If you would like to add photos to your survey: e.g., images of
APs, cabling, or other objects of interest, you can do so by using
a video camera integrated into your laptop or tablet. To configure
your video camera, click Settings
=> Camera and Voice Settings in
TamoGraph and select the
Video Camera
tab. You can select the camera you want to use if there is more
than one camera, as well as select the resolution of the photos
that will be taken. Remember that while higher resolutions provide
better image quality, such photos are much larger in size, which
means that your project file might become much larger.
Once you have configured your camera, you can add photos to a floor
plan. To take a photo, click on the webcam button on the toolbar or
press
Ctrl + P
(on Windows computers) or
CMD + P
(on macOS computers). A preview window will appear. When you are
ready to take a shot, press
Enter
or click on the preview window. To cancel, press
Esc
or click outside the preview window. The photo that you have taken
appears as a small camera icon on the floor plan. The position of
the icon depends on when you took the photo:
-
While you were surveying: You may want to take photos while you are
conducting a survey. The best method is to pause the survey, take a
photo, and resume the survey. In this scenario, the photo icon is
placed at your current location on the floor plan.
-
While you were not surveying: You can take photos while you are
inspecting the facility without conducting a survey at the same
time. In this scenario, the photo icon is placed in the center of
the floor plan image, as the application is not aware of your
current location, unless you have configured a GPS receiver and
your current map has been GPS-calibrated, in which case the photo
icon is placed at your current GPS location on the map.
Regardless of the initial photo icon position, you can move the
icon to any location on the floor plan by dragging it with the
mouse. When you hover the mouse over the photo icon, you can see a
small preview window. To see the full size photo, click on the
preview window. If you do not want to see photo icons on the floor
plan, use the
View => Media Objects
menu command to turn them on or off. To delete a photo, drag it off
the floor plan image or press
Del
while viewing the full-size photo.
Photos can also be included in the reports. If the
Media Objects
checkbox in the
report
configuration
window is checked, your photos will be appended to the report. For
each photo, its location on the floor plan will be
indicated.
