Foreground layers are used to contain the MM8000 / MT8001 points,

represented as icons that can show the dynamic states of the real time
database.
Multiple layers can be defined and combined in different combinations to create

all the required views.
Particularly, multiple foreground layers can be used in combination with

background layers to allow for multiple-depth views. For example, the same
background layer can be coupled to foreground layers for areas, sections,
zones, and elements, each couple being a different depth. This allows the
MM8000 operator to zoom in and out through the different depths with a single
mouse click.
Note: Zooming feature not available for MT8001.
A depth is a combination of background and foreground layers with graphical

zoom. One foreground layer can belong only to one depth; therefore, the points
deposited on that layer will be associated with only one depth.
Individual points can be associated to one or more pages. This allows showing

the appropriate graphics at runtime. An MM8000 / MT8001 page is a view—at
a selectable zooming factor—of a depth.
Note: The association between points and pages can be provided automatically
by MM8000 / MT8001 tools (see following) and/or left to a manual setting.
MM8000 only
: Cameras can be associated to points in order to get the video

images at runtime when the point or an event of that point is selected. The
association can be based on a graphic technique: the area covered by the
camera view is depicted using a polygon drawing and the points within that
area are automatically associated.
MM8000 only
: You can create maps for graphical navigation along the

structure trees by defining views at different zooming factors. This can be done
for physical, logical, and geographical tree structures.
See Defining depths [➙ 15].
A free navigation can also be configured, based on explicit linking objects that
you add manually.
See Graphical navigation and page links [➙ 19].
A map can be exported in JPG format.
