Establishing the connection
To establish the connection with FieldCare, proceed as follows:
1. Firstly, edit the connection macro. For this, start a new project and in the window
displayed, click with the right mouse button on the symbol for "Service (CDI) FXA291"
and choose "Edit".

been assigned during the installation of the Windows driver for the TXU10/FXA291
adapter.
The macro is now configured. Complete configuration by clicking "Finish".
3. Start the macro "Service (CDI) FXA291" by double-clicking it and confirm the
subsequent query with "Yes".
A connected device is searched and the suitable DTM is automatically opened.
The configuration starts.
To then configure the device itself, follow these Operating Instructions for the device. The
entire Setup menu, i.e. all the parameters listed in these Operating Instructions, can also
be found in the FieldCare Device Setup.
In general, it is possible to overwrite parameters with the FieldCare PC software and
the appropriate device DTM even if access protection is active.
If access protection by means of a code should be extended to the software, this
function should be activated in the extended device setup.
For this purpose, select: Menu → Setup / Expert → System → Overfill protect →
