Status Bar Codes
The status bar provides up to four status items: • The first field in the status bar is a message field. • Tag: Indicates if a configuration file (filename.MFL) was loaded into the EA memory. Other options include the following: (Uploaded Data) indicates that the current configuration information was uploaded from a transmitter. (Blank) indicates configuration information has not been loaded in from a transmitter or from a configuration file. • Security: Indicates security status: disabled, low, high, medium, or off-line. • HART field indicates communication status: Idle or Busy.
Hot Keys
An underline character in a menu selection indicates the Hot Key for that selection. Press the character to select that menu item.
Path Name Convention
In this section, each heading also identifies the path name. For example, consider the following heading: Maintenance Analog Output Range Values... This indicates that the menu is found under the Maintenance, Analog Output, Range Values... path. This menu can be accessed in multiple ways. Three examples are shown: • Select Maintenance, select Analog Output, select Range Values... • Press Alt-M, A, R. • Press Alt-M, use the arrow keys to highlight Analog Output and press UHWXUQ, use the arrow keys to highlight Range Values and press UHWXUQ. Procedure Convention Rather than explaining all of the possible ways to access a particular screen, procedures in this manual use the term “Select” to indicate there are multiple ways to select an option. For example, the first step in the Sensor Trim procedure is illustrated below. 1. Select Maintenance, Sensor Trim to display the Sensor Trim Select screen.
Cancel Buttons
All EA screens that allow data entry or transmitter action contain a Cancel button. Select Cancel to exit the screen without making any changes.
Fast Keys
Certain menu selections have fast keys assigned, and they are indicated in the menu structure. For example, pressing Ctrl + O is the fast way to open a configuration file.
