ēKo Pro Series User’s Manual
5.4 Configuring ēKoView
5.4.1 Uploading a background map
ēKoView allows users to upload a jpeg map file of the deployment area. This will show up in
ēKoView’s Map page and is useful to locate where the sensor nodes have been placed.
1. The first step is to create a jpeg image file of the area. This can be done by importing a
picture into Window’s Paint program and storing the image as a .jpeg.
2. You can access this page by clicking on the Map link of the Sensor tab.
3. Click on the Upload button at the top right of the Map page.
4. Navigate to the jpeg map file on your PC and click on Open.
5. The next time ēKoView starts you should see this map in the Map view (depending on
your browser settings, you may need to close your browser).
5.4.2 Positioning commissioned nodes
Upload Map
As new nodes are commissioned into the network, they will appear in the Un-positioned Nodes
box on the left hand side Map Panel. To position a node onto the Map, click and drag the node
from the un-positioned box to its location on the Map.
Once you have positioned all the nodes on the map, press the Save button on the top right of the
screen to save your changes back to the server.
