Online configuration
Using online configuration, you can configure, calibrate, monitor and diagnose a HART device which
is connected to MC Toolkit. FDC provides the features to perform these functions through the various
constructs offered through the DD file of the device. Besides there are certain other features available
under this link for you to conveniently work with a HART device with live communication. After
making changes to the device you can also save a snapshot of the device data as history to later
transfer it to FDM for record and audit purposes.
