Configuring and creating a WAMS project (Option 740)

Wireless Application Measurement Software (WAMS) is a software application that measures user experience of wireless data networks. It can be used in a drive test environment, as well as in a stationary environment. The following are some of the key features in WAMS:

•Shell application that allows easy creation, scheduling, and running of tests.

•Allows simultaneous measuring of multiple wireless networks.

•Allows integration of GPS for accurate time and location stamps.

•Easily exports measured data to an Excel like CSV files.

•Integrates with QoS DMS and Report engine, which allows near real time performance monitoring of multiple probes.

•Allows easy creation and integration of custom made and third party tests.

To start the WAMS interface

1Open the E6474A application.

2Select Tools > WAMS Sequencer.

The WAMS sequencer view opens with a default sequence tree.

To configure a WAMS sequence

A WAMS sequence is made up from test nodes and tests designed to measure typical user experience of wireless data networks.

Full details on configuration and the tests are provided in the

Wireless Application Measurement Software (WAMS) User’s

Guide (E6474-90058).
