Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit the amount of a process in a real time by a transmitter even when data is set by providing a radio communicating means for setting the data of the transmitter by a radio. CONSTITUTION:When a digital signal or an analog signal is transmitted to a process input and output device 5, the transmitter 1 receives the supply of a power from a two wire system transmission path 4. The transmitter 1 has an optical interface 14 to communicate with a portable communication unit 2 by the optical interface 21 of the portable communication unit 2. Then, a zero or span adjustment is executed from the portable communication unit 2 side through an optical transmission path 3 and the status information of the transmitter 1 is transmitted to the portable communication unit 2. Thereby, even when the data is being set, the transmitter 1 can detect the amount of the process in a real time.
