The following pages provide detailed information about:
The QuantiQa Client Main Window.

The Main Menu.
Toolbars.
Windows and Panels.
Tools.
Default Windows.

The Chart Builder.
Result Windows.
The "QuantiQa Client User Manual Part 2" contains the appendices to this

Client, please refer to the "QuantiQa Client Getting Started Guide".
The availability of certain QuantiQa Client functions to individual users,
depends upon their particular User Rights. For further information about the
rights available to you, please contact your system administrator. This
QuantiQa Client User Manual does not include, in detail, how to define User
Rights.
NOTE:
The examples of screens, menus and dialog boxes shown in this
manual, may differ slightly from those displayed by your system,
depending upon which Microsoft Windows version you are using, and
your local settings.
B EFORE Y OU R UN Q UANTI Q A C LIENT

QuantiQa Client accesses servers using the settings defined in the
server.cfg file.
If any of these settings are not formatted correctly, missing,

or wrong, connections with one, several, or all servers, will
fail.
A correctly configured server.cfg file is provided with the QuantiQa Client

Software Distribution Package. This is copied to the QuantiQa Client
software root directory, during installation. Under normal circumstances, you
should not need to change these settings.
If however, you are unsure about the server configuration settings, you
should check that the server.cfg file entries are correct, before starting a
QuantiQa Client session. For further information about the server.cfg file,
please refer to the "QuantiQa Client User Manual Part 2".
QuantiQa Client Main

Window
This chapter introduces the QuantiQa Client Main Window, which displays
after you have successfully logged on to the application. The Main Window
is the primary user interface, and provides access to all of QuantiQa Client's
toolbars, windows, panels, controls and dialog boxes. These enable you to:
Create reports from data stored on the connected server.

Manage tickets, and analyze transactions in detail.
Access the protocol analyzer, to review protocol messages and
Packet Data Units (PDU).
Manage, set, upload and run alarms, as well as retrieve data about
alarms that have been previously defined.
T HE M AIN W INDOW A FTER Y OU S TART Q UANTI Q A C LIENT F OR

T HE F IRST T IME
When you start QuantiQa Client for the first time, the Main Window
displays, as shown in Figure 1: The QuantiQa Client Main Window. It
includes all of the controls needed to build a query, and manage the
application's advanced features. All toolbars, windows, panels and controls

QuantiQa Client Main Window
T HE M AIN W INDOW C OMP ONEN TS

The QuantiQa Client Main Window is made up of the following:
The Title Bar.

The Main Menu.
Toolbars.
Windows and Panels.
The Status Bar.
TITLE BAR
The Title Bar displays the name of the application, and includes standard
Windows control buttons, to minimize, restore and close the Main Window.
M A I N M E N U (M E N U B A R )
The Main Menu , also referred to as the Menu Bar, provides access to a
range of dropdown lists, in a similar way to the main menus of other
Microsoft Windows based applications. These lists enable you to, for
example, open windows, change passwords, or display documentation. The
Main Menu is treated in many ways like a Toolbar in QuantiQa Client, and
can be relocated, or hidden, as required.
TO OL B ARS
All QuantiQa Client toolbars, apart from the Map Tools toolbar, display by
default, at the top of the Main Window, and provide access to several of the
applications tools and advanced functions. Toolbars can be hidden, or
relocated as required, with the exception of the Map Tools toolbar, which is
permanently docked within the Map Results window.
W I N D O W S A N D PA N E L S
The QuantiQa Client windows act, together with the toolbars, as the main
user interface. Certain windows also include collapsible panels. Windows,
together with any panels that they might include, can be hidden, or relocated
as required. Panels can only be collapsed or expanded, within the parent
window, and cannot be individually repositioned.
T H E S TAT U S B A R
The Status Bar displays information about any current application activity,
and for example, whether the keyboard Number Lock is on, and so on. In
general, it functions in a similar way to the status bars of many other
Microsoft Windows based applications. The position of the Status Bar is
fixed, and it cannot be relocated elsewhere, although it may be hidden.
R EARRANGING Q UANTI Q A C LIENT ' S A PPEARANCE

You can customize QuantiQa Client's appearance, and rearrange the Main
Menu, toolbars and control windows (which can be docked, floating, or
hidden), to a layout that suits your personal needs. This new layout is then
stored by QuantiQa Client when you exit, and applied the next time that you
log on. The same is true for any layout created by other users.
MO VE T H E MA IN ME NU , A TO OL B AR , OR A WIN DO W
To move the Main Menu, a toolbar, or a window:
1.
Click and hold the Toolbar Control Handle, or the Window Title bar.

A G G R E G AT I O N
The Aggregation Mode Selection panel includes a selectable dropdown
list, positioned to the right of the Detail field. This enables you to define
aggregation according to the hierarchical structure of the database, the level
within the hierarchy. or Managed Object properties. The contents of the
dropdown list vary, according to the individual network configuration.
52
F I G U R E 8.7 : A G G R E G AT I O N M O D E S E L E C T I O N PA N E L D R O P D O W N L I S T.
Many networks are subdivided into hierarchical groups. These may include,
for example, networks, clusters, and members, or be far more complex,
according to each individual operator's specific environment. QuantiQa
Client allows data to be collected from each level of the hierarchy, and
enables you to aggregate the results as required.
For example, you may want a report that summarizes the results of a query
at the cluster hierarchical level. QuantiQa Client adds all cluster member
data together, and presents the cluster totals in the report. Aggregation at
the network level is carried out in the same way, while individual member
information remains available from the database, if required.
HIERARCHICAL LEVELS
The hierarchical levels that are supported vary according to each cellular
network, combined with the type of data being monitored, and the collection
methods being deployed. However, one common hierarchy that is supported
for most networks is:
Controller > Cell Sector > TRX.
These hierarchy levels in particular, provide essential quality and location
information, within the radio network. Other hierarchies may include, for
example, cell neighbor relationships, or other interactions with network
equipment, such as Mobile Switching Centers (MSC) and Home Location
Registers (HLR).
53
EXAMPLE OF HIERARCHICAL LEVELS

In the following example, a BSC > Cell > TRX hierarchy is described. The
Detail dropdown list displays the following entries:
BSC.
Query results are reported at BSC level (one result for each unique
BSC selected).
Cell.
Query results are reported at Cell level (one result for each unique
Cell selected).
TRX.
Query results are reported at TRX level (one result for each unique
TRX selected).
All.
Query results are reported as one single value, which includes the
results for all the Managed Objects selected.
RE-HOMING MANAGEMENT
An additional hierarchical level, Cell NOREHOM, may also be displayed in
the Aggregation Mode Selection dropdown list. This level enables you to
manage the re-parenting or re-homing of a cell, and allows measurements to
be displayed independent of the current parent MO.
F I G U R E 8.8 : C E L L L E V E L A G G R E G AT I O N ,

If cell measurements for each parent MO overlap, the sum of the
measurements is displayed.
NOTE:
If cell measurements are made, and then Cell NOREHOM is selected,
only those measurements made following its selection are displayed.
NAMING HIERARCHICAL LEVELS

When a server connection entry is added to the Server Configuration file,
you can specify a name for each of the hierarchical levels supported by the
relevant database. These names subsequently display in the Aggregation
Mode Selection panel dropdown list, and are included in any report that is
generated.
The names for the hierarchical levels are added to the @smoplm column of
the Server Configuration file (server.cfg). You can use any name in the
@smoplm column, as required. As a result, database names that are
perhaps less understandable, are translated to an immediately recognized
term, of your own choosing, when displayed on-screen, or included in
reports.
If no name is specified, the default that is applied is PARENT,NAME. This
correlates to BSC and Cell, as defined by the default RADIOQOS hierarchy.
For further information about the server.cfg file, please refer to the
"QuantiQa Client User Manual Part 2"
PROPERTIES
Property based aggregation allows you to query the database, and view the
results for a hierarchy, or hierarchical level, organized according to defined
MO properties, such as the technology used, or geographical location.
Property-based aggregation entries in the Aggregation Mode Selection
panel dropdown list, can be readily identified, through the '@' character at
the beginning of the name, for example, @Cell.Technology. In this instance,
the hierarchical level is 'Cell', and 'Technology' is the property.
55
IMPORTANT: If a query is run using, for example, hierarchical level

aggregation, it can be rerun, with a different preset, if required.
If however, a query is run using Managed Object property
aggregation, it will not possible to repeat it, without updating the MO
list from the server, and selecting the required MOs again. This is
because after running a query that has been aggregated in this way,
the MO Selection window displays a hierarchical list of MO
properties, rather than the MOs themselves.
As a result, if you attempt to repeat the query, a window, similar to the
following displays:

The MO Selection window consists of:
The Title Bar.

The MO Selection toolbar.
The MO Profile and Group toolbar.
The Column Drag & Drop area.
The Managed Object list.
The following sections describe each of these components in further detail,

starting with the Managed Object list.
57
THE MANAGED OBJECT LIST

After a server, date range and time interval have been chosen in the Main
Selection window, the MO Selection window displays the Managed
Objects (MO) that are included in the server's database during the period
defined by the date and time parameters, together with their relevant
properties, in the Managed Object list. The Managed Objects are
organized as a selectable, alpha-numerical listing of top-level MOs, linked
as appropriate, to further MOs, through drop-down hierarchical lists.
By default, the top-level MOs represent the highest level of aggregation
available (excluding the ALL option), for the hierarchy chosen in the
Aggregation Mode Selection panel. For example, the default RADIOQOS
hierarchy has ALL, BSC, Cell and TRX aggregation levels available. As a
result, BSC is selected as the initial aggregation level.
NOTE:
The MO Selection list can be aggregated according to MO properties,
hierarchies, or hierarchy levels. For further information, please refer to
"The Main Selection Window, The Aggregation Mode Selection
Panel", earlier in this Manual.
The MO properties that are displayed, vary according to the selected
hierarchy, or hierarchy level.
In addition to other details, an MO property list may also include its
geographical co-ordinates. While this means, for example, that any
hierarchy, hierarchy level, or MO, may potentially be displayed on a
map, this functionality is still being developed, and at the present time,
it is limited to representing MOs as cell orientation sticks. For further
information about cell sticks, please refer to "The Map Result
Window", later in this Manual.
Although under normal circumstances, MO details are very consistent, with

little, or no change, the relationship between managed objects and the
selected time interval, is key to successfully querying the database, and the
available results. As a result, whenever the time interval is changed, for
example, if you choose a new date range, QuantiQa Client performs a new
database query, and the MO Selection window is updated.
It is important to remember that:
58
When an MO appears in the Managed Object list, this confirms both

that it exists, and is included in the database during the selected time
interval. However, this does not mean that it is available for the whole
period.
The contents of the MO Selection list depends upon a suitable and
applicable Results Output Period (ROP) being selected, for the
network concerned.
VIEWING MANAGED OBJECTS

Initially, only the top-level MOs are displayed, as shown in "Figure 9.1". To
view the managed objects that are part of the hierarchical list associated
with a top-level MO:
1.
Click the '+' button, to the left of the relevant top-level MO.
Result:
A drop-down list of MOs displays.
F I G U R E 9.2: T O P - L E V E L MO W I T H D R O P - D O W N H I E R A R C H I C A L L I S T D I S P L AY E D .
NOTE:
When a drop-down list is displayed, this can influence whether MOs in
a hierarchy are shown in a Result window. For further information,
please refer to the "MO Visibility" section, later in this chapter, and
the "Map Result Window" chapter, later in this Manual.
T H E MO S E L E C T I O N T O O L B A R
F I G U R E 9.3: T H E MO S E L E C T I O N T O O L B A R .
The MO Selection toolbar includes controls that enable you to display
managed object lists, select the objects to be queried, and toggle the
visibility of selected MOs. It has the following buttons:
Global MO List.
Result Window MO List.
Highlight All.
Remove Highlight From All.
Invert Highlighting.
Toggle Visibility.
59
Lock Visibility.
Select All Highlighted MOs.
Deselect All Highlighted MOs.
Toggle Selection of All Highlighted MOs.
Find MO.
Column or Field Chooser.
Collapse All Groups.
Expand All Groups.
Query Server to Expand All MOs.
Each button does the following:
G L O B A L MO L I S T
This button displays all available objects, within the Managed Object list.
Initially only the top-level MOs are visible.
R E S U LT W I N D O W MO L I S T
This button displays, within the Managed Object list, only the objects that
are present in a Result window, such as a map, chart, or table.
Because queries are processed from the latest data on the server,
without direct reference to the MO Selection window, the MOs listed
before running a preset, may differ to those shown afterward. This
may occur when for example, the server sends results for MOs that
have been expanded, or aggregated, differently to those in the original
Managed Object list. In most cases, the lists before and after a query
will be the same, however this is not always so.
This also means that if a preset is run multiple times, the results may
differ for each run. This is especially true if, for example, the visibility
of MOs in a Result window is changed, before rerunning the preset.
HIGHLIGHT ALL
This button highlights every MO within the Managed Object list.
REMOVE HIGHLIGHT FROM ALL

This button removes the highlighting from every MO within the Managed
Object list.
60
INVERT HIGHLIGHTING
This button highlights those MOs within the Managed Object list, which
previously were not highlighted, and removes the highlighting from those
that were.
NOTE:
MOs are highlighted in order to either bulk select them for inclusion in
a query, or to toggle their visibility in a Result window.
TOGGLE VISIBILITY
This button toggles the visibility of the highlighted MOs in a Result window,
between on and off. The Lightbulb icon, positioned to the left of a managed
object, changes between yellow for on, and blue for off, and the MOs
visibility in a query Result window, is updated accordingly.
The Toggle Visibility button is only available when the Lock Visibility
button is set to unlock. For further information, please refer to the Lock
Visibility button, below.
LOCK VISIBILITY
This button locks and unlocks the visibility of MOs in a Result window.
When this button is clicked (the default state), visibility is locked, and only
the MOs that are selected to be used when running a query, are displayed in
a Result window. In addition, the Show Only Expanded Rows button, on
the Map Top toolbar, in a Map Result window, is deactivated. For further
information about the Show Only Expanded Rows button, please refer to
the "Map Result Window" chapter, later in this Manual.
When visibility is unlocked, you can independently determine which MOs
display in a Result window, regardless of whether they are to be used when
running a query. For further information about the visibility of an MO in a
Result window, please refer to the "MO Visibility" section, later in this
chapter.
NOTE:
If you manually select which MOs display when visibility is unlocked,
and later click the Lock Visibility button, all MOs that are not selected
to be used when running a query, will no longer show in the Result
window.
S E L E C T A L L H I G H L I G H T E D MO S
This button selects all highlighted MOs, ensuring that they are used when
running a query. The tick-box to the left of each MO is checked accordingly.
If the Lock Visibility button is clicked, the relevant MOs are shown in a

An MO in the Managed Object list, can have one of four states:
Not selected to be used when processing a preset, and not visible in a

Result window, such as a map (the default state).
Not selected to be used when processing a preset, but visible in a
Result window, such as a map. This state is only possible before a
preset is run.
Selected to be used when processing a preset, and visible in a Result
window, such as a map (the default selected state).
Selected to be used when processing a preset, but not be visible in a

The Preset Selection window contains two types of Presets:
Predefined presets.
Presets which are included in the installation package. These are
located in the directory under the /preset directory and organized in
directories below /preset.
User defined presets.

Presets created by the user and these can be located anywhere the
user desires, but QuantiQa Client GUI will only access presets from
the installation /preset directory structure.
In the Preset Selection window the presets of all directories and

subdirectories appear within a tree structure. To expand, or collapse a tree
level, click the folder. The illustrated tree structure corresponds exactly to
the directory structure under the installation /preset directory. For the above
example, the preset directory contains the following visible directories:
/preset/2G LB QoS;
/preset/2G Radio QoS;
/preset/Abis_rev_02;
/preset/Abis_rev_02/CHARTS;
Within the Preset directories are the preset files, either predefined or userdefined. The files, LinkBalance 1800_chart and RxLev_RxQUAL_UL, are
just 2 of the many preset files shown available here within the
Abis_rev02/CHARTS library directory.

Relational operators use a fix left value which is represented by the x
lowercase letter. The x letter refers to the value of the adjacent field. Logical
Operators can be combined together with relational operators to build
complex expressions.
When building complex expressions, relational operators are evaluated
before logical operators. For clarity when building expressions, users can
use spaces to separate each variable, operator and value, but this is not
essential. Equally users can use round parenthesis to group subexpressions to ensure intended order of evaluation, or to just make complex
expressions more readable.

DD server advanced ticket filtering allows you to filter tickets that have
variable length fields. To search, for example, for a field that includes the
expression 123:
5.

I.
Type 123, or the ASCII equivalent, as the search string.
or:
II.
Type a search string, using wildcards, for example, 1*3.
Result:
Any tickets with a field that includes the search string are

The Preset Editor
F I G U R E 14.1: T H E P R E S E T E D I T O R W I T H T O O L B A R A N D C O L U M N S .
The Preset Editor enables the user to create result definitions that can be
used to query the server database for measurement information and provide
results that can be visually be represented on maps, in tables or in charts.
Each entry in the preset definition represents a query and returns results
that could be in scalar, vector or table form. Depending on the results, the
measurements from the server can be visualized in QuantiQa Client in many
different ways.
The Toolbar buttons are:
New Preset
Clears the current preset entries and allows

the user to add new formula entries.
Load Preset
Opens a file browser to allow the user to

select a preset file to edit.
Save Preset
Allows the user to save the current preset to

a user defined file name and folder.
Revert to Saved
Revert to last saved.
Add Formula
Creates an entry in the preset editor with

some of the columns or fields with default
values. The user can modify each field within
the preset entry.
Duplicate Formula
Duplicates a line in the preset.
Delete Formula
Deletes a line in the preset.
Move Formula Down Moves a line down.

Move Formula Up
Moves a line up.
Synchronize Lists
Refreshes the DD Item and Colormap

dropdown lists with newly created information
from the preset entries. For example, a user
may add a new colormap to the colormap
directory; the Sync button would rebuild the
dropdown list to include the newly added
colormap.
F I G U R E 14.2: E D I T I N G A P R E S E T.
For every entry or row in the preset editor, each column in the row is
editable. Some fields indicate droplists with selections, checkboxes, editable
textfields for characters or numeric values. The modifications for the fields
affect the results for QuantiQa. When a Preset is selected for a query the
entries for the preset are used in the query. When the preset editor window
is closed, if a change has been made the user is invited to save the file.
Each of the preset editors fields is identified and described below:
Name.
Specify the name of the results from the Formula field. This name
will be used in dropdown lists and sliders for selection of the
corresponding measurement results as specified in the Formula field.
Formula.
Specify the table, counter, formula or JavaScript function required to
return the desired results. The results will be associated with the name
entered in the Name field.
Table and counter selection follow the same parsing rules and
selection methods as designed in both CommProve Netledge and
CommProve Quantiqa. Detailed explanations for the formulas are
given in the appendices.
To determine the difference between a server Table or Counter name
and Javascript function calls, the user must delineate all server table
names, counters, and server formulas with quotes. For example, the
following formula is surrounded in quotes and specifies to QuantiQa
the RLINKISSUES and associated formulas can be found and
calculated on the server:
"RLINKISSUES[0:0][$]/RLINKISSUES[0:0][]*100"
However, the following example without quotes indicates to QuantiQa
to call the given JavaScript:
90
The Preset Editor
Traffico()
The formulas can mix Tables, Counters and/or JavaScript in the same
preset. The following JavaScript would be executed in order and all
entries would return the same results:
Traffico()
TrafficFunction("RXQUL[][]")
RXQUL[][]
Where the JavaScript for the two functions are:
formula Traffico (result, "RXQUL[][]" as traf)
{
print (ne.NAME+" Traff_formula = "+traf.Get()+"\n");
result.Set(traf.Get());
}
and
function TrafficFunction (result, traf)
{
print (ne.NAME+" Traff_function= "+traf.Get()+"\n");
result.Set(999); Notice user defined return result in table.
}
RXQUL[][] is a simple data query to the server that returns the same
scalar value.
This would produce the following results in table form:
Console entries within QuantiQa that correspond to the print statements

within the JavaScript:
91
Notice that within JavaScript functions you can use the ne variable to print
different attributes of the MO that are designated as display names in the
server configuration file ( ne.NAME or ne.PARENT ).
Show R Click.
Specify whether the right mouse click will display scalar and vector
tables for the results directly on the map.
Map Type.
Specify the visualization mechanism used by the map to display the
results. The options available are:
Split Drop.
Creates a colored teardrop image to represent scalar and
vector data points at the MO point on the map. The color of the
drop will be shaded based on the colormap value.
Split Ball.
Creates a single circle at the tip of the MO stick to represent the
value for scalars only. The color of the ball will be shaded based
on the colormap value.
TA Vector.
Creates an arc a valid distance from the Managed Object on the
map representing a location at which the measurement
occurred. The color of the arc will be shaded based on the
colormap value.

same preset definition.
Colormap.
Specify the colormap to use in Maps and Charts when viewing the
measurement results. The colormap will specify the color of the drop,
ball, TA vector arc, pie, and/or bar chart. Color maps can be user
defined to generate the necessary colors for each value as required by
the user.

PIE, BAR
AND
XY C H A R T S
The controls for Pie, Bar and XY charts are different, but are the same in
terms of their grouping for setting their respective chart properties. These
groupings are as follows:
Title Area controls.

This group selects the chart, the chart type and determines its title
name.
Axis controls.
For pie charts and 2-D bar charts, there is one axis only (for pie: angle
of slice, for 2-D bar: the x-axis). For 3-D Bar and Line charts, 2 axes
are available (bars and sets). Drop-down boxes allow assignment of
one of the 6 resultset coordinates to each available axis.
Coordinate controls.
Coordinates not used for the axis, can still be displayed by other
means dependant on the type of chart (height, colormap, sector size
and displacement). Up to 4 dimensional settings are possible for pie
charts, up to 2 for 2-D charts (height and colormap), and 1 for 3-D
charts (height).
Axis Labels and Orientation.

A text string can optionally be included as a title for each of axis. In
addition the orientation of the value labels for the x-axis, can be set
anywhere between 0 and 360.
Show As controls.
For 3-D charts only, either Lines or Bars can be selected.
Custom Area.
Facilities exist for some chart forms, for the use of custom colors (i.e.
user selected) or custom labels.

Widgets.
NOTE:
The Gauge type chart is affected by all sliders.
For further information about these controls, please refer to the previous
section of this Guide.
The remaining controls used to create a Gauge chart, differ from those used
to define the other types of chart. These controls are:
Position control.
This allows you to define the co-ordinates that the gauge uses. All six
co-ordinates, formula, MO, ROP, X, Y and Z are used to determine the
gauge needle position.
When the Set button is clicked, the Chart Builder Coordinates
window displays. For further details about using the Chart Builder
Coordinates window, please refer to "Co-ordinate Values" and
"Figure 15.17: Chart Builder Coordinates", earlier in this chapter.
Show colormap ring box.

When selected, this displays the formula's colormap as a progressive
ring around the circumference of the gauge.
111
Show value box.

When selected, this displays the numeric value of the gauge's current
needle position in the chart panel.
Decimal control.
This allows you to define the number of decimal places to which
displayed results are rounded.
Major tick step control.

This allows you to define how often major division marks appear on
the face of the gauge. For example, setting the Major tick step
control to 5, means that a major division mark will display at every 5
units.
Minor tick control.

This allows you to define how often major divisions are subdivided
with minor division marks. For example, setting the Major tick step
control to 5, and the Minor tick control to 10, means that 10 minor
division marks will display, each representing 0.5 units.
Micro tick control.

This allows you to define how often minor divisions are subdivided.
with micro division marks. For example, setting the Micro tick control
to 10, means that a minor division will be subdivided into 10 micro
sections. In the example used above, these would each represent 0.05
units.

Query Results
After a successful query to the server database, measurement data follows
in the form of a resultset. It will be recalled that the query contains MO, ROP
and preset information. The ResultSet is a structure containing MO, ROP,
ITEM (preset formula), X, Y and Z information. Each value of the ResultSet
can be addressed by using these 6 coordinates.
MAPS
For the map, the user only needs to select a cell element. The measurement
is retrieved from the ResultSet based on the selected cell element. To view
the data for a cell element, select the line or wand protruding from the cell
center (depicted as a small circle). After selection, right-click to bring up a
pop-up containing a scalar value, a scroll list containing all the timing
advance values or a pop-up table containing values.
TABLES
For the table all the data measurements available in the ResultSet will be
viewed which means all the sets of values for the 6 coordinates are used.
The measurements are displayed in a grid format on the Table/Record
window.
CHARTS
When plotting a chart, settings for the 6 coordinates are defined in a chart
layout file. The chart layout files are built using the Chart Builder. From the
chart layout configuration, defined sliders and/or dropdown lists contain the
possible selections for the 6 coordinates. The sliders and droplists will be
visible at the bottom of the main Chart window. The user can set the sliders
and droplists to alter the charting of the data from the ResultSet..
The concept of the ResultSet with the coordinate information for the MO,
ROP, ITEM, X, Y and Z is complex to describe. It was mentioned here purely
to give an overview of the ResultSet. The user does not require detailed
knowledge of the ResultSet to view the data but an awareness may help in
describing some of the GUI controls used to manipulate the retrieval of data.
The following sections describe the map, table and chart views of the data
retrieved from the ResultSet.
The following chapters describe the results windows in more detail.

The Map Result Window
F I G U R E 17.1: T H E M A P R E S U LT W I N D O W .
The Map Result window provides a geographical view of cell locations and
cell data. It consists of:
The Map Title Bar.

The Map Top toolbar.
The Map Tools toolbar.
The Map Results panel.
The Map Color Scale.
The Bottom toolbar.
In addition to displaying query results as a map, a Map Result window can

also be opened before running a preset, to display the geographical position
of Managed Objects that are selected in the MO Selection window. This
enables you, for example, to more readily identify the MOs to use when
running a preset, according to their location.

GLOBAL DROPDOWN LIST

The dropdown list contains the names from the preset file when the type
identified in the Presets List column is Global or Both. For example,
notice the List column for the row Traf indicates Global. This means
Traf will appear in the Global Dropdown list on the maps toolbar as is
indicated above. If the List column indicated Both then Traf would be
listed in the Global Dropdown list and the Drilldown Dropdown list.
L O C K D R I L L D O W N L AY E R
Lock button locks or unlocks the Drilldown droplist. When locked the
Drilldown droplist is grayed out. When unlocked the background of the Lock
button icon is highlighted and the Drilldown droplist enabled. The locked
mode sets the DrillDown mouse mode to use the formula indicated in the
Presets DD Item column for the Drilldown data. For example, the DD Item
for the row Traf indicates formula TrafTA so this formulas data will be
used on the map when the DrillDown mouse mode is invoked.
DRILLDOWN DROP LIST

The Drilldown Droplist is enabled when the Lock Button is in an unlocked
state. The droplist contains the Names from the Preset file when the type
identified in the Presets List column is Drill or Both. For example, the
List column for the row TrafTA indicates Drill. This means TrafTA will
appear in the Drilldown Droplist. If the List column indicated Both then
TrafTA would be listed in the Global Droplist and the Drilldown Droplist.
When the Lock button (described above) is unlocked then the data from
formula listed in the Drilldown Droplist is used on the map.
118
AUTOSCALE
This turns the Autoscaling on and off and the button is highlighted when
on (default condition). Autoscaling uses the selected formula in the Global
Droplist to determine the colormap scaling. When colormap scaling changes
it will change the background color of the colormap labels which affects the
data colors on the map such as the teardrop color and TA sector color.
PRINT
The Print button enables you to print a copy of the map area currently
displayed in the Map Result window. Maps can be printed in landscape or
portrait format and, if the area displayed is to large for the selected paper
size, it is scaled down to fit the page.
PIXEL

F I G U R E 17.8: M A P A U T O S C A L E I S O F F .
When Autoscale is off it uses the minimum and maximum values indicated
in the Min and Max columns in the Preset for the selected formula. For the
Preset example above, on the Traf row the Min column equals 0 and
the Max column equals 5. For the map this sets the colormap scaling
between 0 5. We are using Traf because it is the selected formula in the
Global Droplist.
F I G U R E 17.9: M A P A U T O S C A L E I S O N .
When Autoscale is on the data retrieved for the selected formula
determines the minimum and maximum value used for the colormap scaling.
In the above figure, the minimum value appears to be 0.179 and the
maximum value to be 2.878. Note: When on the minimum and maximum
values are determined by comparing all the values in the query including all
ROP time periods.

T HE M AP R ESULTS PANEL
The Map Results panel includes a Geographical Information System (GIS)
with an overlay of the retrieved data from a query. The GIS map will vary
depending upon the customer locations for QOS assessment. The map can
indicate the cell locations based on longitude and latitude, and the
technology of each antenna. It can indicate the distance between cell
locations. The user can view the managed object measurements for each
cell. This section will describe the use of the map controls found on the Map
Window and the map tools located on the Main Window.
129
The map creation uses the query information containing the managed
objects, the preset formulas, the time periods and the element data. Each
managed object has geographic properties such as the longitude, latitude
and direction to determine the cell locations. See the MO Selection window
for the geographical properties in a tabular format.
C E L L L O C AT I O N A N D C E L L S E C T O R
F I G U R E 17.14: M A P W I T H 2 C E L L L O C AT I O N S .
The map shown above is of a geographic area with 2 cell locations on the
map. A cell location is based on the longitude and latitude. The cell location
is indicated as a circle. A cell location can have cell sectors. A cell sector is
indicated as a black, blue, purple or red protruding line from the cell circle. If
the line is red then the cell sector is selected. The sector line is drawn
based on the direction of the MO(s) associated with this line.
When a cell sector is not selected, its length and color indicates its
technology layer:
A long black stick indicates L1 layer (usually assigned to GSM900).

A medium length dark blue stick indicates L2 layer (usually assigned
to GSM1800).
A short dark purple stick represents L3 layer (usually assigned to FDD
UMTS).
The 2 cell locations each have 2 cell sectors. Each cell sector has a colored
teardrop shape surrounding it. The teardrop or drop color corresponds to the
colormap legend on the right side of the map frame. The colormap legend
indicates values with a different colored label for each value. So a drop color
is an indicator of the value retrieved from the query.
130
F I G U R E 17.15: C E L L L O C AT I O N W I T H T R A F D ATA .
On the map above is a cell sector with a label 4017699. The drop color is
white and matches the colormap indicator with an approximate value of
2.878. The above figure indicates a popup with the label, Traf 2.847600.
This popup label corresponds to cell sector 4017699. To see the values for
the cell sectors, select a cell sector at the line protruding from the cell
location then right-click, a popup appears indicating the values for each
preset formula. In this example there are 2 formulas, Traf and TrafTA.
The value which is visible is for Traf. As mentioned previously the data
values and preset formula information are available in the ResultSet.
F I G U R E 17.16: C E L L L O C AT I O N W I T H T R A F TA D ATA .
The above figure shows a partial map with a cell sector selected and a popup with data visible. The second formula, TrafTA, is a 2G vector. The
vector is depicted as a one row scroll list. This vector is a timing advance
(TA) which can have up to 64 values and is the reason for the addition of the
scroll bar. Scrolling to the left or right allows you to view all 64 values.
The cell sector labeled 4017699 displays a red line protruding from the
cell location. This indicates the cell sector is selected. In addition, when a
cell sector is selected on the map the selection is also highlighted on the
MO Selection window.

In the case where there are multiple MOs with the same longitude, latitude
and direction, the cell sector line will be thicker. In the above figure, the first
image contains 2 cell sectors. The image on the left has more than one MO
as indicated with a thicker sector line. When the thicker sector line is
selected a pop-up containing a labeled check box for each MO is visible as
indicated in the second image. The user can click on a check box and the
associated MO will be selected on the map as the third image indicates with
the multiple MO sector line being red.
Although the pop-up is centered over the cell sector on the right, the check
box selections affect the cell sector on the left. As mentioned previously
when a cell sector is selected on the map the MO is also selected in the list
of MOs in the MO Selection Window. For multiple MOs on the same cell
sector, when a check box is selected that MO is selected in the MO
Selection Window.

On the QuantiQa Client GUI the color map scale is a gui control which is
used for the map and the charts. This example of a colormap scale also
includes a slider with 2 thumbs on the right side of the scale. Only the map
will have a colormap scale with a slider.
A colormap file determines the colors used on the scale. The specific
colormap file is set in the Preset file for the Query.
The colormap scale allows a graphic indication of a value. The data values
have a direct correlation to a color. On the map the data can be presented
as colored tear drops around cell sectors or as TA sectors resembling
colored arcs echoing out from a cell. On a chart data points are plotted and
the result will be various colored lines, bars or pie slices.
A colormap scale is visible with a slider to the right of the scale. The slider is
used to set a range of values visible on the map. On the slider are 2 thumbs;
one is positioned high at > 2.878 and the other positioned low at < 0.169.
The scale between the thumbs is the range of values which can be viewed
on the map. By sliding either the high thumb or low thumb, the effect on the
map is that the color disappears for those teardrops or TA sectors where the
color value is no longer in the range.
133
F I G U R E 17.20: T E X T B O X W I T H T H E T H U M B V A L U E .
There are two methods to modify the slider range using the thumbs. One is
to drag either thumb to the desired value. The second method is to select a
thumb with the mouse and right-click. A pop-up with an editable text field is
displayed for a value to be entered. When the pop-up text field appears the
current value is set to the current position of the thumb on the numeric
scale. The result of editing a thumb value is the thumb will slide to the new
value which will increase or decrease the range of the color values which
are viewable on the map.

The Table Result Window
F I G U R E 18.1: TA B L E A N D R E C O R D S I N A TA B L E R E S U LT S W I N D O W .
The Table Result window contains the managed object data in a tabular
format. Along with the data, the table can also display the information for the
managed objects. The query result information contains the selected
managed objects, the ROP time settings, the formulas in the Preset and the
measurements retrieved from the server database. The Table/Record is
filled using some of the query result information. To display query
information in a table/record window the user can drag and drop a new
resultset from another result window or select a preset then execute a table.
TABLE G RID
The structure of the table is a grid which allows sorting of the table by
column . The first row of the grid is the header row containing the Title and
type of the column. The titles depicted in the header row shown are ROP,
Parent, Name, Traf, TrafTA, Read Tables(%) and % Data. The
subsequent rows contain ResultSet information retrieved from the query and
organized in the grid according to the column header type. The header row
titles will differ for at least 2 of the columns. In this example the Parent
column references the querys aggregation type which can vary depending
on the Preset, and the Traf and TrafTA columns which are the Preset
formulas. The number of columns in the header row will vary based on the
number of formulas in the Querys Preset and the number of columns which
are not hidden.
141
In the Table/Record example there are 3 ROP times ( 11/12 12:00 11/12
13:00, 11/12 13:00 11/12 14:00, 11/12 14:00 11/12 15:00 ), 4
managed objects ( 44017698, 44017699, 44017721, 44017722 ), and
2 Preset formulas ( Traf and TrafTA ). The twelve rows of data
information are for the 4 managed objects multiplied by the 3 time periods
(ROP).
The data or measurements retrieved from the query are different for each
Preset formula, for each managed object at each ROP.
The Read Tables(%)column indicates the percentage of the database
tables which responded from the initial query. The % Data column
indicates the percentage of possible counters returned from the query.
TA B L E /R E C O R D T I T L E B A R
F I G U R E 18.2: TA B L E T I T L E B A R .
At the top of each Table Window the title bar contains a title on the left and
window controls on the right. The title is formatted as Server name - Preset
name - ROP time period. For example in the aboved figure, the server
name is Allen, the preset is Main_TRAF and the first ROP is 11/12 12:00
11/12 13:00.
The controls on the top right are the focus, window options, and the close

AND 1 SLIDER.
The Chart Result window consists of a title bar, toolbar, panels with chart
images and a bottom toolbar. A chart can be created and viewed after a
query is successfully completed.
An empty chart window can be created by going to the Main Window New
Menu and selecting New Chart. A result can be dragged and dropped into
the chart window to start the processing of creating and displaying the
charts.
There are 5 chart types Pie, 2D Bar, 3D Bar, 3D Line and Gauge, which can
be created. Each chart will have at least one axis and one dimension. The
chart result windows tools and chart layout area are explained in later
sections.
C HART L AYOUT A ND R ESULTSET

When a query result is received by the result window, a file containing the
layout of the charts will be read. The layout file will indicate :
The chart type for each chart.

The initial resultset coordinates for each chart.
Whether sliders or dropdown lists are available on the bottom toolbar
of the charts dialog window.
149
The number of charts is determined by the number of chart descriptions in

the chart layout file. The available chart types in the layout file are :
Pie.
2-Dimensional Bar.
3-Dimensional Bar.
3-Dimensional Line.
Gauge.
The values plotted on the charts are retrieved from the ResultSet. When a
query is sent to the server, a successful response will return a ResultSet.
The ResultSet is a structure containing MO, ROP, Preset ITEM (formula), X,
Y and Z information. Each value of the ResultSet can be addressed by using
these 6 coordinates. Each pie, bar and line chart is able to have one of the 6
coordinates as a chart axis and the axis is set in the layout file. The other 5
coordinates can also be set in the layout file or a default setting is used. All
6 co-ordinates are used to define the position of the needle in a gauge
chart.
The example in the figure above, has 3 chart images, a 3D Bar chart, a 3D
Line chart and a Pie chart. The layout file would contain at least 3 chart
descriptions for the example. The file also defines a droplist for ROP, a
droplist for MO, a droplist for ITEM and a slider for X.
Some of the chart types can have 1 or more dimensions. In the figure
above, the Pie Chart has multiple dimensions. The width of the pie slices is
one dimension. The height of the pie slice can be a dimension. The color of
the pie slice can be a dimension. The dimensions for each chart type are
described in the chart type section for the Pie, 2D Line, 3D Line and 3D Bar.
The user will be able to configure the number of dimensions by making the
proper settings for the particular chart type using the Chart Builder.
CHART TITLE BAR
F I G U R E 19.2: C H A R T W I N D O W T I T L E B A R .
At the top of each Chart window the title bar contains a title on the left and
window controls on the right. The title is formatted as Server name - Preset
name - ROP. In the example above, the server name is Allen and the
preset is Main_TRAF.

There are 2 controls to set autoscaling. There is the Autoscale button and
the Data dropdown list. The button allows autoscaling to be turned on and
off with the button highlighted when on. Turning on autoscaling affects
the colormap scaling according to the range of the minimum and maximum
values. Changing the colormap scale will affect the chart image colors
based on the range.
The Data dropdown list determines the amount data used to set the
minimum and maximum values. The data is either Autoscale to all data or
Autoscale to visible data. For all data the minimum and maximum values
are based on all the resultset data. For visible data the minimum and
maximum values are based on the data retrieved from the settings of the
sliders and droplists on the bottom of the Chart Window.

The sliders and dropdown lists at the bottom of the Chart Result window
are configurable. The definition of the sliders and dropdown lists are made
in the chart layout file using the Chart Builder.
As mentioned previously the query resultset contains the values or
measurements used to plot the points on the charts. To extract values from
the resultset structure there are 6 coordinates, MO, ROP, ITEM, X, Y and Z.
The sliders and droplists are defined using the 6 coordinate types.

determine how many sliders or dropdown lists to create. The maximum
number of sliders and dropdown lists is 6, one for each coordinate type. The
minimum number of sliders or dropdown lists can be 0 because it is not a
requirement to define a slider or dropdown list. The size of the coordinate in
the resultset determines the slider range. The coordinates names in the
resultset defines the item strings in the dropdown list.
For a simple example, consider a query with 4 MOs with the names
44017698, 44017699, 44017721 and 44017722. (This information is
available in the query result.)
The slider type is MO so the slider range would be 1 4 because there are
4 MOs in the query. By clicking the right arrow the slider can slide to the
right 3 times. Changing the slider value changes the MO whose
measurements are retrieved from the query resultset. As the MO
measurements change, the points plotted on the chart change.
F I G U R E 19.17: MO S L I D E R W I T H R A N G E O F 4.
If the dropdown list type is MO, the list of items would be 44017698,
44017699, 44017721 and 44017722. Because the dropdown list
displays the item strings and there are 4 MOs in this query. By selecting a
different MO, the measurements retrieved from the resultset will differ
affecting the points plotted on the chart.
F I G U R E 19.18: MO D R O P D O W N L I S T W I T H MO N A M E S .
162
The sliders and dropdown lists allow the user to change the selection of a
coordinate value. By changing the selection the measurement data changes.
F I G U R E 19.19: 2D B A R W I T H MO D R O P D O W N L I S T = 44017698.
F I G U R E 19.20: 2D B A R W I T H MO D R O P D O W N L I S T = 44017721.
The two charts above, show the results of changing the MO Dropdown list
from 44017698 to 44017721. The values plotted on both charts are
visually different. The remaining 5 coordinates for ROP, ITEM, X, Y and Z
did not change in either chart.
The case where a selection is changed for a coordinate and the chart does
not change is when the slider or dropdown list coordinate type is the same
as the chart axis. An example is described for the pie.
163
F I G U R E 19.21: P I E C H A R T W I T H A N G L E , H E I G H T , C O L O R A N D MO D R O P D O W N L I S T.
On the pie chart the axis is the angle of the slice. If a slider is set to the
same coordinate as the angle then changing this slider will not have an
affect on the angle of the pie slices because all the values are already
visible. In the above figure, the axis is set to MO, there are 4 MO pie slices
shown and the MO dropdown list is set to 44017698.
If the dropdown list changes to a different MO the chart will not change
since the measurements for all the MOs are already visible for this ROP,
ITEM, X, Y and Z. If the ROP dropdown list time period changes though the
measurements for this time period will change the plot points on the chart.
F I G U R E 19.22: P I E C H A R T W I T H N O S L I D E R S O R D R O P D O W N L I S T S D E F I N E D .
164
In the situation where there are no sliders or dropdown lists, default

coordinate values are used to retrieve the measurements from the resultset.
The measurements for the map will not change. The values used to plot the
chart will change only if Cumulative or Normalization are turned on because
these 2 modes use the results of calculations done on the original retrieved
measurement. When setting Autoscaling it appears the chart values have
changed but this mode affects the minimum and maximum settings on the
colormap scale. Autoscaling uses the original measurements to plot the
chart.
P IE C HART
Each chart type will have at least one axis defined in the chart layout file.
The Pies axis is the angle. The angle is depicted as a pie slice. The Pie is a
chart type which can be configured to have multiple dimensions. The height,
color and displacement of the slice can be separate visible dimensions but
are optional. For a dimension to be turned on or visible it must be defined in
the chart layout file by using the Chart Builder. When a dimension is
defined each of the 6 coordinates, MO, ROP, ITEM, X, Y and Z, can be set.
The setting of all of the coordinates determines the value or non-value read
from the resultset.
The following section describes the 4 possible dimensions of the pie:
Angle.
Color.
Height or Depth.
Displacement.
PIE ANGLE
F I G U R E 19.23: P I E C H A R T : 4 MO S W I T H D ATA D E P I C T E D A S S L I C E S O R A N G L E S .
The Pie Chart has the axis set to MO because the labels are MO names.
There are 4 MOs in this query since there are 4 slices in the pie. Although
this example has color, the colors are using the default colormap since a
colormap scale is not visible. From the example the MO 44017699 has the
largest data value compared with the widths of all 4 slices. This depiction
gives you one dimension of the data measurements retrieved for this query.
165
PIE COLOR
F I G U R E 19.24: 4 MO S W I T H D ATA D E P I C T E D A S 4 A N G L E S A N D 4 C O L O R S .
The Pie Chart has the axis set to MO but the color has been turned on
because the colormap scale is visible on the right side. In the scenario
where there are multiple Preset Formulas in a query, the pie can be
configured to use one Preset formula for the angle width and a different
Preset formula to depict the color. This would allow one dimension for the
angle width and a different dimension for the color.
The color gives a visual view of a value. The colormap scale contains value
labels with different background colors. The pie slice color should
correspond with the value on the colormap scale. In the example the MO
44017699 has an approximate value of 2.878 since the color of the slice is
white and corresponds to the white label of 2.878.
The colormap scale depiction is similar to the colormap scale used on the
Map window.
PIE HEIGHT
F I G U R E 19.25: MO S W I T H D ATA D E P I C T E D A S 4 A N G L E S A N D 4 H E I G H T S .
The Pie chart has pie slices with varying heights or depths. The pie slices
also have varying widths. Again the axis is set to MO since the labels are
MO names and there are 4 MOs in the query since there are 4 pie slices.
The color associated with the slices has no meaning since there is not a
visible colormap scale. In the example, slice 44017699 has the greatest
value since the slice height is the tallest. The height of the slices will go
from the tallest at the top to the smallest going clockwise.
166
PIE DISPLACEMENT
F I G U R E 19.26: MO S W I T H D ATA D E P I C T E D A S 4 A N G L E S A N D 4 D I S P L A C E M E N T S .
The Pie chart is depicted with pie slices displaced from the center. The pie
slices also have varying widths. Again the axis is set to MO since the labels
are MO names. There are 4 MOs in the query since there are 4 pie slices.
The color associated with the slices are default colors and have no meaning
since there is not a visible colormap scale. The displacement of a pie slice
from the center should correspond to a value. The greater the value the
greater the displacement of the slice from the center.
P I E W I T H A NAN
F I G U R E 19.27: P I E C H A R T W I T H 2 VA L U E S A N D 2 N O N - VA L U E S .
A Pie chart which has a measurement retrieved from the query which is
NAN or Not A Number can not be plotted the same as a measurement
which is a number. To make it obvious one of the pie sectors is a NAN, the
pie sector will appear with a white background and red crossed lines. This is
similar to the appearance for a NAN on the map.
167
TWO DIMENSIONAL BAR CHART
F I G U R E 19.28: 2D B A R C H A R T W I T H C O L O R .
The 2D Bar charts axis is the height. The height is the point plotted on the
chart. The bar chart has one other dimension which is the color. For a
dimension to be turned on or visible it must be defined in the chart layout file
by using the Chart Builder. When a dimension is defined each of the 6
coordinates, MO, ROP, ITEM, X, Y and Z, can be set in the chart builder.
The settings of all the coordinates determines the measurements read from
the resultset.
The 2D Bar chart in the figure above, indicates the color dimension is turned
on because the colormap scale is visible. The x-axis is set to the ROP
coordinate since ROP labels are visible on the horizontal axis.
If the result of a measurement is NAN or Not A Number, this non-value
cannot be plotted so a bar will not be visible for that point. Normalization
and Cumulative mode do not apply on the 2D chart.
168
THREE DIMENSIONAL BAR AND LINE CHART
F I G U R E 19.29: 3D L I N E C H A R T .
The 3D Bar and 3D Line Chart have 2 axes defined as bars and sets. The
bars and sets can be set to any of the 6 coordinates, MO, ROP, ITEM
(formula), X, Y and Z but cannot be set to the same coordinate type. Each
axis is defined in the the chart layout file by using the Chart Builder. The
Chart Builder defines the 3D Bar and 3D Line Charts as XY charts. Custom
colors of the lines or bars are defined in the chart layout file otherwise they
are the default colors of the charting software.
For the XY chart (3D Bar or 3D Line), each coordinate value defined as the
axis for sets is displayed as a position on the horizontal axis (x-axis). Each
coordinate value defined as the axis for bars is displayed as a separate
line or bar.
F I G U R E 19.30: 3D B A R C H A R T .
169
In the two figures above, the top title indicates the axis settings as
Sets:MO and Bars:ROP. The query, Main_TRAF, contains 4 MOs and 3
ROPs. The horizontal axis displays the 4 MO strings, 44017698,
44017699, 44017721 and 44017722. The chart legend is reflective of
the bars and the coordinate value of each ROP, 11/12 12:00 11/12
13:00, 11/12 13:00 11/12 14:00 and 11/12 14:00 11/12 15:00. Each
ROP bar is denoted with a different color.
The different coordinate values for the sets and bars will retrieve the
measurements to be plotted for the height. The height for each combination
of MO with each ROP is shown in the 2 charts as:
MO-44017698
ROP:11/12 12:00 11/12 13:00 > red bar or line

ROP:11/12 13:00 11/12 14:00 > green bar or line
ROP:11/12 14:00 11/12 15:00 > blue bar or line
MO-44017699

and so on for each MO with each ROP.

Keep in mind the settings for the 4 other coordinate types of ITEM, X, Y and
Z are also in the retrieval. So the true settings used in the retrieval from the
resultset would be similar to:
MO-44017698, ITEM-Traf, X-0, Y-0, Z-0
MO-44017699, ITEM-Traf, X-0, Y-0, Z-0
ROP:11/12 12:00 11/12 13:00
red bar or line

and so on for each MO with each ROP.
T H R E E D I M E N S I O N A L B A R A N D L I N E C H A R T W I T H NAN
F I G U R E 19.31: 3D L I N E A N D 3D B A R W I T H NAN.
170
For NAN results on the 3D Line Chart the point is not plotted but will
appear to be 0. From this NAN point (at 0) the line segment will indicate a
different color from the rest of the line. The NAN result on a 3D Bar chart is
not plotted so a bar will not be visible for a NAN point.
Based on the query results for DropTA with X = 1, the appearance of the 2
charts for 3D Line and 3D Bar are shown in the figure above. For the line
chart on the left, notice the gray line. This gray line is indicating the first
point at 44017698 plotted is a NAN. The second point at 44017699 is a
NAN. The third point at 44017721 is 100.
On the line chart the third point at 44017721 should indicate a red and
green dot but the pixel points are too small to be visible. For Line charts
when the plotted points are not contiguous the line will not be visible and the
resolution for the plotted points may not be visible either. For noncontiguous plotted points the bar chart is better to display these
measurements.
In the figure above, the Bar chart on the right shows 4401698 at point 0
has a green bar barely visible and 44017721 at point 100 has a red and
green bar. The NAN values are not plotted.

171
GAUGE CHART
F I G U R E 19.33: G A U G E C H A R T .
Each chart is defined in the chart layout file, using the Chart Builder. The
gauge needle can be set to any of the 6 coordinates, MO, ROP, formula, X,
Y and Z.
The formula's colormap can be displayed as a progressive ring around the
circumference of the gauge, and the numeric value of the current needle
position may also be shown, with the appropriate decimal rounding as
defined using the Chart Builder. The gauge is affected by all sliders.
The face of the gauge may be divided using major division marks. These
can in turn, be subdivided with minor and micro division marks.
