Here are the steps. You will need QGIS to export into ArcGis ASCII format. You can download it at https://download.qgis.org/

In QGIS open the raster.

Then go to Raster->Conversion->Translate

Then choose Project CRS:… Be sure the it is projected to WGS84 with the correct UTM zone if applicable.

Then Click save to file

 

Then Give the file a name and choose file type ASC files

And then hit run…

Then close out QGIS and open EDXCV. It can be typically be found in C:\Program Files\EDX\SignalPro\bin

Run that and you will get the following dialog choose file_>New

Then Conversion->Land Use (Clutter) file conversion

Choose the asc file you created in QGIS as the source and a new clutter.gcv file as the destination. The conversion type is ArcView ASCII Grid to EDX .GCV format

Press the Set Geographic parameters button and set the dialog according to the source data you are trying to convert. We want to be sure and set the reference longitude appropriately. When the data uses the UTM coordinate system the Reference Longitude is determined by the “Zone Number”. The longitude is calculated from this number as follows: Ref_longitude = Zone_number * 6.0 - 180.0 - 3.0

Also, what format is the source data in? Is the file using x,y meters and Decimal Degrees? Or lat/long and seconds. This can be determined by viewing the .DAT file associated with the data

Once all of your geo-parameters have been configured, then hit Ok then Start Conversion and you should have the converted file. If the conversion is successful, you should see a sample image display in EDXCV. If the image doesn't load right away, it should load eventually, the tool just takes time to build the sample image.

This process for converting Land Use data also works for Terrain data as well. You will follow the same steps but for the Terrain Conversion.

For additional questions regarding converting data, please contact the EDX Wireless, Inc Support Team.
