Maps
can be imported into the system for alarm annunciation, Input, Output, and Camera Control.
Many different graphic file formats can be imported into the system. Once imported into the system
the Map is saved as a .bmp file at it’s original size. The General Tab is where the graphic alarm maps
are imported into the system. The I/O Points Tab is where the desired Inputs, Outputs, Cameras, and
Override Groups
are placed on the Map.

Click on the Add Button.
2. Assign the Map a Name the system
will refer to it as. 30 characters or less.
3. Click here to access the File
navigation box used to locate the
graphic map you are looking for. The
system automatically opens to the Maps
subdirectory under WinDSX.

show all available inputs, outputs, and
cameras that may be selected for
inclusion on the map. Placement on the
map is achieved by dragging and
dropping the selected item from the list

on the right. The Map then turns to full
screen to allow exact positioning of the
Icon. Once the Icon is placed exactly
where you desire click on the Map
somewhere other than the location of

an Input, Output or Override Group from a
Map, select the point from the list to the left and press

point and removes it from the map.
