Overview
A file containing the factory configuration is always saved in the transmitter's internal
memory, and is available for use.
This action is typically used for error recovery or for repurposing a transmitter.
If you restore the factory configuration, the real-time clock, the audit trail, the historian,
and other logs are not reset.
Note
Using a web browser, you can download the factory (.cfg) configuration file and view it with a text
editor, but you must use ProLink III or the display to restore the factory configuration.
