Go to the configure menu and then UI and then to operator and you will get the window shown below.
This window shows various tabs
The operator tab is used for identification.
You choose the FSQ mode from the modem tab.
Here you can insert the sounding time duration ,the baud rate,the QTC(e.g cq cq cq 3b8XX) and you may leave the other parameters as they are.
To set the audio card that FSQ will use you have to open the audio tab and finally for rig cat control you have to use the rig tab and fill the proper params.
On the bottom right of the screen you have the FSQ-on button,which is green when FSQ is on and the active button which should be red when fsq is active.
The monitor button will open a window which shows all your traffic both incoming and outgoing.
These are the main configs you have to do to have a working FSQ environment.
To send messages and files you have to type commands in the blue section and they are acted upon when you press enter.
Some examples
3b8cw? followed by enter
meaning :-3b8cw are you hearing me.
if yes 3b8cw responds with 3b8fo
snr=-7dB.

I am showing some of these below as an avant gout.
FSQCALL Syntax (US Edition)
The Trigger Commands are:
? * ! ~ ; # % + - @ & $ < > ^ |plus space
callsign text (Enable print)
FSQCALL opens. Addressee station starts to print text. No trigger character used except space
following callsign. You MUST use a space or the trigger will not be recognised.
callsign? (Is station hearing me?)
FSQCALL opens. Addressee station starts to print. When squelch closes, station responds:
callsign<crc>origin_callsign snr=xxdB
callsign* (Enable FSQCALL)
Switches station to ACTIVE if FSQCALL is in SLEEP. Addressee station starts to print. When
squelch closes, station responds: callsign:<crc>origin_callsign Active
callsign! message (Repeat my message)
FSQCALL opens. Addressee station starts to print. When squelch closes, station responds:
callsign:<crc> message This is a simple relay mechanism. message can contain further trigger
commands.
callsign~ message (Repeat my message later)
FSQCALL opens. Addressee station starts to print. When squelch closes, after a delay of about 15
seconds, station responds: callsign:<crc> message This delayed relay is useful when stations
mentioned in message can hear and respond to the original message.
callsign;dest_callsign message (Relay my message)
FSQCALL opens. Addressee station starts to print. When squelch closes, station responds:
callsign:<crc>dest_callsign [origin_callsign] message This is a relay mechanism which preserves
the origin callsign as the message propagates so that any response can be relayed back to that
station. message can contain further trigger commands. In cases where a response is elicited, the
destination station responds: dest_callsign:<crc>callsign origin_callsign message. The message is
then relayed back to the origin station with the callsign of the destination callsign preserved:
callsign:<crc>origin_callsign [dest_callsign] message.
callsign#[nnn] (Send file to station)
Addressee station starts to print. Text following [nnn] will be saved in or appended to text file
nnn.txt. When squelch closes, station responds callsign:<crc>origin_callsign ack if the message
stored OK. There is no response if the message was not received. [nnn] can be alpha, numeric or
mixed.
callsign# (Send default file to station)

origin_callsign.txt. When squelch closes, station responds callsign:<crc>origin_callsign ack if
the message stored OK. There is no response if the message was not received.
allcall#[nnn] (Send file to all stations)
All stations within range start to print. Text following [nnn] will be saved in or appended to
