MC6 supports the use of three kinds of Device Descriptions for HART instru-
ments:
Device Specific, i.e. custom Device Descriptions for the HART device at
hand, available in MC6. Full instrument data is available.
Generic, i.e. a library of common Device Descriptions applying to most
HART devices. Only a standard set of instrument data is available for in-
struments containing additional, device specific data.
Basic View, a simplified Device Description available in MC6. It presents
the instrument's value parameters only in addition to basic Device Setup
and Process Variable Settings.
The default setting of Active Device Descriptions in MC6 may be defined in MC6's
Settings (see picture on the top right). Also: When connecting to a HART device
and selecting the supply, the tools button on the right opens HART settings where
you can select the Active Device Descriptions (see picture at the bottom right).
This is available in Calibrator, Documenting Calibrator, Data Logger and
Communicator.
