1.1

New Features
LTE Troubleshooting Metric: LTE DL Throughput Analysis This metric finds all the points in the drive where the UE was served with DL Throughput lower than a certain value (DL App Throughput condition). It then further evaluates each of those points and categorizes them based on root cause of low throughput.

LTE Troubleshooting Metric: LTE Low CINR Analysis This metric finds all the points in the drive where CINR was lower than certain value (CINR Threshold). It then further evaluates each of those points and categorizes them based on root causes.

Release Notes

Support for per antenna measurements collected with R&S TSMW LTE scanner on DataPro. Support for JDSU Handheld 17.03 Support for packet trace data embedded within TEMS Investigation log files. Translation of 28 bit LTE Cell Identity in SIB 1 to eNodeB ID Sector ID

Feature to customize content of the tool tip. The user may now select any of the four options listed below to be displayed on the tooltip: 1. General 2. RF Metrics 3. Serving/Neighbor 4. Data Session

Release Notes

Implemented support for DL MOS Display on the Map, user can view DL MOS logged by Accuver xcal under map window: VoLTE --> Audio Quality --> Audio

Implemented VOLTE RTP metrics: Delay, Jitter, Packet Loss, and RTT are now available to be viewed in map, table, time series chart, xy chart, pdf chart, and User Query

Enhanced Elevation Profile in Wind Catcher Plus by providing the synchronization between Map window and the Elevation profile window. Implementation of Ascom Data Transfer Stalled event for Ascom Symphony files

A new Event called Ascom Data transfer Stalled has been introduced to capture conditions where the data transfer stalls and does not recover before the end of the task. 5

Release Notes

For time based FTP get, FTP put, HTTP get, HTTP Put and HTTP Browse tests: This logic will only apply to time based tests. This logic will not be evaluated if Bytes Transferred for HTTP Put Task > 50 MB. This logic will not be evaluated for tasks that end in user break or system break Logic: If the last byte transferred within a task was more than 2.5 seconds before the pre-defined task duration then Ascom Data Transfer Stalled event will be issue at the time of last successful transfer and Corresponding Task Failure event will be issued at the end of the task. For Example: Lets say that the predefined Task Duration for time based tests is 25 seconds. A task has last successful data transfer at 21.5 sec from the time of first SYN. Since 25 21.5 = 3.5 (greater than the threshold of 2.5 sec), this is a data transfer stall.
Implemented adjustable Weak PCI Threshold for LTE PCI Usefulness TT#22641

Implemented the feature to allow the user to choose the message color in the Message Window. Right-click on the message type for which the color needs to be changed.
