How to create and add Start form to appariser .

1. Run PacorClient.
2. Regarding start fixed cut I can’t give you advice – there is no automatic search of start fixed cut. Just create DMC manually with parameters values in the middle of range EX. After change of limits please check in Pacor Client is start diamonds is still EX. Is “yes” you can leave it as is. If “no” then correct parameters values to place them to EX limits.
