Important
Once Main Menu Available has been disabled, you cannot enable it from the local display. Use another
configuration tool, such as ProLink III, to re-enable main menu access from the local display.

3.2 Work with configuration files

3.2.1 Save a configuration file using the display
You can save the current transmitter configuration in two forms: a backup file and a replication file. You can
save it to the SD card on your transmitter or to a USB drive.
Backup files Contain all parameters. They are used to restore the current device if required.
The .spare extension is used to identify backup files.
Replication files Contain all parameters except the device-specific parameters, e.g., calibration factors or
meter factors. They are used to replicate the transmitter configuration to other devices.
The .xfer extension is used to identify replication files.
Tip
You can use a saved configuration file to change the nature of the transmitter quickly. This might be
convenient if the transmitter is used for different applications or different process fluids.
Prerequisites
If you are planning to use the USB drive, the service port must be enabled. It is enabled by default. However, if
you need to enable it, choose Menu > Configuration > Security and set Service Port to On.
Procedure
• To save the current configuration to the transmitter's SD card as a backup file:
a) Choose Menu > Configuration > Save/Restore Config > Save Config to Memory.
b) Enter the name for this configuration file.
The configuration file is saved to the transmitter's SD card as yourname.spare .
• To save the current configuration to a USB drive, as either a backup file or a replication file:
a) Open the wiring compartment on the transmitter and insert a USB drive into the service port.
CAUTION
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not open the wiring compartment while the
transmitter is powered up. Opening the wiring compartment while the transmitter is powered up
could cause an explosion. Save or load configuration files using a method that does not require
opening the wiring compartment.
b) Choose Menu > USB Options > Transmitter --> USB Drive > Save Active Config to USB Drive.
c) Choose Backup or Replicate.
d) Enter the name for this configuration file.
The configuration file is saved to the USB drive as yourname.spare or yourname.xfer .
