2. What do you need? - ctl library for your own functions
(e.g. called by FSM)
- panels (e.g. for MEP-parser, registers, recipes)
- datapoint type (the specific part)
(recipes & device unit types can be modified as well)

3. - create a directory called fwTell1_SubDet
The basic structure:
- create a directory called fwTell1_SubDet
- with subdirectories: config, dplist, panels, scripts
- in config you can put a file called fwTell1_SubDet.init:
e.g.
main(){
fwInstallation_appendManager(0,”yourName”, PVSS00ctrl, “always”, 30, 2, 2,
“yourScript.ctl”) }
This installs an additional ctl manager – if needed.

5. - create a sub-directory with the path: panels/fwTell1/SubDet
- put in all your specific panels in this directory
(feel free to add additional sub-subdirectories)
- Panels are called by:
e.g. ChildPanelOnCentralModal(“path/yourPanel.pnl”, “name”,
makeDynString(“$1:”+$1, “$2:”+$2));
- this demonstrates how to pass the Dollar parameters to the panel
- please be tidy: complex procedures to be put as functions in scope lib
initialization procedures to be put in initialize of panel
do not spread everything into widgets! (not easy to debug)
or e.g. if you are calling from a tab register:
there is an editor where you have to give the correct path and $-parameters
check our example in fwTell1.pnl

6. - in this directory you put your scripts to be called
by your ctl manager
- in a subdirectory called libs you can put your own
library.
Use our fwTell1.ctl as template so you can
profit for already existing comments for doxygen.

7. you may want to have a function like:
scripts:
you may want to have a function like:
fwTell1SubDet_Configure(domain, device, runType, partID, nSteps);

8. - hardware is stored in fwTell1DPT_ALLTYPES.dpl
dplist:
- hardware is stored in fwTell1DPT_ALLTYPES.dpl
- use ASCII manager (see tutorial 2 – fwHw) and
create your fwTell1_SubDet.dpl
- It will overwrite the default datapoint
( - In case you want to store minor modifications in
the FSM you can make a dpl of the device unit.)

9. How to tell the installation tool:
- with a xml file next to your sub-directories (on top):
fwTell1_SubDet.xml
e.g. <component>
<name>fwTell1</name>
<version>2.3.5</version>
<date> </date>
<init>./config/yourInit.init</init>
<dplist>./dplist/fwTell1_SubDet.dpl</dplist>
<file>./scripts/fwTell1_SubDet_yourManagerScript.ctl</file>
<file>./scripts/libs/fwTell1_SubDet.ctl</file>
<file>./panels/fwTell1/SubDet/yourPanel.pnl</file>
</component>
- Install everything on top of the fwTell1 component
