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.
