E-mail
Before you can send e-mail from the scope, it must first be configured.
1. In the menu bar touch Utilities, then Preference Setup... in the drop-down menu.
2. Touch the E-mail tab.
Choose an e-mail server protocol: MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) is
the Microsoft interface specification that allows different messaging and workgroup
applications (including e-mail, voice mail, and fax) to work through a single client, such as the
Exchange client included with Windows 95 and Windows NT. MAPI uses the default
Windows e-mail application (usually Outlook Express). SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
is a TCP/IP protocol for sending messages from one computer to another through a network.
This protocol is used on the Internet to route e-mail. In many cases no account is needed.
3. If you chose MAPI, touch inside the Originator Address (From:) data entry field and use the
pop-up keyboard to type in the instrument's e-mail address. Then touch inside the Default
Recipient Address (To:) data entry field and use the pop-up keyboard to enter the
recipient's e-mail address.
4. If you chose SMTP, touch inside the SMTP Server data entry field and use the pop-up
keyboard to enter the name of your server. Touch inside the Originator Address (From:)
data entry field and use the pop-up keyboard to type in the instrument's e-mail address. Then
touch inside the Default Recipient Address (To:) data entry field and use the pop-up
keyboard to enter the recipient's e-mail address.
5. You can send a test e-mail text message by touching the Send Test Mail button. The test
message reads "Test mail from [name of scope's email address]."

In addition to these dialogs, summaries are also provided for XY setups, memory (M1-M4)
