OVERVIEW
The Graphics functionality enables new, graphical screens by using enhanced
Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) capabilities. You can now view HART
or fieldbus device information as images, charts, and graphs.
To view the graphical representations, you need a device using an enhanced EDDL
device description and a 475 Field Communicator. The following sections provide
details on the window layout, the buttons used to modify the graphics, and the graphics
options.
SCREEN LAYOUT
A 475 Field Communicator has three elements on a window: a command bar, a tag
bar, and buttons. The command bar shows the back arrow icon, HART heartbeat or
fieldbus logo, LAS indicator (fieldbus devices only), ScratchPad application icon, and
terminate icon. The tag bar shows the device type and device tag. The buttons let you
modify the appearance of a window by panning, zooming, or resetting the window.
The HELP key appears if there is help associated with the particular selection. Use the
left arrow button on the 475 Field Communicator or the back arrow icon on the window
to close the view and return to the previous menu.
