Main Menu

The Main Menu provides the following options:

•Offline - The Offline option provides access to offline configuration data and simulation functions.

•Online - The Online option checks for a device and if it finds one, brings up the Online Menu.

•Transfer - The Transfer option provides access to options for transferring data either from the Handheld Communicator (Memory) to the transmitter (Device) or vice versa. Transfer is used to move off-line data from the Handheld Communicator to the flowmeter, or to retrieve data from a flowmeter for off-line revision.

NOTE

Online communication with the flowmeter automatically loads the current flowmeter data to the Handheld Communicator. Changes in on-line data are made active by pressing SEND (F2). The transfer function is used only for off-line data retrieval and sending.

Online Menu

•Frequency Device - The Frequency Device option displays the frequency output and corresponding flow output of flow transmitters.

•Utility - The Utility option provides access to the contrast control for the Handheld Communicator LCD screen and to the autopoll setting used in multidrop applications.

Once selecting a Main Menu option, the Handheld Communicator provides the information you need to complete the operation. If further details are required, consult the Handheld Communicator manual.

The Online Menu can be selected from the Main Menu as outlined above, or it may appear automatically if the Handheld Communicator is connected to an active loop and can detect an operating flowmeter.

NOTE

The Main Menu can be accessed from the Online Menu. Press the left arrow action key to deactivate the on-line communication with the flowmeter and to activate the Main Menu options.

When configuration variables are reset in the on-line mode, the new settings are not activated until the data are sent to the flowmeter.

Press SEND (F2) to update the process variables of the flowmeter.

On-line mode is used for direct evaluation of a particular meter, re-configuration, changing parameters, maintenance, and other functions.
