FMW Windows and Menus Tour
Use the mouse or trackball to explore FMW while being guided on this tour of the menus.
There are five major windows in FMW:
• Main Window
• Programming Window
• Run Window
• Production Window
• Tools Window
A secondary window called the Teach Window, which displays the camera image from the
vision system, is accessed from the Programming Window. Submenus and options are in
drop-down menus below main buttons in all windows.
Each section below visits all the main features of each window and explains the screen area,
toolbars, icons, buttons and drop-down menus.
To start FMW:
1. In the FMW program group, double-click on the FMW icon.
> FMW will now load. It will check to see that all the Input and Output (I/O)
devices for your dispensing system are communicating properly with FMW.
Do not press any keys or the mouse while FMW is booting.
If you get any errors regarding the Conveyor, Dispenser, Heaters or Vision
System, refer back to Chapter 1 - Getting Started and check the readiness
of your dispensing system.
?NOTE If you are attempting to go through this tour not connected to a
dispensing system, or if components of your dispensing system are
missing, you will need to modify the FMW Configuration file or the
system may not boot. Contact Asymtek Technical Support for
assistance.
