Calorimeter Operating Instruction Manual
Calorimeter test data can be
transferred to an Ethernet network
connected computer using the FTP File
Transfer 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. 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 recommended for this purpose. For
this router, operated without 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:[email protected]/../flash/data/
In this case, 192.168.0.125 is the IP
address of the calorimeter.
