does not support Fbus functionality, it does however allow you to assign an ID number. 
 
If the settings of the connected transmitter need to be viewed or altered, click on the 

Read from 

Tx

 button.  The Custom Units, Decimal Pnt., Display Low, and Display Hi boxes will only show 

settings if Display is set to either Custom Units or Sqr. Root. If Display shows Eng. Units then 
these four boxes are inactive and will be greyed-out. 
 
The Relay Settings will only be active and show valid settings if the connected transmitter 
incorporates relays. 
 
Once all changes have been made, the new settings can be downloaded to the transmitter by 
clicking on the Write to Tx button. 

View Display 

The View Display tab selects a screen where the display reading, as defined on the Set Custom 
Values screen, can be viewed. 
Click on the 

Start

 button to begin viewing the display reading, clicking on the 

Stop

 button will end 

viewing of the display reading. To zero the transmitter display, click on the 

Zero Tx

 button. 

Test a Device 

The Test a Device tab is where test levels can be viewed. 
 
By clicking the START button and setting the pressure ports to equal, Internal Pressure will show 
the transmitters internal raw ADC reading and should be between -25000 and +25000 for a 
working instrument with no pressure applied. When pressure is applied, this value should be 
capable of showing between -5500000 and +5500000. 
Please make sure the transmitter has stabilised at 20º when doing these tests. 
 
The Internal Temperature should show a value of between 0 and 7000 for a working instrument. 
At room temperature this value to be somewhere around 3000. 
 
The Electrical Output test buttons allow the output level of the transmitter to be tested, regardless 
of input pressures. A slider can be moved to the following 3 settings: 
 

Minimum

  output set to the minimum value (e.g. 4mA). 

Mid 

output set to the middle value between the minimum and maximum (e.g.12mA). 

Maximum 

output set to the set maximum value (e.g. 20mA). 

 
If the transmitter is fitted with relays or Auto Zero Valve, they can also be switched on and off 
using this screen (ignoring the set trip points). 
Clicking on the Reset Outputs button immediately cancels any of the tests.   

Load and Save 

The Load and Save tab allows settings to be saved or loaded from a file. 
 
The 

Save to file

 button allows the user to enter a file name and location to save instrument 

settings. 
The 

Load from file

 button selects a file to load previously saved settings. Subsequent clicking on 

the Write to Tx button downloads these settings to the connected transmitter. 

Write Settings 

The write settings tab allows the settings to be saved to text (.txt) file and formatted with each heading 
and the setting that has been applied to it. 
 
The 

Write settings

 button will save all the Transmitter settings under the headings from the 400 

Series firmware menu.
