5.1 Map File Generation and
Scaling
The Security Escort maps are standard
Windows bitmap files (.BMP). Map0.edb
is the default map file, usually the
ground floor in multiple map systems.
The map must be saved in the Security
Escort subdirectory (typically
c:\Escort). These maps can be created
from scratch using any Windows paint
program; however, it is best to scan in
an existing site map. Commercial copy
centers usually have scanners that can
handle larger drawing sizes.
If an AutoCad file is available, have
AutoCad export a bitmap for the best
looking maps that require the least
work to make presentable. If the scale
of the exported map is too large or too
small, re-export the map at the
corrected scale rather than scaling the
map in a graphic editor. Scaling a
bitmap file directly produces a file
that requires a significant amount of
manual effort to make presentable.
Save the scanned image as a Windows
bitmap file (.BMP) with 256 colors (8
bit color). High Color (16 bit) or True
Color (24 bit) can also be used, but
the file sizes is much larger and the
maps are slower to load and may require
more system RAM. It should be scaled so
that the entire map file is at least
800 by 600 pixels (covers the entire
Windows screen). The Security Escort
software auto scrolls the map;
therefore, it is not a problem if the
map is larger than the screen. The map
should not be too large. There should
be enough area of the map on the screen
when an alarm is shown, so there is no
question where in the facility the
alarm is located from a quick review of
the map. A good rule-of-thumb is 100
pixels represents 15.24 m (50 ft.) or
greater.
