transmitter database, the hard drive, diskettes, or the connected
transmitter
• Upload a configuration to a Model 268 hand-held communicator
• Poll for data from devices on a multidrop network
• Set up an error log and change log
• Send data to a printer or an ASCII file
• Configure measurement units and range limits
• Read process variables and output variables
• Configure, read, trim, and test transmitter outputs
• Store messages and information such as sensor serial number and
model, flow tube and liner materials, and flange type
• Calibrate the flowmeter
• Assign events to RFT9739 outputs
• Reset the transmitter internal totalizers
• Troubleshoot the sensor, transmitter, and cable connections
File location
ProLink files are saved to the default ProLink directory on the personal
computer, unless otherwise specified by the user. Such files include:
• Change log files
• Error log files
• Ticket definition files
• Ticket destination files
If a previous release of the ProLink program is installed:
• The new software may be installed in the same directory as the
earlier version, or in a new directory. The new program files will not
overwrite any configuration or default files that were created
previously.
• The new software will use any configuration and default files that
were created using earlier ProLink versions. However, if the new
software is installed in a directory other than the default ProLink
directory, it might be necessary to locate configuration and default
files manually when using the new program.
