AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 3-169
FTP Link
Set the FTP Server to enable you to enter into the hard disk or floppy disk file
system of the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator from a
remote computer.
Type the following command on your computer keyboard:
ftp <IP address>
Press Return on the keyboard.
The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator prompts you to enter a
login name and password. Press the Return or Enter key on your keyboard. The
message
‘User log in’
and the prompt
‘ftp>’
appears when you are successfully logged in.
At the prompt, you can use the commands as listed in Table 3-44. These are the
