Transferring Files Using the LAN
The 1670G-series logic analyzers come equipped with a LAN interface.
You can transfer information from the logic analyzer to a computer for
processing or storage over the LAN without ever copying a file to disk.
Because there are so many different network software packages, this
section does not attempt to explain how to put your logic analyzer on
the local network or how to establish a network connection. Those
topics are covered in detail and with many examples in the LAN
Section of this User’s Guide.
There are three basic types of connection you can establish between a
computer and the logic analyzer over an Ethernet LAN: ftp, telnet, and
X Window. ftp (File Transfer Protocol) is a common UNIX® program
for copying files between two computers. It is also available on many
PCs. A telnet or X Window connection is better suited than ftp for
controlling the logic analyzer, but they cannot transfer files.
See Also The LAN section of this User’s Guide on page 476 for more information
on setting up connections.
