shoc-Network-Analysis

Create node network graphics directly from the go2monitor ResultViewer.
A picture is worth a thousand words, it shows you much faster than a table what is going on.
Adaptable for other systems. The plugin is written in PYTHON and can be customized by us to meet your specific needs.

Key Facts

  • go2monitor add-on
  • Connections between elements, making it easy to understand how things relate
  • A node graph can represent many-to-many relationships far better than lists or tables
  • The most connected or important nodes are detected much faster
  • Connections, anomalies, and unexpected links become visible
  • Even non‑technical users can understand a visual network more easily than raw table data

Your Solution For

  • Visualization of networks
  • Documentation
  • Monitor the spectrum instantly, without scrolling through thousands of recordings.
  • See immediately what is happening, recognize results that may be wrong (e.g., incorrect detection or decoding), and use these insights to improve monitoring tasks or adjust your decoders.
  • Analyze the received data to identify frequencies or decoders that should be blocked because they add no value and only overload your system
  • Identify networks and track changes

Typical Workflow

Selecting Data Records for Analysis in the ResultViewer

  • Select the data records to be analyzed
    Use any of the available filter methods, such as Advanced Filters, Structuring, or SQL commands, to narrow down the dataset
  • Mark the required entries
    Select the specific data records you want to analyze—or press Ctrl+A to select all
  • Export for network analysis
    Open the Export function (via the button or right‑click), and choose “shoc-Network-Analysis” from the export options

Select Destination Directory for the Result Files

  • Choose the directory for the output files
    Select the folder where the generated PNF and CSV files should be saved
  • Navigate to the desired folder
    Browse through the directory tree to find the correct location
  • Confirm your choice
    Press “Select folder” to save the destination

Define the Graphic Type

Define which data relationships should be analyzed and displayed in the network graphic.
Typical options include:

  • Sender callsign → Receiver callsign
  • Visualizes which stations are communicating with each other
  • Callsign → Frequency
  • Shows which frequencies are used by which callsigns
  • Modem → Frequency
  • Displays which modem types appear on which frequencies
  • Callsign → Modem
  • Reveals which stations use which modem types

Additionally, you can select the desired output format for the generated graphic:

  • Fixed PNG file
    Creates a high‑resolution static image
  • Interactive HTML file
    Produces a zoomable, interactive visualization that allows you to explore the network in detail

Analyze the Graphs

  • After a few seconds, the charts are displayed on the screen
  • If you wish, close it
    • All files have already been automatically saved in the previously selected output directory
    • The diagram created by the software is approximately 6000 x 6000 pixels in size and requires a lot of storage space
