Maps Menu
The surveillance areas that are displayed by Excalibur SE are
viewed as a series of separate maps that have been created by
the Excalibur CAD program. The Maps function of the
System Setup program allows the user to establish the
sequence of maps, regardless of the order in which they were
created or stored by the Excalibur CAD program. A maximum
of 100 maps may be entered in an Excalibur SE sequence.
Note: The Maps function cannot be run until the desired map
files have been created using the CAD program (see Initial
Startup Note, page 1-5).
To define the map sequence setup, select the "Maps" function
from the Excalibur SE System Setup menu bar. The Setup
Maps dialog box is displayed, as illustrated below.
The map order in the current Excalibur SE display sequence is
indicated by the Map Number box at the top of this dialog box,
starting with the first map in the sequence, Map Number 1.
Press the "Next" and "Prev" buttons to step through the current
map sequence. The data directory Path is shown below the
Map Number. The current map file associated with each map
sequence position is shown in the "Map File" box below the
data directory Path.
A list box showing all the current map files in the data
directory is shown in the middle of this dialog box. The order
shown in the list box is not the order of the maps for Excalibur
SE, only the listing of the files in the data directory.
EXCALIBUR SE SYSTEM SETUP
To add a new map to the end of the sequence, select the "Next"
button to advance to a blank record. Then, select a map file
entry in the list box below; that file is then displayed in the
"Map File" entry box. Alternately, type the name of the
desired map file into the "Map File" entry box. Press "Save"
at the bottom of the dialog box to record the new entry.
To insert a map into the sequence, move to the record location
where the new map is to be inserted, then select the "Insert"
button at the bottom of the dialog box; a blank record is
inserted before the map record displayed.
To enter or change the map file for the sequence number
selected, select a map file entry in the list box by clicking the
file name. The selected file is then displayed in the "Map File"
entry box. Alternately, type the name of the map file into the
"Map File" entry box. Press "OK" at the bottom of the dialog
box to record the new entry.
To delete a map from the sequence, move to the record for that
map, then select the "Delete" button. A Delete Record
confirmation box, illustrated below, is displayed.
Select "Yes" to delete the map from the sequence.
After each map file sequence has been entered or changed in
the Setup Maps dialog box, select "Save" to save the data. The
map file data is saved in a file named "MAPSETUP.SDB".
A map file may be placed more than once into the map
sequence, however, only the first copy in the sequence is called
up from a map reference icon (see the Icons Setup program,
Map icon) or when an alarm occurs for an icon on that map.
When all data has been entered, select "Exit" to exit the dialog
box and return to the main System Setup window.
Note: Before exiting the Setup Maps dialog box, ensure that
the sequence of maps, when viewed with the "Next/Prev"
buttons, is in the desired order.
