Integrity Monitor Map 2D view

The Integrity Monitor Map 2D view displays for all points or stations the current displacements from the known position in graphical form. For each point or station, it displays the input position and, as soon as it is available, the position estimated by the parent module. Error ellipses and height bars indicate the 3-s error; the difference between the estimated and the input position is shown by a solid line and height bar. A triangle indicates the point or station that serves as reference. A grid and a reference scale roughly visualize the scale of the map. How to navigate the map is described here.

The colors of graphical elements

The Integrity Monitor module uses colors to display the status of points or stations in its module view. To view an assignment of colors to states click here.

To do so, do the following:

  1. Right-click into the background of any map. Make sure not to click one of the graphical elements of the map.
  2. Select the Properties shortcut menu command. The Properties view displays the Map2D Layer category.
  3. Select the setting referring to the appropriate layer and toggle its activation status: Yes enables showing the graphical elements connected with this layer, No disables their display.

Scales in the map

The map display distinguishes between distances, points and stations, and measurements.

For measurements, the map uses a different scale than for distances. The reason for this is that the typical measurement value ranges from sub-millimeter level up to several centimeters, while distances and baselines may extend to kilometers.

The distance and baseline scale is displayed in the legend of the map and can be changed by zooming the map.

The measurement scale, however, is not subject to zooming, thus keeping the display of all maps in a system comparable to each other. For more information on how to influence the size of the graphical elements of the measurements click here.
