At this point, you should have an excel file with three different sheets. Each
sheet corresponds to a different view of the same data:
•The first one will show you the generic signal information and the different
coverage measures for each point acquired
•In the second one, you will find the same data but presented in a table
format, more user friendly for working with graphs based on each
measured parameter.
•The third one provides data in a format adapted for geolocation.
Information is shown in terms of parameters required for presenting the
measured data as a map layer (latitude, longitude, id, description and an
icon identifier number) as required for GIS and Google Earth technologies.
This third sheet is formatted mainly to be compatible with main Google
Earth format converters available in Internet

Now save the data as a true excel file. No specific name or path is required,
but you must remember the path.

Displaying Measurement in Google Earth
Measurement taken with the Signal Coverage tool can be exported and
displayed on Google Earth 3D maps.

Install
Google Earth Pro

Once measurements have been made and coverage data obtained, copy the
generated data file (COVERAGE.XML) to a USB stick or to a PC (for more
details refer to
3
Access the KML Generator application by PROMAX
tools/kml-generator/).

Click on the KML Generator screen and then a file explorer opens. Select
your data file (COVERAGE.XML) exported from the meter.

If the file is correct it opens a window with a series of options that allow you
to customize the visualization:
Assign colors to the test points using a quality-based color scale: It
assigns a color (selected by the user) for the worst quality value and
another color for the best quality value. For the intermediate values
performs a gradation between both colors.
Use a PASS/FAIL threshold: It uses only two colors (selected by the
user). A color for measures that are below a certain threshold value and
another color for measures that are above that value.
