FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transferring files in a net-
work. While the instrument is taking measurements, it can automatically
transfer binary files automatically saved to the PC card to a PC with an
FTP server. The data transfer is possible when both the PC is on the
network and in a remote location.
In this situation, set automatic saving to
[3145 Form]
on the instrument's
Status screen. To regularly save/send data, set the save mode to
[Inter-
val]
or
[Ref. Time]
. If you want to continue saving/sending data even
when the PC card becomes full, set the save mode to
[Delete]
.
For details refer to the instruction manual.
FTP Server
You can use Windows' FTP server. For the FTP server, set the user
name and password for the instrument and register it. For details see the
Windows’ FTP server help. You can use other FTP servers as well, such
as the free TinyFTPDaemon. To perform automatic data sending by FTP
client, the IP address of the PC on which the FTP server is running must
be specified.
