11. Configuring by using the menus The recommended way of configuring the 795x is by using wizards, as explained in Chapter 10. But
you should use the methods given here if:
x You want to configure an installation which is very different from the examples shown in Chapter 10.
x You want to change only a part of an existing configuration, irrespective of how it was configured in
the first place.
x You are experienced in using the 795x menus.
11.1 What does configuration involve?
After you have installed the instrument and made sure that it is working, you must tell it:
x What inputs the field transmitters are connected to.
x How input data is to be processed.
x How results are to be output.
There is a default configuration which covers a general application. However, it is usually necessary to edit this
configuration to suit particular needs.
11.2 Before you start
Before you begin configuring you must obtain the calibration certificates for all the field transmitters connected to
the 795x. The diagram on Page 11.4 shows an example of a typical calibration certificate.
If you have followed the installation procedure given in Chapter 5, the instrument is ready to be configured.
Otherwise, you must make sure before continuing that:
x The dip switches for the analogue inputs are set as explained in Chapter 5.
x All instrumentation has been connected.
x The instrument is powered up.
