NOTICE!
• Diagnostic information is available only after the applicable statistics period has been
completed (15 minutes). During this time, some information is set to 0 or replaced by
wildcard characters.
Details shows all devices in the WirelessHART network together with their diagnostic
information.
Whenever a wireless device joins the network, it is automatically inserted into the list if it is
not already there. Wired HART devices connected to a WirelessHART Adapter (SWA70) are
also listed. To remove a device from the list, use the Instrument List. See Chapter 10.1
