2 To Work on Work Space and Analyzing the Data

This is the most important part of the Navigator or you can say the actual process.

Before doing it makes sure you have selected the Appropriate Project.

Steps to Analyze a Data File

A. Decompress the Data file.B. Import the Sites on Work SpaceC. Import the Maps on Work Space

2009-06-07 22


2.1 De Compressing the Data FilesWhile data files are being imported to Pilot Navigator, the process of decompression,

decoding and statistics calculation is not being implemented. This process is classified

into two cases.

Provided that the data file is imported at the first time into Pilot Navigator, the above

process will not been done. The advantage is to reduce the burden of system. If more

operations are to be completed, such as to analyze test data of a port, go to and right

click this port to choose any choice, for instance Event, Message or Add Custom Event

etc. This action activates data file to decompress, decode and do statistics.
