1.6 Downloading Data to a PC via FTP Server
1.6.4 FTP Authentication
FTP authentication of this instrument is set to "Anonymous." Any
device on the network is allowed to access the FTP server.
If you want to restrict access to the FTP server, set FTP/HTTP
authentication to ON and enter the username and password.
We recommend that connection be restricted through the use of a
username and password, to prevent an unauthorized person from
accidentally accessing and deleting the files.
• The FTP server of the instrument allows only one connection
at a time. More than one PC cannot access the server simulta-
neously.
• If no command is sent from a PC for more than one minute
after connecting to the FTP server, the FTP may disconnect
the PC. Reconnect the FTP.
• If connection cannot be reestablished, wait about one minute,
then try again.
• The FTP client can only read files during real-time save, auto-
matic save, manual save, file delete, directory create/delete,
name edit, or format operations.
• If data is being written to the PC card using the FTP at the start
of automatic saving or calculation-data saving, FTP operation
will be interrupted to save data.
• If the instrument ends measurement during data transmission
using the FTP, transmission may be interrupted to save data.
• Be sure to disconnect the PC from the FTP before replacing
the PC card.
• Although the PC card on this instrument can be accessed from
outside using FTP, do not access the card from FTP or the
main instrument, or simultaneously manipulate files from tel-
net, etc. Such operation may lead to unexpected results.
• With Internet Explorer, the refresh date of files may not match
those of the main instrument.
• With Internet Explorer, temporary internet files may retain data
from their previous access, so the previous data may be
obtained instead of the newest data. If the instrument data has
been updated, reload Internet Explorer and then access it via
FTP.
