9. Monitor the progress of the file copy operation:
a. During the first stage of the copy process, the display shows the names
of the files as they are copied. Depending on the size of the files being
copied, this may take a couple of minutes.
b. When all of the files have been copied, the message "Finishing copy..." is
displayed while the file system buffers are emptied. This message may
appear for a couple of minutes.
c. When the backup or restore operation is complete, the message "Backup
completed successfully" or "Restore completed successfully" is displayed
before the menu display returns to normal.
NOTE.
If the USB drive or the flash memory on the instrument fills up before
the backup or restore operation completes, an error message is displayed.
Press the ENTER or BACK button to clear the error message. (See page 2-66,
Memory requirements.)
10. After the backup or restore operation is complete, press the up (▲) or down
(▼) arrow button to select TG8000 : UTILITY : USB (Mounted).
11. Press the ENTER button to unmount the USB drive. After the message "You
may now safely remove the USB drive" is displayed, the menu readout should
change to TG8000 : UTILITY : USB (Not mounted).
12. Remove the USB drive from the instrument.
When the TG8000 generator is connected to an Ethernet network, you can use
an FTP client to drag and drop user files to or from the generator. Perform the
following steps to transfer files to or from the instrument using FTP:
1. Connect the TG8000 generator to your local Ethernet network. (See
page 2-48, How to connect the generator to a network.)
2. On a computer connected to the same network as the TG8000 generator, open
an FTP client such as Windows Explorer.
3. In the Windows Explorer command box, enter "ftp://IP address", where IP
address is the network address assigned to the TG8000 generator.
NOTE. Some FTP clients may ask for login credentials. In this case, login with a
user name of "anonymous" and no password.
