to a PC running the Windows operating system. This
method of file transfer, for some users, may be less cum-
bersome and more intuitive than using a web browser as
an FTP client program to retrieve or log files.
When purchasing this feature, the user must supply Parr
with the MAC address of the calorimeter (found in the
Software & Hardware Info menu screen). This allows
Parr to activate the feature key. In order to enable the
calorimeter to use the bar code feature, the feature key
needs to be entered into the instrument. Select the
PROGRAM INFORMATION AND CONTROL key
from the Main Menu. Next, select FEATURE KEY
and enter the feature key purchased from Parr Instru-
ment Company into the instrument by using the touch-
pad. Pressing the key labeled “ABC” allows the user to
switch from upper case letters, to lower case letters, to
numerals, and finally to symbols.
To access the test data open the run data folder. To access the log file open the log data folder.

Samba was originally developed as an implementation
of the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. The most
common use of SMB is in Mircosoft’s CIFS (Common
Internet File System) implementation. As a result,
Samba has become a de facto Microsoft network com-
patibility tool. In relation to CIFS, Samba allows non-
Microsoft operating systems to enjoy effectively seam-
less server and client operation in networks catering
to the needs of Windows computers. It is an “open”
standard and defined in IETF RFC1001 and RFC1002.
The Samba server feature option in the Parr 6300 Calo-
rimeter offers seamless file services to Windows based
clients. It allows the calorimeter to interact with a Mi-
crosoft Windows client as if it is a Windows file server.
The Samba server feature can be used to facilitate data
file transfer from a calorimeter or proximate interface
