• Configuration of all HART devices, including HART 7, HART-IP and WirelessHART devices using your Android Phone/Tablet
• Supports all Bluetooth HART Modems, WirelessHART Gateways and HART-IP devices
• Supports HART DD files directly, no modified/special DD’s required. You can add new HART devices just by adding the DD file without having to pay any update/maintenance charges
• Create and save HART device configuration templates for easy configuration of batches of HART devices (HART device cloning). Templates can also be shared with all our HART Communicators (Windows PC/Laptop/Tablet and Android Phone/Tablet)
• Document HART device configurations in PDF or TXT format. Provides reports/audit trails of HART device configurations – View a sample PDF Report
• Monitor any device parameter (e.g. PV, Multi-Variables, Device Status, etc)
• View and edit device variables. Device writes can be made in batches to speed up device configuration, hence saving time if several variables need to be changed
