7 LOOP DATA BASES
7.4 Using loop data
Once loop data has be loaded and a loop selected the data can be used for a variety of things.
Retrieving a list of devices from the loop tester hardware using either pre-addressed search or by soft
addressing does not alter the loop data nor does it change the loop selection.
7.4.1 Compare the detected loop
Perform an address by address comparison of the
loop detected by Loop Tester to that of the selected
loop. This can be used to confirm the loop matches
what was commissioned and/or that the loop tester is
connected to right physical loop. Note that only
devices in the selected (“Reference”) loop are shown
and compared to those found on the “Connected”
loop. “Hide matching devices” simply does not
display those addresses that have the expected
device type connected. This can be used easily locate
devices which are incorrect.
7.4.2 Pre-addressed search
As discussed in section 4.1.4, you can search the loop for all devices on the loop according to
the database.
