4.6 FTView Operation
The module supports direct EDS parameter access allowing FTView to read main
and multidrop process variables directly.
4.6.1 Register EDS File
Before FTView can access the HART data from the module, the module’s EDS file
must be registered on that system.
There are multiple ways to achieve this. One of which is to right-click on the HART
module in RSLinx Classic and select the
Upload EDS file from device
option.

This launches the Rockwell Automation EDS Wizard which will guide the user
through the steps to complete the registration.
