Conducting a Site Survey Using AirMapper

Set Up a Floor Plan
The recommended way to upload and calibrate floor plans
for AirMapper uses Link-Live to set up the floor plan image
and then send the image(s) to any AirCheck G2 units in your
organization.
To set up a floor plan using Link-Live:
1
Make sure that you have set up and logged in to your
Link-Live user account at Link-Live.com. (See
“Introduction to Link-Live Cloud Service,” page 55.)
2
Get the floor plan ready to upload to Link-Live:
• The floor plan image must be in JPG/JPEG or PNG
fo
rmat.
• If possible, crop out unnecessary details, such as extra
space or text that lies outside the
actual area you want
to survey. This makes details of the floor plan easier to
see on your AirCheck G2.
• Make sure you know some actual phys
ical distances
for the floor plan, either the approximate scale height
or width of the entire floor plan image OR an actual
physical distance between two points on the plan.
3
In Link-Live, select the AirMapper icon on the left
menu column. This lists any completed AirMapper tests.
4
Click the Upload .amp./Manage Floor Plans icon in the
lower right corner . This displays two new icons.
5
Select the Manage Floor Plans icon . This displays
the Manage Floor Plans screen, which shows any
previously upload
ed floor plans.
6
Select the Create New Floor Plan icon to open the
Create New Floor Plan screen.
7
Drag your floor plan file into the box with the camera
icon or click the box to open a file selection window
to select the file. This displays the floor plan image on the
screen.
8
Type the Floor Plan Information in the fields below the
image:
• Survey Name: r
equired identifier for the survey.
• Labels: optional identifiers to help you search for fil
es
within Link-Live.
9
Choose one of the Floor Plan Calibration methods:
• Enter a Width or a Height. Thi
s value should represent
the scale of the horizontal or vertical size of the entire
floor plan image. For example, if you know the floor
plan image represents a space that is 250 feet wide,
enter 250 for the Width. Height is then calculated
automatically based on the image aspect ratio. (Click
the arrows that display when you mouse over the field
to change units between feet and meters.)
• Click on the Ca
librate button, then follow the screen
prompts to enter a distance and calibration points.
