Caution: Before downloading data to a device, you should connect the software to the HART device via the HART modem and upload the data currently in the device to your PC. To do this, select the Device > Upload to PG/PC menu command or click the corresponding button in the toolbar. The on-screen values are replaced by the actual values for the device. In the status bar, the status changes from "Not connection" to "Connected". If you edit these values, their status changes from "Initial value" or "Uploaded" to "Changed". To transfer the data to the sensor, select the menu command Device > Download to Device or click the corresponding button in the toolbar. All previous sensor data will be overwritten with your edited data. Therefore, be sure to verify the correctness of all data before you transfer it to the device.
