Restore Factory Configuration
A file containing the factory configuration is always saved in the transmitter's internal memory, and is
available for use.
This action is typically used for error recovery or for repurposing a transmitter.
If you restore the factory configuration, the real-time clock, the audit trail, the historian, and other logs are
not reset.
3.2.6 Replicate a transmitter configuration
Replicating a transmitter configuration is a fast method to set up similar or identical measurement points.
Procedure
1. Configure a transmitter and verify its operation and performance.
2. Use any available method to save a replication file from that transmitter.
3. Use any available method to load the replication file to another transmitter.
4. At the replicated transmitter, set device-specific parameters and perform device-specific procedures:
a) Set the clock.
b) Set the tag, long tag, HART address, Modbus address, and related parameters.
c) Characterize the transmitter.
