device to device and are defined in the device description.
Test device View the status as well as self and master test of the device. Test
device initiates a diagnostic routine at the device and can report an
electronics failure, as well as other failures that can affect
performance.
Loop test Set the output of the device at a specified analog value, and test the
integrity of the loop and the operation of indicators, recorders, or
similar devices in the loop.
Calibration Perform such operations a sensor trim, D/A trim, and scaled D/A trim.
Basic Setup
The options in the Basic setup menu are the most fundamental tasks that can be

Detailed setup menu.
Option Description
Tag Modify the tag for the device.
Unit Select the engineering units that are displayed.
Damping Change the response time of the transmitter. It is often used to
smooth the output when there are rapid input variations.
Range values Modify the analog output scaling.
Detailed Setup
The Detailed setup menu provides access to every editable device parameter and all
device functions. The Detailed setup menu varies from one HART device to another.
