2. From the PC command prompt or UNIX command line, type ftp <instrument name>. Where
instrument name is the signal generator's hostname or IP address.
3. At the User: prompt in the ftp window, press Enter (no entry is required).
4. At the Password: prompt in the ftp window, press Enter (no entry is required).
5. At the ftp prompt, either put a file or get a file:
To put a file, type:
put <file_name> /user/waveform/<file_name1>
where <file_name> is the name of the file to download and <file_name1> is the name
designator for the signal generator's /user/waveform/ directory.
If <filename1> is unspecified, ftp uses the specified <file_name> to name <file_name1>.
• If a marker file is associated with the data file, use the following command to download it to
the signal generator:
put <marker file_name> /user/markers/<file_name1>
where <marker file_name> is the name of the file to download and <file_name1> is the name
designator for the file in the signal generator's /user/markers/ directory. Marker files and
the associated I/Q waveform data have the same name.

To get a file, type:
get /user/waveform/<file_name1> <file_name>
where <file_name1> is the file to download from the signal generator's /user/waveform/
directory and <file_name> is the name designator for the local PC/UNIX.
• If a marker file is associated with the data file, use the following command to download it to
the local PC/UNIX directory:
get /user/markers/<file_name1> <marker file_name>
where <marker file_name1> is the name of the marker file to download from the signal
generator's /user/markers/ directory and <marker file_name> is the name of the file to be
downloaded to the local PC/UNIX.
