Hi ALL,

I was previously using Vistumbler 9.3. I have now installed Vistumbler 10.3. The new version has GID field that I did not note in the previous one. While saving a trace as TXT, it is the last field of the trace "GID,SIGNAL". For example, I found "
3,41-7,45-10,48-11,48-19,45" mentioned in this field for a particular AP. I am guessing 41,45,48,48,45 are RSS (per second). What does GID mean here?

Your help shall be highly appreciated.

Bests,
Faraz

GID is Gps ID. If you look at the top of the VS1 file there are a bunch of lines like this

1|N 4338.2095|W 7020.0596|12|12.2|90.87926523|-31.9|30.61|19.01|101.4|2010-07-25|17:04:22.633

the first number in this string is the GID the signal would match with.

We have some information on the VS1 format here ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/v ... VS1_Format ) if you are interested

TXT has been depreciated for CSV. You can still import old text files as a vistumbler file, but there if no way to export as TXT anymore. If you want something like the old text file export to a summary csv. If you want all the history that's in the VS1, but not have the file separated by gps data and ap data like VS1 use detailed CSV

Hi, many thanks for your response. Didn't know that before, but I was actually looking for something in the CSV format! Thanks a lot.
