 Added support for TEMS Investigation 18.1.2, TEMS pocket 16.3.1, TEMS Automatic 11.4
and TEMS Symphony 7.7.2.

 Improved the robustness of the calculation of Physical_Throughput_UL to show

appropriate values in the presence of unreliable data.

 Added support for the “EX Flex” device to set attributes from RSSI Channel Scan
Response.

 Resolved an issue of some missing LTE scanner attributes.

 Added support for setting LTE_TTI_count_DL and LTE_TTI_count_UL.

 Added support for setting LTE_UE_BLER_DL for the Samsung Exynos chipset. However,
the logs do not contain data for setting LTE_UE_TB_Size_Average_DL,
LTE_UE_TB_Size_Max_DL, and LTE_UE_FrameUsage_DL.

device.

2.3 China Unicom Unified Format support

 Improved the setting of time stamps for scenarios where GPS frames within a log file have
different time zone values. The abnormal GPS frames interfered badly on the event
detection.

4 Platform improvements

4.1 Map

 Added a new feature for more easily exporting Maps into Reports. The feature is launched
from the context menu in the Map and automates the editing of the XML file that controls
how Maps and Legends are inserted into Reports.

 Corrected a problem that caused the sample counts of a chosen attribute to differ between
the Map legend and a Workbook Report.

 Resolved an issue that flipped floor plans on created .tab files.

4.2 Repository

 Resolved an issue of Analyzer crashing if template attributes (denoted at the end \d{1,5})
were included in the repository.

4.3 Other

 Added a new feature for applying an offset to a stream’s timestamps, for use with time-
based cross-stream synchronization. In addition to being able to specify raw offsets, there
are also two algorithms for calculating the offset between two streams: MO/MT and GPS
co-location.
