4.2 Configuration of the transmitter using Handheld (HH)
Figure 18 graphically represents the connection of the transmitter to the handheld. Each
transmitter includes a configuration database that stores its operating characteristics in a
non-volatile memory. The handheld is used to establish and/or change selected operating
parameters in a Transmitter database. The process of viewing and/or changing database
parameters is called configuration.
Configuration can be accomplished both online and offline with the Transmitter powered
up and connected to the handheld. The online configuration immediately changes the
Transmitter operating parameters. For offline configuration, Transmitter operating
characteristics are entered into the handheld memory for subsequent downloading to a
Transmitter.
