This opens a new offline configuration window allowing you to setup all FM-3 parameters. The communication status remains “offline” until the configuring is complete and you download the application to the FM-3.

General Setup View

The FM-3 software view is broken up into two areas. The left side view contains the configuration hierarchy window, which acts as a navigation frame. Some elements in the hierarchy can be expanded to show more detailed setup views. Elements with a “+” icon to the left of them may be expanded for added detail.

To expand the element, place your mouse pointer over the “+” symbol and click on it using the left mouse button. The group then expands to show the setup views underneath it. To collapse the expanded group, click on the “-“ symbol located to the left of the group heading.
