This course is designed to familiarize participants with basic procedures for configuring traditional and "smart" analog field devices. After completing this course, participants should be able to explain how to set zero and span and perform a calibration procedure on a traditional analog transmitter. They should also be able to explain the basics of how to configure a smart analog field device using a portable communicator or a laptop PC.
