4.2 Download telemetry file via FTP
In this example, a Signature1000 is set up to measure currents for 2 minutes every 10 minutes and
waves every hour (4096 samples at 4 Hz). The raw current data are processed and a subset is saved
as a telemetry file and made available on FTP.
Configuration example:
%Recommended starting point for configuration file
SETDEFAULT,ALL
OK
