Transmitter Configuration, Characterization,
and Calibration
5.1 Overview
This chapter describes:
• Saving and loading transmitter configuration files (Section 5.2)
• Configuring a transmitter (Section 5.3)
• Using the Gas Unit Configurator utility (Section 5.3.1)
• Characterizing a transmitter (Section 5.4)

• Configuring temperature compensation (Section 5.7)
• Setting up polling (Section 5.8)
5.2 Using configuration files
ProLink II can read your transmitter’s configuration and save it to a file on your PC. This file can then
be loaded back to the same transmitter, loaded to another transmitter of the same type, and saved for
backup and reference. Micro Motion recommends this step for all transmitters accessible through
ProLink II.
5.2.1 Saving a configuration file to a PC
To save a configuration file to a PC:
1. Choose File > Load from Xmtr to File .
2. Specify a name and location for the configuration file and click Save . Be sure to specify a
unique name.
3. Click Download Configuration .
4. When the load is complete, click Close .
This file is now available on your PC for copying, saving, sending, and reloading.
CAUTION
Editing the configuration file can introduce errors.
To avoid introducing errors into the transmitter configuration file, save an original
version and work on a copy. If you do this, you will always be able to restore the
original version.
