USER-INTERFACE MODES 1. Meter The meter mode is designed for simple and easy measurement of signals. Oftentimes, you may need to measure something quickly and easily. Often a simple multi-meter is used for this purpose, as it is easy to use. Some multifunctional calibrators may be too slow and difficult to use, so it is easier to just choose the simpler meter. The meter mode in MC6 is optimized for this type of simple and easy metering. 2. Calibrator The calibrator mode is designed for calibrating various process instruments. Oftentimes, you need to check and calibrate a certain process instrument/transmitter....

4. Documenting calibrator The documenting calibrator mode is designed for the process instrument calibration and documenting of the calibration results. In today’s process plant, calibrations often have to be documented. Without a documenting calibrator, documentation must be done manually, which takes a lot of precious time and is prone to error. The documenting calibrator mode in MC6 is optimized for use as a documenting process calibrator. 5. Communicator The communicator mode is designed to communicate with Fieldbus instruments. In today’s process plants, smart instrumentation is being used...
