6. To check if the correct network and the correct port are assigned to the COM interface,
double-click the "PC" object in the right window. Select the "COM interface" object in HW
Config, and select the Object Properties menu command in the shortcut menu.
Note
The COM port is almost always "1" for notebooks. Since most PCs have two COM ports,
you must specify the port to which the HART modem is connected in this tab. Check
whether the settings for the FIFO buffer of the COM port are suitable, or immediately use
a USB HART modem.
7. To insert the HART device, select the "HART modem network" object in the right window
and right-click. In the displayed shortcut menu, select the Insert New Object > Object
command.
In the displayed dialog box, enter the name of the HART device.
8. To set the device address, select the inserted HART device in the right window and right-
click. Select the Object Properties command in the displayed shortcut menu.
9. Enter the device-specific information (long address) in the "Communication" tab of the
Properties dialog for the HART device.
Note
Address with HART

in the multi-drop function.
