3 The maximum settings for the manual scaling
◦ The maximum limits can be calculated as follows:
X = difference between MIN. and MAX. value of the
standard scaling
(Max. value of standard) + (50 % of X)
(Min. value of standard) - (50 % of X)
◦ It is thus possible to scale beyond the measuring range, e.g.
for the adjustment of the scaling limits to standard values of
a PLC.
With the alarm definition, however, the physical measuring
range limits are decisive.

5 Parameterizing, adjusting and analyzing software (P2A software)
The P2A software is used for the parameterizing, adjustment and
analysis of testo transmitters. The following applies:
• Generally, all newer testo transmitters (as of 2007) are
supported.
• Included with every testo transmitter that is bought new is a CD
that contains a free upgrade of the software, which includes the
device drivers for all transmitters that can be attached at this
time.
• This upgrade can be downloaded at any time via the testo
homepage "www.testo.com/Download/P2A".
The software must only be bought one time, even for owners of
several testo transmitters.
5.1.1. Functions and use
In the P2A software, two different file types are used: The
instrument and the parameter file.
Instrument file
The parameters of a particular transmitter are stored in its so-called
instrument file. Using this file, the parameters can be edited and the
instrument can be tested and adjusted.
Instrument files also contain the respective histories in addition to
the parameter data, i.e. "log books" are kept for the previous
parameterizations, adjustments and messages (see Transmitter
history page 33).
Instrument files are ".cfm" format files.
18
Parameter file
Parameter files are not tied to a specific individual transmitter and
contain only parameter data/no history data.
If you use various instruments of the same type, you can create
parameter files once (e.g. by saving the appropriate instrument file
as the parameter file) and transmit these onto the other
instruments.
5 Parameterizing, adjusting and analyzing software (P2A software)
• Pentium processor of at least 400 MHz or equivalent
• 128 MB RAM
• Graphics resolution of at least 1024 x 768
• Unused hard drive capacity of at least 15 MB
• CD-ROM drive
• USB interface
• At least Internet Explorer 5.0.
Software
The P2A software must be purchased and installed separately from
the transmitter. If it is a new software version, the transmitter is
already supported completely. Older P2A software versions can be
updated via the P2A software upgrade (cf. product CD included

- The Properties of <Instrument type> <Serial number>
dialogue is opened with the Change parameterization register.
If the parameters were transmitted from other parameter files into
the instrument file, a message is shown with which you can
transmit the new parameters to the connected instrument using

All analog outputs are parameterized in this
mask.
The original name (Instrument type, Serial number) is
suggested with the current date/time as standard, e.g.
"testo 6321 01234578 061120 1403.cfp".
For a standard installation, the files are saved under
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared
Documents\P2A Software". The path can differ depending
on the version of the operating system.
5.3.2.4. Opening the parameter file
All parameter files stored in the standard directory path are
automatically displayed in the file list when the software is started.
You can also open parameter files that are stored in other
directories.
1. Click on File > Open in the menu bar.
2. Select the storage location and click on the requisite file.
3. Click on [Open].
- The selected file is opened. This can be changed and saved
(see Editing instrument/parameter file page 24).

5 Parameterizing, adjusting and analyzing software (P2A software)
With an n-point adjustment, the parameters at the 3-6
measurement points are adjusted to the reference value. The
reference conditions are obtained by using a precise pressure
sensor that should be 5-times more accurate than the transmitter.
✓ A precise pressure sensor (5-times more accurate than the
transmitter, e.g. DPC precision pressure sensor from testo
industrial services) is available.
1. Connect positive output of the pressure sensor (3) to the
positive pressure connection of the transmitter (2) and the
negative output of the pressure sensor (3) to the negative
pressure connection of the transmitter (1).
