10. Click on the “Prog” (Program) button to download the output trim settings into the transmitter memory. CAUTION: Any time a connected TDY is “programmed” by downloading a Configuration File into memory, ALL of the configuration parameters resident in the transmitter memory at the time of the download are OVERWRITTEN. This includes things like: tag name, calibration date, trim values, etc.
The parameters can now be edited and/or downloaded into the memory of a connected TDY. Retrieving a Configuration File from the Connected TDY Make sure a transmitter is connected and communicating properly with the Configuration Program, then simply click on the “GetSetup” button.

This condition is “downloadable” to a TDY. It is intended to provide the user with the ability to monitor general trends on the input, functioning within the rated accuracy whenever input is within the conformance range, but inherently less accurate outside the range.
Factory phone numbers are listed on the back cover of this manual. If problems involve a particular TDY, there are several pieces of information that can be gathered from the installation before the factory is called that will help our staff get the necessary answers in the shortest time possible.
