ZoomWireless usage

ZoomWireless reads and consolidates the data of all Netstumbler summary files of a given directory (-id) and creates reports in the output directory (-od) for further processing or mapping. The report's are [tab] separated text files for easy integration or processing by spreadsheets or GIS applications.

Samples

Process all Netstumbler files in the directory zh2002/ and write reports into the directory report/:

D:\test\wifi>zoomwireless.pl -id zh2002 -od report

The output of the above command is depicted below. Note that for each Netsumbler file processed, the programm gives the total number of APs found, total numer of APs with position fix and total number of APs with activated WEP encryption (e.g. 26/23/5 APs/Fix/Wep).
