We don't use FindEM directly in the AMI lab. It is wrapped up in our Appion software which provides a user interface.
Using FindEM directly is difficult, requiring you to write separate scripts for each processing thread used for each template. Results then need to be played with quite a bit to understand/visualize. AMI has no documentation related to using FindEM outside of Appion. You can view the Appion wrapped FindEM Help page for using FindEM within Appion.
