- Transmission Mode has been added: TM1, TM2, TM3, TM4, TM6.
·
Start Loop
Start Loop has been extended for LTE channel and band handovers.
The new Loop Parameters implying a blind handover at every loop iteration are:
- LTE DL EARFCN: indicating new DL EARFCN
- LTE DL/UL EARFCN Table: each entry in the table indicates new DL/UL EARFCN

LTE EVM Equalizer Spectrum Flatness
This test step has been modified to be
aligned with 36.521-1 and display Range 1 and/or Range 2 Spectrum Flatness Max Peak to Peak (dB) depending on the uplink signal
frequency:
·
LTE Tiered RX Reference Sensitivity Search
RSRP measurements have been added so WTM
user might wish to turn on/off the RSRP (reference signal received power) UE
measurements while searching for the reference sensitivity of the device under
test.
·
LTE Tiered RX Reference Sensitivity Search
AT UE Power
RSRP measurements have been added so WTM user
might wish to turn on/off the RSRP (reference signal received power) UE
measurements while searching for the reference sensitivity of the device under
test at a specified UE power.
·
LTE Channel Handover
This test step has been added to perform blind frequency/channel handovers on the same LTE operating band
·
LTE Band Handover
This test step has been added to perform a band handover (blind frequency handover) to a specified new frequency of potentially a different LTE operating band.
·
Send Receive GPIB With Wait Timer
This test step is similar to old Send Receive GPIB test step. The difference is that this new test step has a new table GPIB Commands with Specs and Wait Timer in which one column in the data base has been added Wait Time (Seconds). After executing the SCPI command WTM will wait the configured amount of time before proceeding to the next row in the table for the following SCPI command to send.
Two new LTE
test plans have been created and database have been updated to allow the user
to reuse this LTE test plan for any channel bandwidths and any LTE operating
bands
- LTE FDD Test Plan: standard default LTE FDD testing
- LTE TDD Test Plan: standard
default LTE TDD testing
- Database: has been modified for new parameters and new default test
points
Same functionality as D.01.00 Release July 2011 with the following bug fix:
DLL details: New WTM Framework 1.9.3
- Fixed Send Receive GPIB with E6621A.
- Fixed E6621A setting of user defined security K value

|
If the non-NET versions of Wireless Test Manager are
uninstalled after the NET version of Wireless Test Manager is installed, the
non-NET Wireless Test Manager selection will remain in the Start Programs Menu.
You can safely delete this menu item if you desire.
To completely remove both non-NET versions of
Wireless Test Manager and the NET version of Wireless Test Manager, first
uninstall all versions of the NET version of Wireless Test Manager (See
ReadMe.txt section 1.3) prior to uninstalling the non-NET Wireless Test
Manager.
Situation: You try to run Wireless
Test Manager(WTM), but WTM prompts you with the
message "No security or incorrect security key found." even though
the security key is inserted into a USB port; or when you insert the security
key into a USB port, the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard appears and wants
you to install a device driver for the security key.
Solution: This problem is usually caused when the key was in the USB port during the WTM installation. This interferes with the installation of the Sentinel Security Key files. Perform the following steps to correct the problem:
a. Cancel or exit from any prompts.
b. Remove the USB security key from the USB port.
c. Close all applications that are running.
d. Check to see that the SentinelKeyW.DLL is installed in the Windows System32 directory. If the file is not present in the System32 directory, copy the SentinelKeyW.dll from the Sentinel directory on the Wireless Test Manager installation CD to the Windows System32 directory on your PC.
e. Run the SentinelSystemDriverInstaller.exe program in the Sentinel directory on the WTM installation CD to reinstall the drivers.
f. Insert the Security Key into a USB port on your PC.
g. The Security Key should be recognized next time you run Wireless Test Manager.
Back-up files were created for the language files located in the directories below the ".../WirelessTestManager/Common/" level in case they are written over when installing an older version of the Wireless Test Manager. The release date of this version of the WTM is appended to the name of these language files.
Situation1:
If any E656xA application (VB6 WTM) is installed after an E656xC/N588xA
application (.NET WTM) has been installed, the Agilent WTM framework language
files (.lng) will be overwritten by the older language files. This will result
in ??? <reference number> showing up on some
WTM user interface objects. This is due to old language files not containing
the new messages added in .NET WTM.
Situation2: If E6560C 1.0 application is installed after any newer E656xC/N588xA
application has been installed.
Solution: Restore the backup language file for the appropriate UI (Exec & wizard) that was created when the E656xA or E6560C 1.0 application was installed.
Example: If the E6562A application is installed after the E6562C then a file called 'English10152004.lng' (where 10152004 is the file date of the E6562C installed language file) will need to be renamed or copied to replace the 'English.lng' in the default installation directory 'C:\Program Files\Agilent\WirelessTestManager\Common\ExecLocalization'. The 'English10152004.lng' file in the default installation directory 'C:\Program Files\Agilent\WirelessTestManager\Common\WizardLocalization' will also need to be renamed or copied to replace the 'English.lng' in that directory.
The localization utility tool (LocalizeUtility.exe) may not work if
Visual Studio .Net is not installed.
