1 ATDI Consulting ATDI Software Import & Export Functions in ICS Telecom V9 March 2010

2 Introduction Import Vectors into ICS Telecom Import images into ICS Telecom Import Station data into ICS Telecom Export coverage from ICS Telecom Raster Vector Export Station Information

3 What programs that will be used? Either ICS Telecom V9 or HTZ Warfare V15 Global Mapper V11 with ATDI plug-in Google Earth Microsoft Excel

4 Generally 2 types of file: 16-bit raster file 8-bit raster file Vector files Station Files Files in ICS Telecom DTM, Best server 16bit, Town raster (*.geo, *.ic2) Map image, clutter, coverage results, most other coverage raster results, Polygon masks (*.img, *.sol, *.ic1, *.fld, *.ift *.blg, *.fdw, *.fdu, *.plg) Coma delimited file (*.csv, *.vec) Custom file unique to ICS Telecom and HTZ Warfare (not backward compatible) - *.ewf

5 Vectors and Rasters Two types of vector Polygon vector (area, county, required service area) Polyline vector (line, road, railway) Image Raster Data Raster

6 Vector Data in ICS Telecom & HTZ Warfare Get exact format: Map / vector layer/ new vector file Map / vector layer / edit vector file

7 Importing Vectors into ICS Telecom Google Earth Polygon Vector (*.kml) ESRI shape polygon vector (*.shp) MapInfo polygon vector (*.mif) + associated files ICS Telecom or HTZ Warfare Google Earth Polyline Vector (*.kml) Global Mapper or other convertor MapInfo polyline vector (*.mif)

8 Import Vectors Demonstration: Google Earth *.kml file (polygon and polyline) ESRI shape file *.shp (polygon) Mapinfo file *.mif (polyline) Example of using polygons and polyline in ICS Telecom & HTZ Warfare DEMONSTRATION Load Telecom Set up vector file Load data into Google Earth and save Import Vectors

9 Import Station Data Excel station information (*.csv) Google Earth information (*.kml) ICS Manager Limited ICS Telecom or HTZ Warfare Excel station information Other Station Databases ICSTEL2K2.mdb Database DEMONSTRATION:

10 Import Image into ICS Telecom Import image from Google Earth into ICS Telecom Import geo-referenced TIFF into ICS Telecom Geo-Tiff Image (*.TIFF & *.TFW) Google Earth Image (*.jpg) ICS Telecom or HTZ Warfare Global Mapper Geo-referenced *.ic1 file DEMONSTRATION

11 Export Coverage Select type of coverage to be exported (composite coverage, best server coverage, coverage, interference etc.) Google Earth information (*.kml) Raster format (*.tif & *.tfw, *.bil, *.asc) Vector Polygon format (area) ESRI Shape format (*.shp) Mapinfo format (*.mif) Vector Polyline format (contour) ESRI Shape format (*.shp) Mapinfo format (*.mif) ICS Telecom or HTZ Warfare

12 Export Station Information To Google Earth (*.kml) To ESRI Shape file (*.shp) To Excel / Coma delimited file To Access or ODBC connection

13 Thank you for attending This webinar covers most of the import & export features within ICS Telecom and HTZ Warfare Any Questions? The next slides identifies some useful websites that have tools that can help manipulate data sets
