You can add the most commonly used HART menu items to a list of favorites for quick
access. (This feature is similar to the favorites/bookmark feature in a web browser.) You
can add menus (with submenus), methods, or variables to the favorites. The list of
favorites is specific to a device revision. It does not include items added from multiple
types of devices.
If the device description for the device has predefined favorites, they are available from
the 
Favorites
screen. Also, some devices may include additional menu items in the
favorites list.
