1 Get Ready
The E6474A Software
The Agilent E6474A Wireless Network Optimization software
allows you to collect engineering parameters, perform coverage
and quality of service tests, and do fault detection on wireless
networks. Collected data is displayed in real time, and can be
played back during or after a test. The software has a
user-friendly interface that allows you to create multiple test
plans with different logging options and data views.
You can export data files in .csv, .mif, .qlc, and .txt formats. In
Live Mode, you can display measurements without creating a
data file.
All measurements can be geodetically referenced, using either
the optional in-building or in-vehicle navigation information. Up
to three parameter measurements can be plotted on-screen in
the Route Map view, along with event markers and user notes.
Using in-building navigation, you track your position on a
bitmap of a floor plan that is displayed on-screen, or by
recording the number of paces and your direction changes from
a starting point. Using in-vehicle navigation, your position is
automatically tracked within the Route map view.
See Appendix D, “System Information”, on page 179, for a list of
supported devices. The E6474A software is compatible with the
following configurations:
• E6473B High Speed Direct Connect Hub and accessories
• Devices connected to a computer serial port
• E74xx indoor and drive-test solutions
