This form allows you to create a graphical view of alarm states for the alarms you select. In general, you
import a map drawn as a Windows MetaFile (.wmf or .emf) and place alarm points on the map. A single
file may be imported multiple times. An alarm may be placed on multiple maps and each point on the
map may contain multiple alarms.
