Using the advanced options

You can open the Advanced options dialog box both before you first load the case, and after the case is loaded.

• Before you load the case, on the Input and settings view click .

  

• After you load the case:

  1. Hover over on the top-right of the map.

  2. Click then select Advanced options from the menu.

     

     The Advanced options dialog box opens.

Select the number of rows you want displayed on the Data view, such as the CDR data tab and Sector data tab, which is located at the bottom of the ESPA analysis center screen. The default value is 20 rows and the maximum value is 500 rows. This setting does affect the performance of the ESPA analysis center due to browser limitations. If you are using Google Chrome then the ESPA analysis center performance is slower when you increase the number of rows. For optimal performance it is recommended you set a value between 20 and 50 rows.

Select if you want to include data calls, including some Timing Advance and RTT records, in your analysis. By default this is selected as T-Mobile timing advance records often classify some of their calls as data and if this was not selected then the CDR data tab would not include these useful calls. However, typically an analysis for most CDR file types is done using only voice and SMS calls and not data calls. This is because data calls may not provide accurate location information. If you select to include data calls they are displayed on the CDR data tab using an orange row.

NOTE: If you change this setting the data is refreshed automatically.

Select if you do not want the surrounding towers displayed by default. This helps improve the performance when you initially load a case. Surrounding towers can also be manually displayed in the case after it has loaded.

Click Change to edit which call information you want displayed in the tower reference, geo-location, RTT and Handover pop-ups . The Call/Geo-Loc information columns dialog box opens.

Click Font to edit how the call information is displayed in the tower reference and TA arc pop-ups. The Call information font dialog box opens.

The Target summary view can display a lot of data, therefore it is important to load only the data that you are interested in which helps improve the performance of the ESPA analysis center. If you are not using the Target summary view then you should ensure that none of the options are selected.

RTT, Call location group and HO location group are the outputs generated from Using the advanced options and Using the advanced options.

Person device at location and Common-location-time are the outputs from the Call analyses tab's Person's device at location and Common location-time.

The remaining record options are those from the uploaded case files.

These settings determine which call analyses are automatically run each time you click Refresh on the Input and settings view. These are the analyses that are displayed on the Call analyses tab. To optimize the performance of the ESPA analysis center it is recommended that you only select the analyses that you are planning to use.
