Sending Email messages
14.5 Sending Email messages
The instrument is equipped with the email transmission function. You can send email messages to
computers in the network or to those installed in remote locations via the SMTP server. Moreover,
you can install the instrument in a remote location and collect waveform data through an email
attachment.
How to send email messages
Automatic saving email message Automatically sends an email message with data saved on completion
of measurement attached, according to the automatic saving settings.
Set [Auto save settings] to [On] and choose [Mail] in the [Media] box
in advance. (p. 102)
Manual email transmission with
the SAVE key
Pressing the SAVE key automatically allows an email message to be
sent with saved data attached. Set the [Media] box of the manual save
setting to [Mail] in advance. (p. 109)
Test email message Checks if an email message is successfully sent.
Encryption of email attachments
You can encrypt email attachments, such as screen data and waveform data, to prevent it from
getting into outsiders.
• If transmission conditions are frequently satisfied, email messages will also be sent frequently.
• Data size of an email attachment may get extremely large. Depending on the communication
environment, an email message cannot correctly be sent if the size is extremely large.
• Email attachment data is encrypted in ZIP format by WinZip 128-bit AE-2 / AES encryption.
Encrypted files can be unzipped by Corel WinZip (trademark of another company) or free
software such as 7z. (The WinZip AES encryption is stronger and securer than the standard
ZIP encryption; however, supporting software is limited. The built-in ZIP feature of Microsoft
®
Windows
®
cannot unzip encrypted files in this format.)
• Files are encrypted by 128-bit AES encryption. Presently, this encryption method is sufficiently
strong; however, Hioki does not guarantee that files are never decrypted.
• Handle your encryption password so that outsiders could know. Note that you cannot decrypt any
files if you forget your password or enter an invalid password.
• When you have set or changed the password, send a test email message first to check whether
you can unzip an attachment before actual use.
• Encrypted ZIP files are not compressed.
• When files are encrypted and zipped, sending email messages require a long time due to
conversion time.
• The instrument supports pop-before-smtp and smtp-auth (PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5) as the
SMTP authentication (since the instrument does not support IMAP, SSL, or STARTTLS, you
cannot send email messages to some mail servers, such as Gmail).
• We cannot guarantee transmission to all SMTP servers due to differences among servers.
• AES is the encryption standard specified in the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) PUB 197.
• The instrument have no email reception function but the transmission function.
• You cannot load any compressed and encrypted data as it is on the instrument or on the Wave
Viewer (Wv).
