If the HCS is able to communicate with the slave but does not receive burst Communications Settings messages, the Input LED will alternate red and green.

You may select what would occur to a HART device’s register value in the event that communication is lost with the HCS. If selecting Hold Last Value and a failure is detected, the last measured value before the failure occurred is held.
The display will only show the additional status bytes sent by the slave (from 0 to 25). When the HCS is in Monitor mode, all four variables constantly update. However, the Tag only updates once power is reapplied (upon a loss of power) or when communication with the HART device has been re-established.
