• The icons below the graph allow you to change how the view is shown (zoom in/out, change the orientation of the
scanner, etc).
1.
In the left panel, first click on the desired scanner of the cluster, then click on the zone name to edit/create. Do not
select the zone checkbox. The zone must be highlighted to be edited or displayed. If no zone is highlighted, Zone 1 -
Safety is being created. To modify an existing zone, click on the zone in the graph.
2. Select the zone shape from the options on the right side of the screen.
When modifying an existing zone, you may copy zone shapes between zones (Safety and Warning), move a zone
shape between zones (Safety and Warning), edit a zone shape, or delete a zone shape.
• Free-Hand Zones—Click on the pencil icon to free-hand draw the desired zone shape. Click and hold on the
graph starting point (lowest point on either side of the scanner). Move around the scanner to map the outer edge
of the zone. When the zone is complete release the mouse button.
• Line Zones—Click the line icon to draw a triangular shaped zone whose far edge is defined by the line. Then
click and hold on the graph at the starting point of the line (lowest point on the right side of the shape or lowest
point on the left side of the desired shape). Move up and left (or up and right) to draw the straight line. Release
the left mouse button to finish the line.
• Circular Shaped Zones—Click the circle icon to draw a circular shaped zone. Click and hold the cursor on the
graph. Moving the cursor in and out changes the size of the circle up to the maximum range of the unit. When the
desired diameter is reached, release the mouse button.
• Arc Zones—Click on the cone icon to draw a triangular shaped zone whose far edge is defined by an arc
(rounded not straight). Click and hold on the graph at the lowest left hand starting point of the zone. Move to the
right side ending point of the zone and release the button.
• Polygon Shaped Zones—Click on the polygon icon to draw a polygonal shaped zone. Click at the starting point
of the desired polygonal zone. Move to the next edge transition point and click again. Keep clicking at the
transition points. To finish the zone, double-click at the final point of the shape.
• Numerically Generated Zones—Click on the coordinate icon to numerically enter coordinates to create graphical
zones. Coordinates for circles, lines, arcs, and polygons can be entered.
3. To edit a zone, right-click on the zone in the graph, select Shapes from the menu that opens, select the desired
shape to edit, then select edit. To exit editing mode, repeat this step.
Click the eye icon to show Zone transition points and allow the editing (moving) of those points. After the changes are
complete, click the eye icon again to leave editing mode.
Note: Maintain a minimum distance of 40 mm between a Zone limit and fixed objects (e.g. walls).
6.6.6 Special Editing and Display Functions
Icon Function
Resizes a group of selected points.
After a field has been created (and highlighted in the left-hand panel) click this icon then click and hold on the graph. While
holding the mouse button, move the mouse to create a box around the desired section that needs to be resized. When the
mouse is released, the points that can be resized are shown in red.
To resize, click and hold on one of these points and the entire area can be increased or decreased in size.
Adds a new point to a shape.
The new point must be inserted along the shape perimeter and can be used to edit the shape. After a field has been created
(and is highlighted in the left-hand panel) click on this icon, then multiple points can be added to the perimeter of the shape (by
left clicking).
To stop, press the ESC
key or click again on the icon. After these points have been added, they can be used to modify the
shape by moving the points around.
Deletes a point from a shape.
After a field has been created (and is highlighted in the left-hand panel) click on this icon, then click the point(s) that should be
removed from the perimeter of the shape.
When all the desired points have been removed, click again on this icon or press the ESC key.
Measures the distance between two points in a configuration.
Click on the ruler icon, then click and hold on the starting point of the graph measurement. Move the mouse to the end point of
the distance to be measured. As long as the left mouse key is pressed, the distance between the starting point and the location
of the mouse is shown.
Rotates the direction of the scanner by 45° in the direction of the arrow. Nothing physically changes; it makes the graph match
the orientation of the scanner.
