6 Setup and Configuration
Overview
This chapter guides you through basic configuration and setup routines. There are six types of setup and
configuration routines in FmNT:
• System Configuration
• Preferences
• Initial Setup
• Prompted Setup
• Programming Setup
• 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.
Prompted Setup is a screen-prompted routine used prior to a production run.
Programming Setup is a recommended routine to be performed prior to beginning a programming
session.
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 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 and configuration routine in this chapter. You will be asked to repeat some of
these procedures in later programming exercises.
