Field Communicator Not available
The transmitter automatically saves historical data of several types, including process and diagnostic
variables, Smart Meter Verification test results, and totalizer values. To access the historical data, you can
generate a log file, then view it on your PC.
This procedure is not available over HART. You must use a service port.
CAUTION
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not open the wiring compartment. Contact customer support.
Prerequisites
If you want to generate a totalizer log, you must have previously configured the transmitter to record totalizer
data. However, there is a totalizer history that is logged automatically.
If you plan to use the transmitter display:
• 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.
• You must have a USB drive.
Procedure
1. If you are using the transmitter display, open the wiring compartment and insert the 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.
2. Select the type of log file that you want to generate.
3. If you selected historian data (process and diagnostic variables):
a) Set the date and time for the first entry in the historian log file.
b) Set the number of days that the log file will include.
