Abstract

An improved interface is established between a field management system and a calibrator for calibrating a process device to provide increased efficiency. The interface includes a communication module for communicating with the calibrator in accordance with a calibrator-specific protocol and a translation module for translating calibration information between an FMS-compatible format and a common data format. The interface allowing calibration information to flow between the calibrator and the FMS.
