Calorimetric Thermometer Instruction Manual

allows Parr to activate the feature key. In order to enable the calorimeter to use the bar code
feature, the feature key needs to be entered into the instrument. Select the “Program
Information and Control” key from the Main Menu. Next, select “Feature Key” and enter the
feature key purchased from Parr Instrument Company into the instrument by using the
touchpad. Pressing the key labeled “ABC” allows the user to switch from upper case letters,
to lower case letters and finally to numerals. A CD containing all the necessary
documentation and setup information for using both the scanner and the printer is provided
at the time of purchase. A PC based program used for printing bar coded labels is also
provided on this CD.
Computer Connections
If the 6772 Calorimetric Thermometer is to
be connected to a computer, the Ethernet
connection should be used. Calorimetric
Thermometer test data can be transferred
to an Ethernet network connected
computer using the FTP File Transfer
Protocol. First, you must know the IP
address of the network-connected
Calorimetric Thermometer. The network
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server provides this address
shortly after the Calorimetric Thermometer
is turned on. The address can be seen on
the Software & Hardware Info” screen,
under Program Info and Control Menu; see the example screenshot. Users who don’t have a
network infrastructure can create a simple network by connecting a router with DHCP server
capability to the Calorimetric Thermometer using an ordinary CAT 5 network cable. The
Calorimetric Thermometer should be connected to LAN side of the router. The PC in turn is
also connected to the LAN side of the router using a similar CAT 5 cable. A D-Link 614+
router is recommended for this purpose. For this router, operated without a WAN
connection, the primary DNS address of the router (WAN setup) must be set to the IP
address of the router found on the LAN setup page. Other routers behave differently in the
absence of a WAN connection. Providing an active upstream connection to the WAN port of
most routers generally minimizes the use of any obscure setup configurations. An FTP
enabled web browser can be used to access stored test data. The URL is of the following
form:
ftp://root:[email protected]/../flash/data/
In this case, 192.168.0.125 is the IP address of the Calorimetric Thermometer.
