2.
The remote computer must be set up as an FTP server. Help from the user's IT department may be
necessary in order to achieve this. Appendix B, Section B2 to this manual suggests one way, using
Filezilla.
3.
The remote computer must also be set up to respond to 'pings'. This is because the instrument pings the
host whilst establishing connection, and if it does not receive a response the archive attempt fails.
When accessing files using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, the address (URL) field can be in one of two formats:
1.
ftp://<instrument IP address>. This allows a user to log in as the anonymous user (if the recorder has any
account with the user name set to 'anonymous' with a blank password.
2.
ftp://<user name>:<password>@<instrument IP address> to log in as a specific user.
Microsoft® Internet Explorer displays, by default, history files only. To quit the history folder, either uncheck the
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/'Enable folder view for FTP sites' option, or check the Tools/Internet
Options/Advanced/Browsing/'Use Web based FTP' option.
REVIEW SOFTWARE
'Review' is a proprietary software package which allows the user to extract 'archive' data from one or more
suitable instruments* and to present this data on a host computer, as if on a chart, or as a spreadsheet. The
host computer must be set up as an FTP server (see Appendix B, Section B2 for a description of one way of
doing this).
As described in the Review help system, 'Review' allows the user to set up a regular transfer of data (using
FTP) from connected instruments into a database on the PC, and then from this database to the chart or
spreadsheet. The chart/spreadsheet can be configured to include one or more 'points' from one or all connected
instruments (where a 'point' is an umbrella term for channel, totalizer, counter etc.).
It is also possible to archive instrument history files to a memory stick, Compact Flash card etc. (depending on
instrument type) and to use this to transfer the data to the PC.
Each type of instrument has its own remote user name and password configuration - for this instrument, the
user name and password are both 'history'.
*Suitable instruments are connected instruments, the archive files of which have the suffix '.uhh'.
5.3.8 Login
Login allows the user to enter a password in order to gain access to areas of the unit's configuration which are
not available when the user is logged out.
Passwords can be assigned to the Supervisor and Engineering level accounts, and it is recommended these
be set with a strong password that is difficult to guess. Passwords are also assigned to the additional 25 user
accounts is the Auditor feature is enabled. Failed login attempts are recorded in the history.
LOGGED OUT ACCESS LEVEL
Logged out mode allows the user to select viewing mode, to view history, to view alarms, to toggle faceplate
cycling on and off, to send notes, to suspend/resume USB archiving and to access the login process.
