Color Graphics Maps
The Topaz Color Graphics software is an integrated part of all Topaz Software packages. The
software allows you to add drawings, floor plans, and pictures to the system as maps.
A variety of icons that come with the software, or ones you can create, are assigned to the maps and
represent alarm, access, control points, and map links. When the alarm points the icons represent
generate an alarm condition, the icons flash. Acknowledgement of the alarm is required. You can
then use the access and control icons to lock and unlock doors, turn on lights, and control other
functions that the alarm point has been configured for. The map links allow you to jump between
related maps with a mouse click.
All activity you perform with the Topaz Color Graphics software is archived in the Operator History file
and can be recalled.
Note: For best overall image quality and operating efficiency, make sure the most current video drivers for the card being
used are loaded and minimum of 2 Megabytes of video RAM is installed.
Maps used in the software must be Enhanced Metafile (emf) type files. You can convert AutoCAD,
dxf, jpeg, and bitmap files to emf with third party software such as Paint Shop Pro.
The Topaz Color Graphics software is automatically activated when the Topaz software is started and
you click MAP. It shuts down when you log-off or exit Topaz.
You can hide the Map window by clicking the Minimize button in the top right corner of the map
window.
If you don’t see a MAP button, Color Graphics has not been configured for the workstation. To enable
Color Graphics:

Workstation Name field.
4. Select Alarm Graphics by clicking the mouse in the check box placing a check mark in it.
5. Click Save/Add.

CAUTION: While in the configuration mode, which allows you to add and modify maps and icons, the icons on the
maps is not updated until the color graphics system is placed back into online mode.
