Preparing to Collect Data
Insert the Software License Key
The E6474A installation packet contains a hardware device
programmed with the options you have purchased. Before
starting the E6474A software, plug the device into your
computer’s parallel port. The license key must be inserted for
data collection and monitoring. You can transfer the license
information to the USB-style key (also included) using the
License Manager software. See “License Manager" on page 19.
Create a Data Folder
Create a data folder for storing the data files you collect. Data
files have an “.sd5” extension. When you begin a test, a dialog
box prompts you for a file name and a location in which to store
the data file, if you have disabled the automatic file naming
option.
Copy the Map Files
For in-building navigation, a bitmap image of the floor plan is
typically used. If you plan to use in-building navigation, or to
display your route onscreen with data from an in-vehicle
navigator, it is recommended that you create a Maps folder
within the application’s directory structure. Then copy the
maps you plan to use into it. The supported map file formats
include: .bmp (bitmap), .map (ETAK street map), and .mif
(MapInfo).
Copy or Create a Cell Site Database
This step is optional. A cell site database enables the software
to display cell site names in certain views. If you do not have a
cell site database (a file with a “.cd2” extension), you can create
one using the Cellsite Editor software. Cellsite Editor is
included on the installation CD. Refer to the Cellsite Editor
software’s online help for procedures.
