Remote Operation (Optional)
The 6772 can be operated remotely via PC over a
network with the purchase of the 1965E Remote
Feature Key.
Samba Server Feature (Optional)
Samba was originally developed as an implementa-
tion 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 Micro-
soft network compatibility tool. In relation to CIFS,
Samba allows non-Microsoft operating systems to
enjoy effectively seamless server and client opera-
tion in networks catering to the needs of Windows
computers. It is an “open” standard and defi ned in
IETF RFC1001 and RFC1002.
The Samba server feature option in the Parr 6400
Calorimeter offers seamless fi le services to Win-
dows based clients. It allows the calorimeter to
interact with a Microsoft Windows client as if it is a
Windows fi le server. The Samba server feature can

be used to facilitate data fi le transfer from a calorim-
eter or proximate interface to a PC running the Win-
dows operating system. This method of fi le transfer,
for some users, may be less cumbersome and more
intuitive than using a web browser as an FTP client
program to retrieve or log fi les.
Feature Keys
When purchasing a Remote Feature Key, Samba
Server Feature Key, or Bar Code Feature Key, 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 fea-
ture key. In order to enable the calorimeter to use
the purchased 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 fea-
ture key purchased from Parr Instrument Company
into the instrument by using the touchpad. Pressing
the key labeled “ABC” allows the user to switch from
upper case letters, to lower case letters, to numer-
als, and fi nally to symbols.
