• The program should compile without errors. A message stating “Compile
completed with no Errors” will be displayed. Click OK to acknowledge and
remove the message.
5. Assign a Function Index to the program: Next we must assign a Function Index (FIX)
to the program. The Function Index is used to tell the controller which program you wish
to execute.
• Click on the Assign FIX button on the editor. An input box (Text Edit) as shown
in the figure below will appear next.
• Enter a value of 2 as the FIX for our program and then click on the OK button.

6. Close the editor: Click on the Close button next to close the editor. You will be returned
to the Micro-Tools Project Manager window as shown in the next figure.
7. Build the program: The next step is to link all the programs together into a single file
which can be loaded into the controller. This file is referred to as the FTRAN Image file.
