Calorimeter test data can be transferred to an Eth-
ernet 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 Proto-
col) server provides this address shortly after the
calorimeter is turned on or a static IP address can be
assigned. The address can be seen on the “software
and hardware info” page, under “program informa-
tion 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 pri-
mary 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/
The datalog file can be accessed at:
ftp://root:[email protected]/../flash/log/datalog.csv
In this case, 192.168.0.125 is the IP address of the
calorimeter.
