Data / View Maps
Warning
Map functionality is still under development, as is this page of documention.
Introduction
Maps can be created that display point data. Clicking on the Data / View Maps menu displays the View Maps page.
This page page is used to query the database for data from a predefined set of map points. The data returned from the database query are superimposed upon a background map image, incorporated in an interactive map, or combined with basic shapes to create a diagram.
Click the Display button to retrieve the data specified in the input fields organized under the Select Map, Select Display Time and Interval, Display Options headings. The web browser will remember the map data request parameters and restore them the next time the page is selected.
Trilynx's Operator software and other tools also use maps that can be zoomed and scrolled.
