The next screen to appear is used to save the configuration to an archive. If the configuration is to be edited, press YES (F4) to save the configuration in case a mistake is made. The next screen will prompt for an archive number (0-99). The archive number chosen will be the location where the MXC stores the transmitter's configuration data. Archiving will be discussed in more detail in the Off-Line portion of section 5.

The MXC can now be used to calibrate or configure the transmitter, monitor loop parameters, or test loop functionality. Section 5 of this Manual describes configuring and monitoring of the transmitter, and calibration is described in Section 6. The screen selections to choose the options of configuration, calibration, and loop checkout are found on the On-Line menu screen.

The test routines available through the MXC are used to verify that the Transmitter, the MXC, and the loop are all working properly. Whenever a problem with any of the instruments or the loop is suspected, test the equipment to make sure there are no component failures. The test functions can be accessed in two locations in the MXC, and these are described below.
