3.1 INTRODUCTION
* NOTE: The operating information and instructions in this section apply to
instruments which have been configured using the template setup
procedure described in Section 2.
All operator activities related to ongoing operations are performed using a series of runtime

be accessed from the runtime mode. These displays allow tuning adjustment for numerous
alarm and control parameters. Tuning access can be password protected.
Operator activities available in the runtime mode include:
• Selecting of the control loop requiring operator activity
• Monitoring process variable input and set-point
• Monitoring output to the control device
• Monitoring alarm status
• Viewing alarm displays and acknowledging alarms
• Changing the local set-point
• Changing operating mode between manual and automatic
• Changing output value while in manual mode
• Changing set-point source between local set-point and remote set-point (if enabled)
• Changing ratio and bias values (if configured)
