7 Configure device options and preferences
7.1 Configure the transmitter display
You can control the language used on the display, the process variables shown on the display, and a variety of
display behaviors.
7.1.1 Configure the language used on the display
Display Menu > Configuration > Display Settings > Language
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Local Display Settings > Transmitter Display > General > Language
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Display > Display Language > Language
Language controls the language that the display uses for process data, menus, and information.
The languages available depend on your transmitter model and version.
Procedure
Set Language to the desired language.
7.1.2 Configure the process variables shown on the display
Display
Menu > Configuration > Display Settings > Display Variables
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Transmitter Display > Display Variables
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Display > Display Variables
You can control the process variables shown on the display and the order in which they appear. The display
can scroll through up to 15 process variables in any order you choose. This configuration applies to both auto-
scroll and manual scrolling.
By default, one process variable is shown at a time. You can configure a custom display screen that shows two
process variables at a time.
Restriction
You cannot remove all display variables. At least one display variable must be configured.
Notes
• If you have a display variable configured to show a volume process variable, and you change Volume Flow
Type to Gas Standard Volume, the display variable is automatically changed to the equivalent GSV
variable, and vice versa.
• For all other display variables, if the process variable becomes unavailable due to changes in configuration,
the transmitter will not display that variable.
Procedure
For each display variable, select the process variable to be shown in that position in the rotation.
