Installing L@ti-View
IMPORTANT! Administrator rights are required for L@ti-View installation.

NOTE Refer to Repairing L@ti-View to troubleshoot any difficulties during installation.

Installing the L@ti-View application also installs Openfire© instant messaging and PostgreSQL© database
software as dependencies. L@ti-View is supplied as the application and its dependencies only. Customers must
supply their own data for use with L@ti-View. This data can be from a previously created project, or it can be
created by using the L@ti-View design feature after installation.

1. Create a system restore point and back up all desired data before proceeding.
2. Export any current L@ti-View configurations before upgrading, repairing, or reinstalling.
3. Insert the L@ti-View installation USB drive.
4. Launch the installer and accept the UAC warning and the License Agreement.

 Accounts and Access

System Administrators should decide if they want to use individual user accounts, or role-based user accounts
with shared passwords, or a mixture of the two. Individual accounts are more secure than shared accounts and
can be used to control or block access by individuals, whereas a shared operator account might be useful in
locations where L@ti-View runs constantly.
All users must manually log off at the end of their session. All log in, log out, and exit events are time stamped in
the Events log. Failure to log off could allow another user to perform unauthorized actions.

Change Individual Password

Click File > Change Password... and enter the desired details in the Change Password window.

2D GUI EDITOR MODE

L@ti-View’s editing mode can be used to design or edit site plans using a variety of shapes, texts, function
buttons, and macros. The editing mode also allows creation or editing of item and plan level properties via panels
and sub-menus (Some fields may have been pre-populated by the New Project wizard, but they can be edited if
required).

All panels are visible and docked by default when Editor mode is first opened, but can be dragged, floated,
minimized, or closed as required. Toolbars are horizontal or vertical, depending on their location. L@ti-View
saves previous choices until the next session. However, Editor preferences can be saved using View > Save
Settings.

Project Images
Before creating a new project, it is important to understand how the software organizes the operational part of
the project.
Create and assemble all necessary project images before starting a new project. This may already have been
done if L@ti-View was installed on other machines and the project was saved to a server. To access the saved
project, click Open Project and load the project data.
Images, symbols, and icons are imported at 1:1 resolution. Resize them as desired before changing their
settings. L@ti-View supports most image types, but *.png sized at 9 x 9 mm are recommended for consistency
and clarity.
When importing background images, choose between scaling them to fit on screen or moving them around the
screen using slider bars.
When saving projects and resources, save them to a backed-up server where they can be accessible from other
workstations.

Image Types
Create and save:
l One image of the site or building for the Home page level
l Site and/or individual floor plans for the additional levels
Supported image file types are .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpg, and .tif.
Level images should be approximately 2000 pixels wide 1000 pixels wide (150 dpi).

NOTE When creating a new project, a selection of commonly used symbols are found within the symbols folder.

Saving Images and Icons

L@ti-View creates and populates a basic project folder, but it is possible to manually create and populate a
project folder.
Save symbol images in the user folder. Additional folders can be created anywhere within the parent folder; e.g.,
a separate ‘levels’ folder may be desired for site and floor plans.

x-y Coordinate System

The 2D GUI uses the standard x-y screen grid where the point of origin is the top left corner, and the item
coordinates are its center point. Object center coordinates can be offset to avoid conflicts with adjacent items.

Hochiki America Corporation Version 1.00 | May 2020 | MAN-1443HA

L@ti-View Installation and Configuration Guide Page 30
 2D GUI Editor Mode

z - Index
The 2D GUI uses a virtual-layer system for ordering items according to their priority. These layers are achieved
because L@ti-View automatically creates ‘z-axis’ depth bands (the Z-index) as items are being added in Editing
mode.
The background image layer will always be the lowest layer, and higher priorities will always be displayed on top
of lower priorities, as shown.

While an item’s Z-index can be manually altered in Editing mode, this is not recommended as it could adversely
affect other items and alert flag priorities.

NOTE Layers are different than levels. Levels are equivalent to floors in a building, while layers refer to where an
object is ordered on the z-index.

Bounds
l X. The object’s normal centre point x-axis coordinate
(without offset).
l Y. The object’s normal centre point y-axis coordinate
(without offset).
l Width. The width of the item in pixels.
l Height. The height of the item in pixels.
ZIndex. Measured in pixels, adjusting the values, the Y axis
changes the ‘height’ of the symbol. Symbols are allocated Z-
Index numbers in the order they are added, so it is possible
to stack a symbol on other symbols depending on their z-
index (e.g., a Sounder with index 100005 could sit on top of
BGU 100004 but would be below BGU 100007). This could
be possible where the user adds and defines a hotspot or
macro button, and afterwards adds and drags a symbol on
top of it for ease of identification.
Z-Index numbers can be manually edited, but this is not
recommended as it is not possible to know what numbers
are already in use or what may be used in the future. It is
also not recommended to change the number of 0s in a Z-
Index, as they control the z-layer alert priority bands (e.g., a
zone would be 100x whereas a symbol would be 10000x).
The Z-Index of the base layer image cannot be changed, as
it is always the lowest fixed level.
Offset
l X. The horizontal offset from the object’s center point to
the center of the displayed alert flag, in pixels. This can be
a positive or negative number, e.g. 50px or -50 px. For
zones, the polygon center is offset.
l Y. The vertical offset from the object’s center point to the
center of the displayed alert flag, in pixels. This can be a
positive or negative number, e.g. 50px or -50 px. For
zones, the polygon center is offset.
Drop Shadow. The alarm flag’s drop shadow can be on or
off.

Flags
Zones and Symbols can display an alert flag generated by one or more external sources. The displayed flag is
always the highest priority alert if several input sources send alerts.
Alert flags are allocated a higher z-index than symbols and zones and always appear on top of the display. Alert
flags can also be given a positional offset from their nominal position (center point) so that conflicts between
adjacent symbols can be easily resolved. Alert flags pulse on priority-state transitions, the duration of which is
configurable.

Workstation Config
The Workstation Config tab allows authorized users to access many configuration options, as shown in the left-
hand menu below.

WARNING! Workstation configuration changes can have serious consequences that could affect the L@ti-View
system’s functionality or security.

To allow configuration recovery, export the current configuration or the entire project before making any
configuration changes.

WARNING! Due to the potentially adverse consequences of experimenting with live systems, it is recommended
that Demonstration mode be enabled for training or project creation scenarios.

Always import or reload the Operational configuration or project when finished.

WARNING! Workstation configuration changes can be made in Control Mode or Editing Mode, so Operational
configuration changes should be restricted to specifically authorized persons only.

NOTE Configurations and projects are not the same thing. A typical configuration file export is about 12 Kb, while an
exported project folder holds many files.

Training and development projects can be exported, and then imported if they require further work. Although it is
not recommended, configuration files can be directly edited at the source using an appropriate text-only editing
tool.

General
Use this tab to add a site name to the project.

drawn top-to-bottom. A VDU’s nominal point of origin (x = 0, y = 0) is positioned at the top
left of the screen, so a screen item’s nominal point of origin might be stipulated (in code) as
[x = x+100; y = y + 100].
