as it may temporarily disturb the communication. Always connect the tool before starting
operation.
IMPORTANT
Carrying out a software download leaves the PD tag, node address, and transducer block
calibration parameters that are retained in the nonvolatile memory inside the target device, but
may reset other parameters to the defaults (except a minor update that does not change the
number of parameters). Hence, where necessary, save the parameters using an engineering
tool, parameter setting utility, or the like before carrying out a software download, and then
reconguretheelddevice(s)afterthedownload.
