This chapter describes both the ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration software
(“ROCLINK 800”) you use to configure and monitor the FloBoss™ 107
Flow Manager (“FB107”) and the FB107’s dynamic user interface.
1.1 ROCLINK 800 Software Description
ROCLINK 800 Configuration software enables you to monitor,
configure, and calibrate FloBoss 107 Flow Managers. Emerson Process
Management provides the software and user documentation on a CDROM.
ROCLINK 800 is designed for ease of use. Drop-down menus simplify
accessing the functions provided by the software. Dialog boxes and dropdown list boxes help to direct selections and data entry. You can perform
actions with the keyboard or a pointing device, such as a mouse. Refer to
Section 1.6, User Interface Basics (located in this chapter) for a
description of the user interface.
You access help screens either from the Help menu or in a contextsensitive fashion using the F1 key. This feature makes it easy to access
on-line information for any ROCLINK 800 topic.
You can build custom displays for the FB107 that combine both graphic
and dynamic data elements, and then use these displays to monitor the
FB107’s operation either locally or remotely.
The software also provides multiple levels of security to control access to
ROCLINK 800 functions as well as the FB107 database.
