Abstract

A hand-held communication and diagnostic tool (22) is provided. The tool (22) is able to automatically detect connection to a process control loop (18) as well as detect the type of loop (18) to which it is connected without substantially disturbing messaging on the loop (18). Once the tool (22) determines the type of loop (18) to which it is connected, it provides suitable communication and diagnostics appropriate to that specific type.
