Emerson Micro Motion 1600 - 3.2 Work with configuration files; 3.2.1 Save a configuration file using the display; 3.2.2 Save a configuration file using ProLink III

4. Configure Main Menu Available as desired.
Option Description
Enabled The local display Menu option from the process variable screen will be accessible.
Disabled The local display Menu option from the process variable screen will not be accessible.
Important
Once Main Menu Available is disabled, it cannot be enabled from the local display. Use another
configuration tool, such as ProLink III, to re-enable main menu access from the local display.
3.2 Work with configuration files
You can save the current transmitter configuration in two forms: a backup file and a replication file.
Tip
You can use a saved configuration file to change the nature of the transmitter quickly. This might be
convenient if the transmitter is used for different applications or different process fluids.
Backup files
Contain all parameters. They are used to restore the current device if required.
The .spare extension is used to identify backup files.
Replication files
Contain all parameters except the device-specific parameters, e.g., calibration factors or
meter factors. They are used to replicate the transmitter configuration to other devices.
The .xfer extension is used to identify replication files.
3.2.1 Save a configuration file using the display
Procedure
• To save the current configuration to the transmitter's internal memory:
a) Choose Menu → Configuration → Save/Restore Config → Save Config to Memory.
b) When prompted to load 1600 device configuration data from a file, click the on my 1600 device
internal memory radio button.
c) Enter the name for this configuration file.
The configuration file is saved to internal memory as yourname.spare.
3.2.2 Save a configuration file using ProLink III
Note
When you use ProLink III format for configuration files, you can specify configuration parameters individually
or by groups. Therefore, you can use this format for both backup and replication.
Prerequisites
If you are planning to use the USP (Universal Service Port), the port must be enabled. It is enabled by default.
However, if you need to enable or disable it using the display, choose Menu → Configuration → Security and
set Service Port to On.
Procedure
• To save the current configuration to your PC, in 1600 format:
a) Choose Device Tools → Configuration Transfer → Save Configuration.
