4
There are two annunciators related to the USB drive:
MEM (on) - Indicates that a USB drive is connected to the 34972A.
MEM (flashing) - Indicates the the USB drive is either streaming data to
USB (logging), copying from reading memory to USB (exporting), or
importing a configuration from Agilent BenchLink Data Logger.
AUTO (on) - Indicates that logging is active.
• To avoid data loss or incomplete instrument configuration, do not
remove the USB drive while MEM is flashing.
4. Management of files on the USB drive via File Transfer Protocol
(FTP). You would typically use FTP to download and delete files from
the USB drive attached to the 34972A. A typical FTP session is
shown below.
• From a command prompt, enter FTP AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD to start
the FTP session. Use the numbers of your instrument’s IP address
in place of AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD.
• The software will ask for a user name and password. The user
name is Anonymous, and the password is any string, such as xyz.
• Enter the command CD DATA to log onto the USB drive.
• Enter the command DIR to obtain a directory of the USB drive.
• Enter the command CD MY00012345/20091210_134523123 to
change to the directory containing the data you wish to download
from the USB drive to your local computer. Of course, the exact
directory name will vary.
• Enter the command ascii to ensure that you transfer the
appropriate file type.
•Enter the command get dat00001.csv to download that specific
file, or enter mget *.csv to download all files ending in CSV. The
MEM annunciator will not flash during the download.
• Enter the command delete data00001.csv to delete a specific
file, or enter mdelete *.csv to delete all files ending in CSV.
• Enter the command quit to leave the FTP session.
Refer to your computer’s FTP documentation for further details.
