Offline configuration

Offline configuration refers to configuring a device offline (without physically connecting to the
device) using a template and then downloading the configuration to the device. Presently, FDC
application software does not support creating offline configuration. However, it supports importing
of offline configuration from FDM (R310 and above).

Online Configuration Overview

Online Configuration option provides the user a set of functions with which they can perform
various operations on a device with an active communication link. These operations primarily
include configuration, calibration, monitoring, and diagnostics of a HART device. Typically, these
operations could be realized through various constructs exposed by the DD file of the device. In
addition, FDC also provides some additional application functions for the user to perform these
functions more conveniently.
