WORKING WITH OFFLINE
CONFIGURATIONS
The Offline menu lets you create offline configurations and view and change
configurations stored in the 475 Field Communicator.
There are two types of HART configurations: device configurations and user
configurations. A device configuration is created from a connected, online HART
device. A user configuration is created offline or transferred to a 475 Field
Communicator from another program. Editing a device configuration within the 475
Field Communicator changes it to a user configuration.
The concept of partial or standard configurations does not apply to the 475 Field
Communicator. All configurations are full configurations.
