Improvements in performances in terms of loading time have been made in case of large
Swissqual logfiles (.mf > 300MB).
Added support for the Capacity task in the list of possible Task Application types. All the
relevant Task-related attributes are also set accordingly.
A problem has been resolved that prevented Analyzer from setting the attribute
ServRxLevSub and other GSM attributes from GSM layer 3 measurement report
messages.
In MIMO, an issue has been fixed that prevented Analyzer from setting the attributes
listed below for each antenna port:
LTE_UE_RSRP_Ant
LTE_UE_RSRQ_Ant

New event for out of sequence DT RTP packets, new attribute for the delay.

An issue has been fixed that caused Analyzer to map the value of the RSRP in the
Measurement Report message to the wrong range of values.

Reconfiguration message.

Actix Analyzer Update

June 2015

In UMTS and GSM, added a new thresholds (Uu_CallDropped_Use_of_CauseLocationCC

3 Application layer improvements

3.1 Stateform

For LTE, this release adds a new Stateform (LTE Scanner-Handset comparison) for the
comparison of radio parameters (RSRP, RSRQ) between Scanner and Handset data. The
stateform requires scanner and handset streams to be initially super-streamed in order
to visualize scanner and handset data simultaneously in the stateform.

4 Platform improvements
4.1 Analysis Manager

Fixed an issue when a query initially created in the Analyzer environment is then edited

A crash has been fixed when the Chart would try to display a tooltip for a data point but
the Format Group did not contain the relevant text.

4.3 Event Diagram Viewer

Fixed an issue where the Event Diagram Viewer would not display all transitions.

4.4 Network Explorer

Fixed an issue where the Network Explorer would sometimes not display the elements
correctly in the right-hand side of the window.

4.5 Reporting

Fixed an issue when using 64-bit Analyzer with 32-bit Excel, where user-defined reports
would sometimes have [1] in their file name, which could cause problems with
embedded macros.

4.6 Statistics Explorer

Added the ability to sort columns in the Statistics Explorer.

4.7 Table

Added tooltips for column headers in the Table that are not wide enough to display the
name of the column.

4.8 Other

Fixed an issue where it was not possible to dock dockable windows within one another.

Actix Analyzer Update

June 2015

Fixed an issue that caused Analyzer to crash when, after importing Data Service
Analysis Side Panel.aqf query using Analysis Manager, a user attempts to plot the
query results in Statistic Explorer.

5 Documentation
5.1 Attribute Help

Minor changes in the Attribute Help for the attributes TCP_ThroughputUL and
TCP_ThroughputDL.

Minor changes in the Attribute Help for the attributes LTE_UE_CA_Configured.

6 Known Issues / Obsolescence

TEMS Investigation logfiles with the extension .log (from version 13.x and older) can no
longer be loaded in Analyzer.
If you revert to a previous release of Analyzer after this release is installed, TEMS API 11
causes a conflict between temporary configuration files that will stop TEMS files from
loading. To allow TEMS files to load, delete all files in the following directory:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Any\8.0.0.0
assuming the Windows OS is installed on the C drive, and the current user is username.
