A METHOD FOR EXPANDING A SUPPORTING SYSTEM A METHOD FOR EXPANDING A SUPPORTING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention comprises a method whereby an operations support system (20) is connected to an electronic communications system (2) to process or convert the raw data (22) received from an event detected in said communications system into measured data; to register said gathered measured data; to be able to read said registered data; thereby enabling said operations support system to expand its ability to obtain separate structures from the same raw data. An event-extracting system comprises several units or measuring instruments (24a-24c) that process or convert the same raw data into unique elements of measured data. At least one of said units or measuring instruments can be activated via the operations support system. Said activated unit or measuring instrument (24a-24c) process or convert received raw data to a unique element of measured data, according to an algorithm that applies for that unit, whereafter the unit registers the converted measured data in a memory or a database (25a-25c) for measured data. Moreover, via the operations support system (20), said memory can be identified, and the information it contains about the measured data can be read.
