Displaying Device Setup
options
The Device Setup on the HART Online menu accesses every
configurable parameter for the connected device. Some devices may
not display a Device Setup menu. Check your device documentation
for more information. Double-tap Device setup to view the process
variables, diagnostics and service, basic setup, detailed setup, and
review menus.
Process Variables
The Process Variables menu lists all process variables and their
values. Process variables are continuously updated when this window
is displayed.
Diagnostics and Service
The Diagnostics and Service menu offers device and loop tests as well
as calibration options. The diagnostics and service operations that are
available vary widely from device to device and are defined in the
device description.
The Test device menu lists the status as well as self and master test of
the device. Test device initiates a diagnostic routine at the device and
can report an electronics failure, as well as other failures that can
affect performance.
Loop test is used to set the output of the device at a specified analog
value, and may be used to test the integrity of the loop and the
operation of indicators, recorders, or similar devices in the loop.
Calibration is used to perform such operations as performing a sensor
trim, D/A trim, and scaled D/A trim.
Basic setup
The Basic setup menu provides quick access to a number of
configurable parameters including tag, unit, range values, and
damping.
The options available in the Basic setup menu are the most
fundamental tasks that can be performed with a device. These tasks
are a subset of the options available under the Detailed setup menu.
The Tag identifies a specific device. Changing the unit option affects
the engineering units that are displayed. Changing range values
modifies the analog output scaling. Changing damping affects the
response time of the transmitter and is often used to smooth the output
when there are rapid input variations.
A modified parameter is highlighted yellow and an asterisk appears to
indicate the change has not been sent to the device. Tap Send to
update the device.
