The FCS Express 6 interface utilizes the Ribbon system, similar in design to the familiar Microsoft Office suite of programs (Office 2007 and later). The Ribbon helps you quickly find commands that you need to complete a task. The commands are organized into functional groups collected under Tabs. For example, there is a Gating tab, a Batch tab, an Insert tab, etc.
The Applications button found in Version 4 was replaced with the new File tab in FCS Express 5 and FCS Express 6, which contains actions previously found in the Applications button.
The FCS Express User Options can be found within the Options command in the File tab. Clicking on the File tab→Options will launch the FCS Express User Options window, which contains the adjustable settings found in Edit Preferences in FCS Express V4.
