Copying an IBASIC Program to or from the

Analyzer

You can create IBASIC programs on your computer and copy them to
your analyzer. Conversely , you can retrieve a copy of the currently loaded
IBASIC program from your analyzer to your computer. From there you
might want to copy it into another analyzer, or edit it.
To copy an IBASIC program file named "ib_prog" to the analyzer:
1. On your computer or workstation, access the analyzer by typing ftp
<hostname>. Enter your user name and password. For example, type
ftp my8712
user name
password
where my8712 is the <hostname>,user name is your login name,
and password is your user password. See “Using FTP to Access the
Analyzer” on page 4-3 for instructions on how to do this.
2. Type cd data at the ftp prompt.
3. Type put ib_prog prog.bas at the prompt to put a copy of your
program into the analyzer.
4. Close the connection and exit ftp by typing bye orquit at the
prompt.
