Terrain Profile
• A new viewing tool called Terrain Profile has been added, which synchronizes to
map selections, and uses the Microsoft BING Maps for Enterprise terrain data to
show a terrain cross-section along a terrain vector. It is available from the View
ribbon menu:

• When selected, a new viewing component window is opened with a grid depicting
the terrain height on the Y-axis and distance along a map vector on the X-axis.

• A map toolbar button enables an additional toolbar sub-menu, allowing

options for the viewing mode (also available in the right-click context menu), and
to instruct the Terrain Profile to draw the selected vector:

• There are two options for drawing a terrain vector:

o Automatic Terrain, where the terrain vector uses the line of sight to the
resolved primary serving cell, where the 0m position on the Terrain Profile
grid represents the Primary Serving Cell.
o A-B Point Terrain, where the use may click and drag a terrain vector on
the map, with ends labelled as “A” and “B”.

• Once the vector is drawn on the map, the user simply needs to click the Draw

Terrain button on the submenu, and the Terrain Profile displays the terrain
with an adaptive zoom granularity, displaying the Lat/Lon/Altitude as the user
moves the mouse over the grid in the Terrain Profile:

Automatic Terrain option:

A-B Point Terrain option:

• Clicking any point on the Terrain Profile grid will highlight a corresponding point
along the A-B vector on the map, showing where that point is. The user only

 • The sync point is also calculated during the Automatic Terrain option, which draws
the vector from the Primary Serving Cell to the selected data point bin on the
map:

• The X-axis maximum value represents the entire terrain vector drawn on the map,
and the scale of each x-axis grid is adaptive depending on the length of the terrain
vector, using a terrain sample size of 200, 400 or 800 depending on whether the
terrain vector is <= 2Km, <= 5Km, >5Km.

• To zoom into the current view of the terrain on the Terrain Profile viewer, click
and drag a bounding box, and simply right-click to return to the previous zoom
depth (continual right-clicks will eventually lead back to the entire view).

• The map zoom depth can be controlled independently to the Terrain Profile zoom
depth to allow alternative terrain vectors to be drawn.

• If multiple Terrain Profile windows are opened, the map will synchronize to the
most recently selected Terrain Profile window.

• The Terrain Profile feature is available as a standard Analyzer platform feature,

limited to only those customers with an active Support & Maintenance contract.
If Support entitlement lapses, the feature will no longer be available (in the same
way as the Microsoft BING background layer in the map).

Known Issues and Obsolescence

End of Life announcements

• Advance notice is given that from the end of September 2020, Actix Analyzer shall
no longer support the Freewill AzenQos AZL export format. Support shall be
limited to the native AZM format (raw and pre-processed).

• Advance notice is given that from the end of December 2020, Actix Analyzer shall
no longer support the Keysight Nemo .dt1 and .fs1 formats. Support for Nemo
tool data formats shall be limited to the .NMF (2G-4G) and .NMFS (5G) formats.

Product Support for previous versions

• With the recent addition of both 5G NSA NR and 5G SA NR, and in response to
many collection tools having released new versions to support NR technologies,
the complexity of maintaining support for all previous versions of Analyzer has
increased. Therefore, the versions of Actix Analyzer supported by the Analyzer
Product Support team shall be limited to the current version and previous 12
monthly releases, in a sliding window.
