List / Show DOFs:
Provides a list of installed DOFs (Device Object Files) used by the MFC to communicate with HART
devices. Lists can be view by Manufacturer, by Device Name or by stepping through all Devices one at a
time. Use the soft key controls to move through the list. Pressing the SHIFT key changes soft key
definitions
Down
and
Up
to
PgUp
and
PgDn.
To quickly advance to the next page of a list, press
SHIFT
and then the
PgDn
soft key. To retreat to the prior page, press
SHIFT
and then
PgUp
. Once engaged, the
PgUp
and
PgDn
soft keys remain active until the
Up
or
Down
soft keys or
SHIFT
is pressed again.

List / Edit Configs:
This screen lists all stored HART configurations by Tag Number. The
configurations stored enable fast commissioning of replacement devices,
cloning of existing systems, or re-configuring for changes in process
conditions or batch runs. Any configuration in the list can be sent to
another HART device of the same manufacture and model. The display
can show 20 character tag numbers. Truncated tags are listed if more than
20 characters are used. Moving the cursor down to the tag of interest and
pressing the
Select
soft key will provide a detailed information screen,
including full tag number up to 28 characters, for the tag of interest (see
example below, right).
The editing function allows review of all HART parameters in a config-
uration and modification of editable parameter. The edit function can be
locked out if desired (see the
Lockout
section of this manual for more
information). To view detailed information of a stored configuration, Move
the cursor to the desired tag number and press the Select soft key. The
Config Detail screen (see example at right) provides information to help
the user confirm the identity, origin, and save date/time of the configuration.
Pressing Select again opens the configuration for review or offline editing.
New configurations saved are added to the bottom of the List / Edit Config
list. If multiple entries for one device are shown, the most recently saved
configuration is always shown at the bottom.
Entries in the List / Edit Config list may have been saved or created from
various sources. Possible sources include the save command from a
connected HART device, created in the MFC using the
Create Configs
function, copied from another configuration and renamed, or created by
editing an existing file. An MFC with Documenting option (MFC 4101,
MFC 4103) will also list configurations downloaded from the separately
available Device Management System software from Meriam (see www.meriam.com/dm_solns.htm for
more information). Tag numbers, date / time of save, type of configuration stored, and other information
are displayed under
List/Edit Configs
. Configuration types are:
Complete Config = saved from connected device in Online mode, or a
complete config that was downloaded from DMS
Default Config
= created by MFC in Offline mode, or created in DMS
and downloaded to MFC
Edit Vars Only
= created by editing an existing configuration and includes only the edited parameters
MVar Primary Cfg = for multivariable devices – Primary Variable configuation
MVar Sub Config = for multivariable devices – Sub-configuration (secondary, tertiary, fourth, etc
variables)
