ETHERNET INTERFACE
Calorimeter test data can be transferred to an Ethernet
network connected computer using the FTP File Trans-
fer Protocol. First, you must know the IP address of the
network-connected calorimeter. The network DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server provides
this address shortly after the calorimeter is turned on or
a static IP address can be assigned. The address can be
seen on the “software and hardware info” page, under
“program information and control”. See the example
screenshot.
Users who don’t have a network infrastructure can
create a simple network by connecting a router with
DHCP server capability to the calorimeter using an
ordinary CAT 5 network cable. The calorimeter should
be connected to LAN side of the router. The PC in turn
is also connected to the LAN side of the router using a
similar CAT 5 cable. A D-Link 614+ router is recom-
mended for this purpose. For this router, operated with-
out a WAN connection, the primary DNS address of
the router (WAN setup) must be set to the IP address of
the router found on the LAN setup page. Other routers
behave differently in the absence of a WAN connection.
Providing an active upstream connection to the WAN
port of most routers generally minimizes the use of any
obscure setup configurations.
An FTP enabled web browser can be used to access
stored test data. The URL is of the following form.
ftp://root:rootroot@192.168.0.125/../flash/data/
The datalog file can be accessed at:
ftp://root:rootroot@192.168.0.125/../flash/log/
datalog.csv
In this case, 192.168.0.125 is the IP address of the calo-
rimeter.
