the map, and then choose Layer
Control from the shortcut menu. Configure the layer label properties in the Layer Control dialog box.
For details, see Step 1 through Step 6.
1. In the Layers area of the Layer Control dialog box, select a layer for which the label properties are to be configured.
2. In the Properties area, select Visible and Automatic Labels to display the labels of the selected layer on the map.
3. Click Labels to configure the label properties of this layer.
For details about the relevant parameters, see Parameters of the Label Properties Dialog Box.
4. After the configuration is complete, click OK. Then, the Layer Control dialog box is displayed.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 until the label properties of all the required layers are configured.
6. In the Layer Control dialog box, click OK.
The labels of the configured layers are displayed in the map. l Adjusting the projection of a map layer
1. In the outdoor map window, right-click the map, and then choose Projection from the shortcut menu. The Choose Projection dialog box is displayed.
2. Select a projection mode from the Category drop-down list and select an adjustment mode in the Category Members area.
l Configuring the offset properties of IE layers
1. In the Map Layers window of an indoor or outdoor map view, right-click the IE layer, and then choose Offset Layer from the shortcut menu. The Layer Offset dialog box is displayed.
2. Set the offset.
For detailed description about the parameters, see Parameters for Configuring the Layer Offset.
3. After the configuration is complete, click OK. ----End
5.5 Configuring Legend Properties
Legend properties include the colors, shapes, and fonts of legends. You can configure the IE legend properties of MSs in the indoor or outdoor map window so that IEs are displayed on the map as dots according to different legends. If legend properties are not configured, the Probe displays IEs according to the default legend.
Prerequisite
l If you want to configure IE legend properties during a test, ensure that the MS is configured. l If you want to configure IE legend properties during a replay, ensure that the logfile used
for the replay contains the information about the MS.
Choose View > Information. Then, you can view the contents in the logfile in the displayed Information window.
