4.3.10.8 Pattern Library
The ability to store program patterns in a global pattern library allows multiple programs to access the
same patterns without having to duplicate the pattern in each program. Programs on multiple dispensing
systems can also access the same patterns if the library is stored on a network drive. The library also
ensures that any modifications to a pattern in the library will automatically be used by all programs that
reference that pattern.
To configure the Pattern Library, select
Configuration > Setup Runtime Preferences > Pattern Library
from the FmXP Main Menu. The window shown in Figure 4-45 opens.
