chapter 1 Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
Engauge is a commissioning tool that optimizes the use of

Honeywell Enraf gauges during installation and operation.
It also includes device management, device configuration,
device diagnostics, and device optimization. Annual
inspections can be performed remotely on an entire site,
and give a quick and thorough overview of the site and
gauge status. Engauge is available in two versions:
Basic
Professional
1.2 Features of Engauge
The features of Engauge basic version are:

Fully supports GPU and FlexConn protocol over
RS232, BPM fieldbus, OneWireless, and HART
connections (only in FlexConn protocol)
Retrieves site configuration information and checks the
status of components and gauges
Supports first line diagnosis with reflection diagram for
radar gauges
Engauge professional version provides in-depth gauge

analysis with detailed reflection diagrams and Heimdall
diagrams. The analysis helps experienced specialists to
fine tune the gauge performance and optimize the result.
Attention
The license determines if you can use Engauge as a Basic
or a Professional version.

chapter 3 Site Scans
3.1 Site Scans
If a site is created and the physical connections are made,

Engauge can automatically scan the field for connected
instruments and field connectors (interfaces). Duplicate
gauge or interface addresses on one communication
line are not allowed. If you are in doubt about the unique
addresses (typically for new instruments), just connect
one, scan the field, use Engauge to change the address,
connect the next one, and scan the field and so on.
There are three kinds of site-scans:

GPU Site Scan
HART Site Scan
OneWireless Site Scan
3.2 GPU Site Scan
GPU Site Scan searches for GPU instruments with a BPM

connection like 854 Servo gauges, 87x and 97x Radar
gauges, 990 FlexConn radar gauges (with HCI-BPM)
and field-connectors with RS232 host connections like
SmartLink, CIU 858, and 880 CIU Prime.
Attention
Only devices with GPU X Record support are found

The Baud rate setting must be set to the same value
for all devices connected to one line. However, the
COM port/interface might differ from one interface/
gauge to another.

Site Scans
Starting a GPU Site Scan

1. In the Site Explorer window, right-click the site icon,
and then click Site Scan.
The Site Scan window appears.

Site Scans
2. Click Scan.

Baud Rate • Number of symbols transferred per second
Time Out • Time to receive an answer after sending a

request message
Turn Around Delay • Waiting time to send the next message to a device
Retries • Number of attempts to send a message after a

time out

their default values.
8. Click OK to start the scan.
The scanning of Hart devices begins and the status

of the scanning is displayed on the lower right of
the window.
After the scan is complete all the HART devices are

displayed in the Site Explorer.

Site Scans
Attention
Engauge can only be used as HART Primary Master.
Engauge does not support HART Secondary Master
behavior.
Engauge ignores non Honeywell Enraf HART devices
that are connected to the computer.

in order to extend the standard range.
Field Name Description
Enable Standard Range • True to run scans on standard addresses (values

between 0 and 99)
Enable CIU Emulation Range • True to run scans on CIU ranges (values between 0
and 999)
• If both selectors are set to false, the scan won’t have
any effect

6.6 Gauge Configuration Settings
Following are the gauge configuration settings that you

can modify:
Advanced Settings
Diagrams (Min-Max, Phase Amplitude, Raw data
samples tank, VCO Amplitude)
Measured Data
Configuration Image
Reports
Advanced Settings
Advanced settings are used to configure the advanced
Items of the gauge, or to view a Phase Amplitude Diagram.
The tabs that display depends on the selected gauge.
For example: A radar gauge has Signal Processing,

where as a Servo gauge has Servo Density. Professional
version has access to all Advanced Item settings.

Professional
Diagrams (Min-Max, Phase Amplitude, Raw data

samples tank, VCO Amplitude)
Diagrams are only available for Radar gauges like 873,

970, 971, 973. Only the diagrams types, which are
supported by the selected Radar type can be created.
Attention
For 990 FlexLine radar, use the diagram viewer from the
FlexConn configuration window.
Professional version has access to Min-Max, Phase

Amplitude, Raw data samples tank, VCO Amplitude, and
Reflection diagrams. But Basic version has access only to
Reflection Diagram.
Measured Data
Measured Data displays different item values and sensor
data depending on the selected gauge.
For example: 854 gauges with density option show

the tabs:
Level (with Compensated innage servo, Hydrostatic
innage, Innage servo, Servo ullage and Hydrostatic
ullage levels)
Servo Density (with Average servo density)

Professional
While a 970 without any option only provides information

about the Level (with Radar innage and Radar ullage levels.)
Configuration Image
Configuration image is used to backup and restore gauge

configurations. Right-click the gauge and then click
Configuration Image. Depending on the selected gauge,
the Image tab has all the items needed to commission
the gauge. The configuration image can be used to set a
gauge back on line when the NOVRAM is initialized after a
software update.
To back up and restore gauge configuration you have the

following options:
Read: This button takes a snapshot of all relevant
configuration settings of the gauge and stores them on
the hard disk
Get Data: This button is used to read the configuration
data from the hard disk
Send: This button is used send the data to the gauge

Professional
Reports
GPU reports are used to read specific items from the
gauge and print it on paper.
The following reports are available:

Commissioning (for configuration settings)
Periodical maintenance (for repairs, used materials, etc)
Configuration Image (all Item Settings)
The Report Properties tab can be used to provide generic

information like customer name, location, site details and
so on.

Professional

chapter 8 Converting Engauge 2.5 Site to
Engauge 2.6 Compatible Site
8.1 About Database Converter
Engauge 2.6 includes a database converter that helps

you convert any existing Engauge 2.5 related site to the
Engauge 2.6 compatible site with the new data structure.
If you are having Engauge 2.4 related sites, you need to
first convert it into Engauge 2.5 compatible site, and then
use the Engauge 2.6 database converter.
How does it work?

The database converter performs the following steps to
convert the old site to the new site:
1. Retrieves site elements and its settings, and graphics

from the old database
2. Creates a new database
3. Copies the retrieved files and settings to the

new database
4. Updates diagrams and gauge data XML files
Converting the Site with Database Converter
Attention
Install Engauge 2.6 before following the instructions
given below.
