3.1 Overview
The Transmitter Database dialog box, shown in
Figure 3-1
, page 28,
enables storage, retrieval, transfer, and editing of transmitter
configurations. To open the Transmitter Database dialog box, open the
File menu, then choose Database.
The database contains transmitter configuration files in ASCII code.
A transmitter configuration file has an 8-character filename and a .CFG
extension. The default database includes one sample transmitter
configuration file for:
• the RFT9739 (samp9739.cfg)
• the IFT9701 (samp9701.cfg)
• the IFT9703 (samp9703.cfg)
• the RFT9712 and RFT9729 (samp9712.cfg)
The Transmitter Database dialog box operates in the connect mode and
the offline mode. The mode determines the tasks that the user can
perform.
To connect to the transmitter, open the File menu, then choose Connect.
When connected, the user can:
• Load a configuration file from the connected transmitter to the hard
drive or to a diskette.
• Send a configuration file from the hard drive or from a diskette to the
connected transmitter.
To disconnect from the transmitter, open the File menu, then choose
Disconnect. When disconnected, the user can:
• Edit an existing configuration file.
• Save a configuration file to the hard drive or to a floppy diskette.
• Upload a Model 268 with an RFT9739, RFT9712, or RFT9729
configuration file (the ProLink program cannot be used with a Model
275 HART Communicator).
The user can remove a configuration file from the database at any time.
In the Transmitter Database dialog box, arrows and icons indicate the
direction of the transfer the ProLink program performs when a command
button is selected.
