Maps Indoor
Nemo Outdoor has an indoor measurement option in which case Nemo Outdoor can be installed on a Tablet PC. Alternatively normal laptop can be used as well. As GPS receivers cannot be used indoors, the indoor option offers a marker function to store location data. Just click markers along the measurement route and the route will be drawn on the map. You can use floorplans as maps.
Maps Indoor
Open a floorplan by selecting Data | Indoor | New and click the Open Map button. To view a route on the floorplan you must have a marker file (.mrk) attached to the measurement file (.nmf). To move the markers on the map, select a marker in the Markers | Index field, click on Move and select a new destination for the marker.
Maps Indoor
You can import your own bitmap files to Nemo Outdoor and use them as maps. Click the Import Map button in the map toolbar or select Import Map from the popup menu. The Map Import Parameters dialog box is opened. In order for the map and route drawing to function correctly, you must define some map settings. Either define the dimensions in meters of the area visible on the map or define the GPS coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the map area.
Manual Mode
Under Manual Mode, you can control the functions of the UE by way of the Device command under the Device info panel. Under the Device Commands button, you will find the menu. The commands will be activated depending on the type of test mobile you are using. If your test mobile supports only voice calls, then only the first item is activated.
Automated mode
Under the Script item you will find premade scripts and user-defined scripts. Scripts can be used to perform measurements automatically instead of performing manual calls or data transfers. Double-click any of the scripts under the Scripts item to open the Script Editor dialog box. In order to select a script file to be used in a measurement, click the Device Settings button in the Device View window and select Script Properties.

Ping request
Example: RTT time is 100ms and delay from reply to request is set to 1 s. New request is sent every 1.1s (100ms + 1000ms). If delay between request is selected new request is sent every 1000ms Example: RTT time is 100ms and delay from reply to request is set to 50ms. New request is sent every 150ms (100ms + 50ms). If delay between request is selected new request is sent every 100ms because protocol always wait reply before sending new request
SMS Measurements
SMS testing allows you to monitor how text messages are transferred in the network. Open the SMS Testing dialog box by clicking the SMS Testing Properties button in the Measurement Properties, Configuration tab (Measurement | <device name> | Measurement Properties | Configuration tab). You can view from a grid window if the test message was delivered successfully. Open an event grid (Data | Events Grid | New). Open the Grid Properties dialog box (right-click on the grid and select Properties from the popup menu). Clear all selections and expand the GSM item. Clear all selections and select the Short Message Service item and click OK. The grid will now display only the selected SMS testing-related events.
MMS Measurements
MMS testing allows you to monitor how multimedia messages are transferred in the network. In addition to successfully sent/received MMS messages, also sending/receiving attempts and sending/receiving failures are recorded enabling statistical success rate calculations. Nemo Outdoor measures total MMS sending delay. Also separate delays from Attach, PDP context activation, logging to MMSC, and message sending/receiving are recorded. In order to be able to make MMS measurements, you will need to define some MMS-related settings in the PDP Context Settings dialog box.
Ending Measurements
The measurement is being recorded when a REC text appears in the upper right corner of the main window. Follow these instructions to stop the measurement.
If you are using a script to perform the measurement, you can either wait until the script file has been executed or interrupt the script either by selecting Measurement | Stop Script or by clicking the Stop button on the toolbar. If you are performing measurements manually, the measurement process is terminated either by selecting Measurement | Stop or by clicking the Stop button on the toolbar. In both alternatives, the Stop button on the toolbar will be inactivated and the Start Recording button activated. All the ongoing calls will be stopped and scanning will be terminated (Frequency Scan mode). Data transfers will be stopped, PDP context will be deactivated, and GPRS detach will be performed. Nemo Outdoor will display a report window with some call statistics. At this point, you can choose if you would like to save this file or delete it. You can also start a playback of this file. If you wish to exit Nemo Outdoor, select File | Exit or click the cross in the upper right corner of the Nemo Outdoor main window.
