Setup and Configuration 6-1
6 Setup and Configuration
This chapter guides you through basic configuration and setup routines. There are six types
of configuration and setup routines in FmNT: System Configuration, Preferences, Initial
Setup, Programming Setup, Prompted Setup and Manual Setup.
System Configuration should be performed after initial installation, before beginning a
programming session and after making any hardware changes. Preferences can be changed at
any time within FmNT. Initial Setup should be performed on initialization of the system and
after major hardware or software changes. Programming Setup is a recommended routine to
be performed prior to beginning a programming session. Prompted Setup is a screen-
prompted routine used prior to a production run. Manual Setup is a group of options that
allow the user to configure individual components of the system.
When you purchase your dispensing system or upgrade to FmNT, a service representative
from Asymtek will assist you in configuring the system with the software. After installation,
you will rarely need to change most configuration options unless major hardware changes
are made to your system.
Go through each Setup Routine exercise in this chapter. You will be asked to repeat some of
these procedures in later programming exercises.
