My machine is showing too much idle time: How do I add warmup programs to a machine?

Adding warmup programs allows you to set programs that will cause the machine to report an idle state when the machine would otherwise be considered active. By setting these programs you can 'warmup' your machines without impacting your utilization data.

First, we'll navigate to the Machine's Settings form. Learn how to access a machine's settings form.

1. Select Data Rules on the left
2. Scroll down until you see the Warmup setting.
3. In the text box to the right, enter the warmup program. If you use multiple programs, separate each with a semicolon.
4. At the bottom, click the Save Changes button.

If your warmup code isn't working properly, please double check that it matches the code we're reading off the machine. You can view what programs we're reading off a machine via a machine's timeline report.
