Setting Up Your System
2.11.5 Setting the FutureScan Product Overlay
For clients with the FutureScan module (see section 3.5.11), the FutureScan product is
automatically associated with a bitmap labeled futurescan.bmp. You should therefore check to
ensure that this bitmap is in your fastrac/overlays folder.
You can control the appearance of the FutureScan overlay through the
FutureScan Overlay menu. Select Setup > Overlays/Icons >
FutureScan Overlay to open this menu.
The area at the top of the menu should display the message Logo
Detected if the FutureScan overlay is in the proper place.
The checkbox labeled Logo Enabled allows you to toggle whether
the overlay appears when FutureScan is active.
The X and Y textboxes allow you to control how far to the right and
down, respectively, the overlay will appear from the upper left corner
of the screen (in pixels).
2.12 Setting Up Icons
Icons are similar to overlays, with the exceptions that they are attached to specific geographical
coordinates and are permanently displayed once you create them. This section discusses how to
set up your icons for display.
1. Select Setup > Overlays/Icons > Icons to open a
menu that prompts you for a keyword.
2. If you wish to find a specific icon, type in all or part
of the icon’s name and click the Use Keyword
button. Otherwise, hit ENTER or click the All Icons
button to display the entire Icon List.
3. The Icon List menu is similar to the Overlay List menu.
Click the Add button to create a new icon, or click the
Edit button to change an existing icon.
