7.1 Test or tune the system using sensor
simulation

Field Communicator Service Tools > Simulate > Simulate Sensor
Overview
Use sensor simulation to test the system's response to a variety of process conditions,
including boundary conditions, problem conditions, or alert conditions, or to tune the
loop.
Procedure
1. Enable sensor simulation.
2. Set the process variables to the desired test values.
3. Observe the system response to the simulated values and make any appropriate
changes to the transmitter configuration or to the system.
4. Modify the simulated values and repeat.
5. When you have finished testing or tuning, disable sensor simulation.
7.2 Back up transmitter configuration
ProLink II and ProLink III provide a configuration upload/download function which allows
you to save configuration sets to your PC. This allows you to back up and restore your
transmitter configuration. It is also a convenient way to replicate a configuration across
multiple devices.
Restriction
This function is not available with any other communications tools.
