Maintenance and troubleshooting 73Performing simulations and testsThe simulation tools, found in the Simulation menu under the Diagnostics menu, help confirm propercommunication of measured values. There are three standard simulations all performed in a similar way(distance, level, ullage). There are also current simulations. All are explained below.—Figure 46 The Diagnostics menuPerforming standard simulationsStandard simulations are performed by setting a value that you want to communicate and enabling thesimulation afterwards. The procedure below explains the procedure for level simulations, but a similarmethod can be used for distance and ullage simulations.To perform a level simulation1 Select Diagnostics > Simulation > Level Sim > Level Sim.2 Press Edit.3 Set the level value that you want to simulate and press OK.4 Press Back.5 Select Enable and press Edit.6 Press OK.The instrument sends level data signals on the network and the value set should appear as a readingon a DTM interface or HART terminal.Performing current simulationsTo perform a current simulation1 Select Diagnostics > Simulation > Current Simulation.2 Press Edit.3 Set the current that you want to simulate and press OK.The instrument sends the set current on the network and the value set should appear as a readingon a DTM interface or HART terminal.
