Replication files
Contain all parameters except the device-specific parameters, e.g., calibration factors or
meter factors. They are used to replicate the transmitter configuration to other devices.
The
.xfer
extension is used to identify replication files.
Tip
You can use a saved configuration file to change the nature of the transmitter quickly. This might be
convenient if the transmitter is used for different applications or different process fluids.
Note
When you use ProLink III format for configuration files, you can specify configuration parameters individually
or by groups. Therefore, you can use this format for both backup and replication.
