Getting started
FastStats Designer is a Windows application. You choose functions from the menus or the button bar.
Designer is available in 64-bit and 32-bit versions. The FastStats system you build is identical with either version.
You don't need a FastStats licence file (.lic.xml) or licence key to build a
FastStats system in Designer, but you do need one to connect to and analyse
the system.
To start a Designer session, create a new design or open an existing one.
New FastStats design¶
To create a blank design, select New, or select File > New.
Existing FastStats design¶
Designer saves designs as XML documents.
- To open a design, select File > Open or the open button, then find the Designer XML document
- To open one of your last 10 designs, select File > Recent Files
