Chapter 13 Communications Settings

This instrument is equipped with an FTP (File-Transfer-Protocol, RFC959 com-

pliant) server.

By using a PC FTP client, you can transfer files from the instrument's media to

the PC and perform other file operations.

You can use IE (Internet Explorer) or other popular FTP clients.

13.3 Using FTP to Access Instrument Files

(FTP Server)

Be careful when moving files by FTP, as some FTP client/browser programs

may delete all selected files or folders from the source if you cancel a transfer

before completion. Rather than moving files in one step, we recommend copying

(downloading) and then manually deleting from the source.

13.3.1 Making Settings on the Instrument

LAN settings are required to use FTP.
