SPG8000A User Manual

Transfer or Install User Files

You can use either an FTP client or a USB drive to transfer user ﬁles between

instruments or to install user ﬁles directly on the instrument.

User ﬁles include test signals, logo overlays, and ID text overlay ﬁles. To install

custom user ﬁles, the signal ﬁles must be installed in the proper directory on the

instrument.

(See

File structure required to install custom user files

Note

If you install new test signal files, you must reboot the instrument before you

can output the new test signals. You do not need to reboot the instrument before

you can use newly installed frame picture files, logo overlay files, or text string

overlay files.

Transfer or Install User Files Using FTP

Connect the instrument to your local Ethernet network or to a standalone

Windows PC. See

SPG8000A Installation and Safety Instructions

for

information about installing the instrument on a

network.

Check

the FTP server on the instrument is enabled. Go to the SYSTEM :

ANONYMOUS FTP menu and select

Enable

Note:

The FTP server is disabled when the instrument is initially shipped from the

factory.

On a computer connected to the same network as the instrument, open an

FTP client such as Windows

Explorer.

In the Windows Explorer command box, enter

ftp://IP address

, where IP

address is the network address assigned to the

instrument.

Note

Some FTP clients may ask for login credentials. In this case, login with a user

name of “anonymous” and no password.

The

Windows

Explorer

window

should

immediately

connect to the

instrument and show the instrument ﬁle structure as shown
