The Firmware Directory
This directory contains data which is loaded into the FPGA devices within
the Modulator. To enter the firmware directory type cd /firmware. Typical
firmware directory contents are as follows:
ftp> cd /firmware
250 firmware/
ftp> dir
200 Set port to 172.17.225.20:1147.

9.1.5 The
Logs
Directory
This directory contains the logs kept by the Modulator. These are the same
logs as those viewed on the terminal described in Chapter 3, Operating the
Equipment Locally.
ftp> cd /logs

The file event.log is the Event log, alarm.log is the Alarm log and
temp.log is the Temperature log.
NOTE…
The data for these logs is held in a compressed format, and when viewing a directory the logs are
uncompressed to calculate the file size which may take a few seconds.
Log files may be retrieved by using the get command.
ftp> get event.log
