Principle
The DTI Scanner receives the signals from the CW transmitter, and obtains the
CW test conclusion through the post processing based on the geographic
information.
Sampling
The DTI Scanner conducts 50 samplings in the distance of 40 wave lengths. In
this way, the sampling data can reflect the wireless environment.
Calculation
Vmax = (40 x )/(50 x T)
Where:
z
Vmax: indicates the maximum vehicle speed.
: Indicates the CW wave length.
Take the 2100 MHz for example. The wave length is 0.1428 m. If the DTI sampling rate

II. Solution
The different kits used in the intallation packets lead to the incompatibility between the
new and old Probe versions. In such a situation, Huawei recommends that you
uninstall the old Probe version first, and then install the new one.
If the old Probe version cannot be uninstalled in the Control Panel, to remove the old
Probe version, perform the following steps:
1)
Click Start.
2)
Click Run and enter regedit to open the registry.
3)
Remove the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Huawei GENEX\Probe 1.2

(Or Probe 1.3) in the navigation tree.
