About Instrument Parameters
Instrument Parameters in General
This chapter briefly presents how
Blocks
,
Records
and
Parameters
of
Digital Communication Instruments are viewed in MC6-T and how you
may browse through them. Elements seen while viewing/configuring an
instrument:
•
Blocks and Records have yellow background where the upper right
corner is folded. They may contain sub-blocks, sub-records, editable
parameters and read-only parameters. Tap on the block/record to see
its contents.
• Different types of Parameters :
◦ Editable Parameters have gray background. They may be numeric,
text, single select, multi select or date fields. Tap to edit the field data.
◦ Read-Only Parameters are data that you may view/read but they
cannot be edited. They have gray background with a "lock" in the
upper right corner.
◦ Value Parameter is actually a special case of the Read-Only
Parameter. The value is a result of a measurement and cannot be
edited, but it can be opened for viewing and selected for use in the
Temperature Calibrator , Calibrator , Documenting Calibrator or
Data Logger . Value Parameters have green background. See also
note to the right and hint below
◦
Methods
look like parameters, but are actually automated
procedures for e.g. calibration in HART instruments. For details, see
instrument's user manual.
