4 Operation PROline FieldCheck™ Communication Operation via a personal computer using the “FieldTool™” operating software. 4.5.1 FieldTool™ operating program FieldTool™ is an universal service and configuration software package designed for the PROline measuring devices. The connection is made with a commercial serial cable (9-pole DSUB, 0-Modem) to the underside of FieldCheck.
PROline FieldCheck™ 5 Commissioning Commissioning Function check Make sure that FieldCheck is correctly connected to the measuring device that is to be simulated ( → page 9). The measuring device must be working free of errors in order for a simulation or verification to be started.

9 Appendix PROline FieldCheck™ Groups: The code consists of three letters (AAA, ABA, BAA, etc.). The first letter matches the block code (i.e. each group in block A has a code starting with an A_ _, the codes of the groups in block B start with a B _ _, etc.). The other two letters are for identifying the group within the respective block.
