How to export simulation data containing map information using WinProp?

I have set up two transmitters in a map using WinProp and obtained simulated spectrum power plots for each, as shown in the figure.image

However, what I want to obtain is a simulation plot when both transmitters are operating simultaneously, meaning the two simulation plots should be overlaid. How can I achieve this?

Additionally, I also hope to export simulation results containing map information in a specific data format rather than images. For example, the simulated data from the top-left corner of the map should be placed in the top-left corner of a table, and so on, with no data filled in areas where buildings are located. I've looked into the XML format of exported data, but I'm not sure which part of the map the numerical values correspond to in the simulation results.image

If you can help me solve these problems, I would be extremely grateful. I apologize for taking up your time, and I look forward to your response.

    Hello,

    thanks for your reply.
    Sorry, the option "Superposed Received Power" is under the Propagation tab.

    You can also superpose the results manually, but as the results are in log scale (dB values) you then need to use the option Edit > Add Data > Value (File, delog., incoherent).

    By using Edit > Add Data > Value (File, linear) just the numbers will be added (ignoring the dB scale) and as the Rx power values in dBm are typically negative the superposition of multiple results using this option would become lower, as you observed.

    Best regards,

    Hello,

    in ProMan under the Simulation tab there is an option "Superposed Received Power" which will produce the superposed result including both transmitters. Please try this one.

    For the result export into ASCII you can either activate the additional output of ASCII files under the Propagation tab or export in ProMan the loaded result via File > Export > Export (Data, Area) > Export ASC Grid or Export (ASCII, All) where you can also configure if the not computed pixels shall be exported or not.

    Best regards,

    Thank you for your reply.
    But I didn't see the option 'Superposed Received Power,' as shown in the picture.image

    But I encountered a strange phenomenon when using 'edit-ADD data-value(file,linear).' I attempted to superpose three simulation results using this operation, but instead of increasing, the superposed result became smaller. This is abnormal.
    This is a simulation result for an antenna.

    This is the combined result obtained by adding data from three antennas. It is evident that the simulation values have decreased.

    Thank you for your reply.

    But I still didn't see the option 'Superposed Received Power,' as shown in the picture.

    Hi Wuyoubiao

    This option is available starting v.2023.1. Please update the version.

    In any case, you can also use the option suggested by Reiner:
    "You can also superpose the results manually, but as the results are in log scale (dB values) you then need to use the option Edit > Add Data > Value (File, delog., incoherent)."
