This is a simple guide to help familiarize with the GIS features in Geo SCADA. More information about the GIS functionality in Geo SCADA is available in Geo SCADA Help in Core Reference > Mapping and Geographic Information.
Map Set is the main GIS object that may contain several map sources (base maps and overlay maps) and user queries to display markers on the maps.
Step 1: Create a map source object and name it Map Source. Geo SCADA support 4 types of base map objects - OpenStreetMap, Bing, ArcGIS and WMS. For the purpose of this exercise, please set the Map Source type to OpenStreetMap. Change Default Zoom to 8 to get a larger zoom when the map is displayed.
Step 2: Create a map set object and name it Map Set. Add the Map Source created in Step 1 to the Map Layers of the Map Set.
Step 3: It should now be possible to double click on the Map Set and get a simple map displayed. Note that the displayed map is centered a point with 0, 0 coordinates for longitude and latitude. By default all objects in Geo SCADA inherit their location from the Root group. The Root group has 0s set for longitude and latitude as default. In this example, let's focus the map on Toronto, Canada. Right click on the Root group, click to Location tab and change Source to Static. Use the following values for Position: 43.64093, -79.387478.
Step 4: Display the Map Set again and the map should now be centered on the City of Toronto.
Step 5: User Queries objects can become useful when populating GIS maps with markers. For this exercise, let's display two imaginary outstations that are supposedly located around the City of Toronto. Let's create two Advanced Modbus Generic Direct outstations and name them Outstation1 and Outstation2.
Step 6: For Outstation1 set its Location Source to Static and Position to 43.411305, -79.764562. For Outstation2 set its Location Source to Static and Position to 43.944111, -79.346871.
Step 7: Create a User Query object and name it User Query. The User Query object is located in Create New > Other. Set Display Name to Display Outstations. Set Description to Outstations. Set the SQL Query to the one below. Make sure the "Display by default on Map Set" option is checked.
SELECT
FULLNAME, FOREGROUND, GISLOCATION->LATITUDE, GISLOCATION->LONGITUDE, NAME || '<br> ' ||QUALITYDESC AS TOOLTIP
FROM
CADVOUTSTATION
WHERE
FULLNAME LIKE '%Outstation%'
Step 8: Add the User Query created in the previous step to the User Queries list in the properties of the Map Set object:
Step 9: Display the Map Set again. There should be two markers displayed. Hovering over the markers should display the name of each outstation and its quality as tooltips.
