1. Introduction
Mapnfo Professional is a comprehensive desktop mapping tool that enables us to perform complex
geographic analysis. With Mapnfo Professional, we can present sites, & MW links as points & lines
respectively .Also we can perform nominal site selection & MW planning by drawing the points & lines in
cosmetic layer.
n a word Mapnfo is an essential tool for MW transmission planning.
2. Create MapInfo MWNetwork File
A MW Network consists of sites & MW links which can be represent by Points & Lines in Mapnfo
respectively.
The whole process to create MW Network in Mapnfo divides into two steps:
1. Creation of Site list & Link_list Mapnfo (*.tab) files of MW Network.
2. Creation of the MW Network Mapnfo (*.wor) file from the desired (*.tab) files.
And there are two way to create the Site_list & Link_list Mapnfo (*.tab) files of MW Network.
. Direct from Pathloss (*.gr4) file.
. From MW sites list & link list database (*.xls/.csv) file.
2.1Creutlng the MW Network Slte_llxt & Ilnk_llxt MupInfo (*.tub) fllex from
Puthloxx
t is the easiest way to create the Site_list & Link_list Mapnfo (*.tab).
The whole process divides in two steps:
1) Preparation of desired (*.mif) file.
2) Creation of the desired (*.tab) from the (*.mif) file.
2.1.1 Preparation of desired {*.mif] file.
1. Run Pathloss.04 Program
2. Open the MW Topology Pathloss (*.gr4) file in Pathloss .04
3. From Module menu go to network module in Pathloss 04.
4. From menu bar go to Files>Mapnfo export>sites (mif) & save the sites (*.mif) file in desired location.
5. Repeat the above process for links (mif) & save the links (*.mif) file in desired location.
(Bellow figure describes the above process graphically)

2.1.2 Creation of the desired {*.tab] fromthe {*.mif] file
Run Mapnfo Professional program.
From menu bar go to [table]->[import]. & then select the desired sites (*.mif) file>save
sites (*.tab) in desired location.
Again From menu bar go to table>import. & then select the desired links (*.mif) file>save
links(*.tab) in desired location. (Bellow figure describes the above process graphically)

2.2Creutlng the MW Network xlte_llxt & Ilnk_llxt (*.tub) fllex fromxltex &
llnkx Jutubuxe (*.xlx,.cxv) fllex
First of all we have to make the MW sites list & link list database (*.xls/.csv) file.
We can make these databases files direct from Pathloss Reports or Manually.
Here we will make these two files from Pathloss.
2.2.1 Creation of MWsites_list &link_list database {*.xlsJ*.csv] file fromPathloss
Run Pathloss.04 Program
Open the MW Topology Pathloss (*.gr4) file in Pathloss .04
From Module menu Go to network module in Pathloss 04
From menu bar go to site data>site list>reports>CSV Site list>select the desired field for
export>ok>file>save & repeat this process for CSV link list. (Bellow figure describes the above
process graphically)

2.1.2 Creation of the desired {*.tab] fromthe {*.csv] file
Run Mapnfo professional program.
From menu bar go to File>Open or press (ctrl+O)>select file type(*.csv)>select site_list (*.csv)
file>open>check "Use First line for Column Titles>ok.

From menu bar go to File>Open or press (ctrl+O)>select file type(*.csv)>select link list (*.csv)

Now from menu bar go to table>maintenance>table structure>check table is mapable>ok

Now run map basic window from menu bar go to options>show MapBasic window> & then type
the following command & press enter:
"Update<space>filename (i.e. links_list)<space>set<space>obi=createline(Site_1_Longitude,
Site_1_Latitude, Site_2_Longitude, Site_2_Latitude)"
From menu bar go to File>save table or press (ctrl+s) to save the link_list (*.tab) file.

3. Creation of MWNetwork Topology {*.wor] file in MapInfo
Here we will make the index for searching the sites & create the topology workspace file in map info.
Run Mapnfo Professional program.
Files>open>select the desired sites (*.tab) & links (*.tab) by pressing ctrl key & then >open.
From menu bar go to table>maintenances>table structure>select the table of sites>ok>check the
index for the desired filed (e.g. site_id or site_name).
Select layer control from main tool bar or right click in the map window & then checked the label
to view the Sites Name or Site D.From layer control we can also change display & color for the
site_list points & the link_list line.

Now go to Files>save workspace or press (ctrl+k) to save the MW Transmission network topology
as (*.wor) file.
4. Conclusion
MW Network Topology in Mapnfo is really important for MW Transmission Planning & Traffic Mapping.
Through this MW Planning engineer can do the site selection & nominal MW Planning without Pathloss &
check the traffic route easily. n Mapnfo we can check all the database information related the Sites &
MW links.
Also we can do advance mapping of MW network by creation legend & thematic map according to our
requirements in Mapnfo.
