Calibrating a Map Using Its Width or Height

Before using a site map, you must calibrate it. Follow the steps below to calibrate it using its width or height. The other dimension is automatically established.
To calibrate it using two known points, refer to Calibrating a Map Using Two Known Points.
  1. Navigate to
    Infrastructure
    Site Manager
    .
  2. Click the map name.
  3. Click Configure Map button
    Configure Map
    Specify Map Width Or Height
    in the map window toolbar.

    Notice the label at the bottom-right, which reads
    MapLoader coordinate system is not configured
    . Although the site map image is uploaded, the XY coordinate system has not been defined for the map. You accomplish this by calibrating the site map.
  4. Enter the known width or height of the site map, in inches.

    The other dimension is automatically established.
  5. Click
    Save
    .
The map is now calibrated. Move the mouse over the map. The X- and Y-coordinates display in the bottom right corner of the map window.

If the source image was a PNG, the origin is placed at the bottom-left of the current map window (excluding the width of the window occupied by its toolbar). If you change the zoom or reposition the site map in the window, the origin remains at the location established during calibration. When you drag RFID readers on the site map or explicitly specify their location, it is relative to this origin.
