Summary
The FDMO operand allows field data for any field point to be modified to arbitrary value in the Merit Function editor. Any subsequent operands in the editor will use the modified field data, allowing a system to be optimized for any number of arbitrary field values. The original field data are then restored using the FDRE operand, by the presence of a CONF operand, or when the end of the Merit Function editor has been reached.
