5.2 Using configuration files
ProLink II can read your transmitter’s configuration and save it to a file on your PC. This file can then
be loaded back to the same transmitter, loaded to another transmitter of the same type, and saved for
backup and reference. Micro Motion recommends this step for all transmitters accessible through
ProLink II.
