FAST/TOOLS applications can be changed without having to stop the system, and there's no impact on other control and data acquisition functions other than the portion being modified.

There is a range of documentation available for the FAST/TOOLS package. The manuals are written for two user groups:
• Operators and system managers
• System integrators and programmers

The manuals are clearly written with many illustrations and useful examples.
The documentation is available on CDROM and can be accessed via a user friendly document browser.

The Online Help contents operate using standard Windows functionality. This presented in a books form. In the help index you can type a part of a key word, to find the information. You also have a full text search using the find facility.
