Graphic Drawing Editor

A full-featured Graphic Drawing Editor (GDE) is included. This tool is a comprehensive two-dimensional vector-based drawing application that allows the user to create antenna layout drawings to scale in record time. One may draw and lay out antenna systems for communications sites that include towers, rooftops or any other type of antenna mounting structures.

The GDE has an Auto-Populate feature that utilizes the current communication system antenna data and automatically draws each antenna on the drawing to its scaled location. The Auto-Populate feature will also create a label for each antenna and provide a link-line to the associated antenna. The GDE allows one to draw irregular shaped rooftops, penthouses, antenna mounting platforms as well as other objects, shapes and text. The user has full control of the drawing object attributes and can change any of them (i.e. color, style, width, transparency, etc.). Merging other images into the drawing or setting an image, as a background to the drawing is just a couple of the many helpful features included with ComSiteMPE.

Once the antenna layout drawing has been created, it will be utilized for displaying the results of the MPE analysis. The results may be viewed on-screen as well as by create reports that contain the MPE analysis overlaid on the antenna drawing image.

The user may define the analysis area with a selection rectangle that is re-sizeable on demand. The analysis definition area is stored for future evaluations.

When performing a 360-degree analysis of an area, the results are displayed in the GDE. The analysis depicts the MPE exposure levels as differing colored zones overlaid on the drawing. Each color represents a particular exposure level and the colors are user selectable. The drawing is scalable with a maximum size of 2,000 by 2,000 feet with an accuracy of plus or minus 0.1 foot.
