3.4 Offline, save, and upload
commands
Before choosing Offline, Save or Upload, open the File menu, then
choose Disconnect.
• Choose Offline to edit an existing configuration file.
• Choose Save to save a configuration to the hard drive or to a
diskette.
• With software communication options set for HART primary at 1200
baud, choose Upload to upload a Model 268 with an RFT9739
version 2, RFT9712, or RFT9729 configuration file from the hard
drive or from a diskette. (The IFT9701 and IFT9703 transmitters are
not supported by the Model 268.)
Several RFT9739 configuration items are not saved or restored using
the Save and Upload commands. These items are listed in
Table 3-1
.

Offline and save
To perform an offline configuration:
1. Select an existing configuration file for editing, then choose Offline to
highlight the Configure menu.
2. Open the Configure menu, then use its commands to access the
configuration dialog boxes. Follow the instructions in
Chapter 8
(page 71) through
Chapter 13
(page 131) to edit the configuration
file.
3. After changing the configuration, choose Save to save the edited file.
Upload
Uploading involves four separate procedures:
1. Connecting the PC Interface adaptor to a Model 268
2. Running the ProLink setup program to choose HART protocol (if not
already chosen)
3. Opening the Communication Options dialog box to choose 1200
baud and the HART primary master type (if not already chosen)
4. Choosing Upload in the Transmitter Database, then following the
on-screen instructions
After the Model 268 has been uploaded with the configuration file, the
configuration can be downloaded to a compatible transmitter. For
complete instructions for uploading and downloading with a Model 268,
and for transmitter compatibility, see
Appendix B
, page 171.
