ABSTRACT:
A handheld communication and diagnostic tool is provided. The tool is usable with process industry standard protocols having varying physical layers. Each physical layer includes at least one distinct lead. To facilitate proper loop connections, the tool includes a movable lead access member that allows connection to leads for the first physical layer, while obstructing access to leads for the second physical layer.
