744 HART Mode Users Guide 6 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.?[...]

Here you can change the Poll Address (0 = single transmitter, any other address = multidrop), and control burst mode. pe12s.bmp HART Information From the[...]

744 HART Mode Users Guide 12 Service Operations The Service softkey provides access to Loop Test, Pressure Zero Trim (where applicable), Output Trim, and Sensor Trim operations. For generic transmitters, only Loop Test, Output Trim, and Pressure Zero Trim are available. (See Table 1.) The trim (adjustment) operations are described later in this man[...]

Documenting Process Calibrator HART Mode Understanding HART Calibration 13 Understanding HART Calibration An analog transmitter has one stage of electrical conversion from a measured physical parameter to a 4-20 mA current loop output. A HART transmitter has the three stages shown in Figure 3. Depending on how the transmitter is used in your applic[...]

This returns you to HART mode, and presents you with the Service menu for the transmitter. 9. Do an Output Trim, a Sensor Trim, or both. These are Service Operations, and are described later in this manual. When you h[...]

Documenting Process Calibrator HART Mode Calibrating a Supported HART Transmitter 17 Output Trim An Output Trim adjusts the tranmitter’s Output stage. You can perform an Output Trim on both generic and supported transmitters. To perform an Output Trim: 1.
