Menus and Functions

Fast Key Sequences

HART fast key sequences provide quick online access to transmitter variables
and functions. Instead of stepping through the menu structure using the action
keys, press a HART fast key sequence to move from the ONLINE menu to
the desired variable or function. On-screen instructions provide additional
steps that are required to perform a function.
The fast key sequences for the Model 275 use the following conventions for
their identification:
• 1 – 9 – The alphanumeric keys located directly below the keypad.
• Left Arrow – The LEFT ARROW directional key.
Fast Key Sequence Example
HART fast key sequences are made up of the series of numbers
corresponding to the individual options in each step of the menu
structure. For example, the date can be changed from the ONLINE
menu. Following the menu structure, press 1 to reach Device Setup,
press 3 for Configuration, press 5 for Device Info, press 2 for Date.
The corresponding HART fast key sequence is 1, 3, 5, 2.
HART fast keys are operational only from the ONLINE menu. Return to
the ONLINE menu by pressing HOME (F3) when it is available. The HART
fast key sequences will not function properly unless initiated from the
ONLINE menu.
Use Table 3-1 to find the HART fast key sequences. These codes are only
applicable to the Model 3144P transmitter.
The HART Communicator is a menu driven system; Each screen provides a
menu of options that can be selected or provides direction for input of data,
warnings, messages, or other instructions.

Main Menu

When the HART Communicator is turned on, one of two menus will appear. If
the HART Communicator is connected to an operating loop (online), the
communicator will find the device and display the ONLINE menu (see below).
If it is not connected to a loop (offline), the communicator will indicate that no
device was found. The MAIN menu is displayed when OK (F4) is pressed.
The MAIN menu provides the following options:
• Offline–Provides access to offline configuration data and simulation
functions.
• Online–Checks for a device and if it finds one, brings up the ONLINE
menu.
• Frequency Device–Displays the frequency output and corresponding
pressure output of current-to-pressure transmitters.
• Utility–Provides access to the contrast control for the HART
Communicator LCD screen and to the autopoll setting used in
multidrop applications.
• Transfer–Provides access to options for transferring data either from
the HART Communicator (memory) to the transmitter (device) or vice
versa. Transfer is used to move off-line data from the HART
Communicator to the transmitter, or to retrieve data from a transmitter
for off-line revision.
