Back up transmitter configuration

ProLink III provides a configuration upload/download function which allows you to save
configuration sets to your PC. This allows you to back up and restore your transmitter
configuration. This is also a convenient way to replicate a configuration across multiple
devices.
Restriction
This function is not available with any other communications tools.
CAUTION!
The FF host "owns" the function blocks and engineering units. Using any communication tool
to change the function blocks can cause a database mismatch. A database mismatch can cause
the transmitter to go Out of Service (OOS).
Procedure
To back up the transmitter configuration using ProLink III:
1. Choose Device Tools > Configuration Transfer > Save or Load Configuration Data.
2. In the Configuration groupbox, select the configuration data you want to save.
3. Click Save, then specify a file name and location on your computer.
4. Click Start Save.
The backup file is saved to the specified name and location. It is saved as a text file and can
be read using any text editor.
