Figure 4.1.2 shows the archive menu for remote archiving. The Archive last hour/day etc. keys allow the user to de-
termine which files are to be archived. Selection of 'Bring Archive Up To Date' causes the recorder to select which-
ever of the Last Hour/Last Day etc. categories is appropriate in order to bring the archive up to date. The 'Last

Additionally, a user on a remote PC has full viewing capabilities, can extract recorder files at any time, and can access
those items of recorder configuration that are associated with the user's login. For successful connection, 'Connect
from Remote' must be enabled and the 'Remote user name' and 'Remote password' must be defined in one of the ac-
counts (all in the Security access menu (
)).
Notes:
1.
In order to view history files when accessing the instrument remotely, the recorder's address, the 'Remote
user name' and the 'Remote password' must be supplied to an FTP client such as PC Review or
Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
2. When accessing files using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, the address (URL) field can be in one of two
forms:
a
ftp://<instrument IP address>. This allows the user to log in as the anonymous user (if the instru-
ment has any account with 'Remote user name' set to 'Anonymous' and a blank password).
b
ftp://<user name>:<password>@<instrument IP address> to log in as a specific user.
3.
For IE5 users only: Microsoft® Internet Explorer displays, by default, history files only. To exit 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.
