FIN Builder Graphics Tool
FIN Builder Graphics Tool Overview
FIN Builder is a J2 Innovations (
www.j2inn.com) graphics creation and publication tool.
Using the Siemens Connector application, many customized features of FIN Builder
are accessible through the Siemens controllers on Firmware Revision 3.3.1 or later.
FIN Builder allows you to create FIN Builder projects (
.finp files), binding complex data
to sophisticated graphics. FIN Builder also allows you to publish the graphics to a
Siemens TC Modular or TC-36 controller that has a USB port with Drive
B connected
to it, and view them in a Web browser (Kiosk mode). See the
Using the FIN Builder

FIN Builder is an Adobe® AIR® application and requires Adobe AIR to be installed.
