Supported vs. Generic Transmitters

The calibrator communicates with virtually all HART transmitters. In addition, the calibrator is programmed to use device-dependent commands for a selection of HART transmitters and their software versions. These are “supported transmitters.” All other transmitters are “generic.”

Table 1 shows the operations that are available for supported vs. generic transmitters in single point and multidrop configurations.

Note

Sensor trim is provided for supported transmitters, with a few exceptions, as identified in the list of supported transmitters that you can view on the display.

To display a list of supported transmitters and software versions:

1.If the calibrator is connected to a HART transmitter with the Active Device screen showing, press the Abort softkey, followed by More Choices.

2.If the calibrator is not connected to a HART transmitter, press the rkey followed by More Choices.

3.Press the Device Revs softkey. The Browser screen appears.
