The instrument is equipped with the email sending function. You can send emails to PCs in the

instrument in a remote location and collect measured data through an email attachment.

Encryption of email attachments
Data attached to an email, such as screen data and measured data, which can be encrypted, can
be prevented from being obtained by a third party.
• If transmission conditions are frequently satisfied, emails will also be sent frequently.
• The data size of the email attachment may get extremely large. Depending on the email
environment, the email cannot correctly be sent if the size is extremely large.
• The data of the email attachment are encrypted in ZIP format by WinZip 128-bit AE-2/AES
encryption. Encrypted files can be unzipped by Corel WinZip or free software such as 7z. (The
WinZip AES encryption is stronger and securer than the standard zip encryption; however,
supporting software is limited. The encrypted files in this format cannot be unzipped with the built-
in zip feature of Microsoft
• Files are encrypted by 128-bit AES encryption. Presently, the encryption is sufficiently strong;
however, Hioki does not guarantee that the files are never decrypted.
• Manage the encrypted password so that it could not be known by a third party. Note that you
cannot decrypt any files if you forget your password or type an invalid password.
• When setting or changing the password, send a test email first to check whether the attached
data can be unzipped before actually using it.
• Encrypted ZIP files are not compressed.
• When files are encrypted and zipped, sending time is longer due to conversion time.
• The instrument supports pop-before-smtp and smtp-auth (plain, login, cram-md5) as SMTP
authentication (Since the instrument does not support IMAP, SSL, or STARTTLS, some mail
servers, such as Gmail, cannot send emails).
• Transmission to all SMTP servers cannot be guaranteed due to differences among servers.
• AES is the encryption standard specified in the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) PUB 197.
• The instrument can only send emails. It does not have any email receiving function.
• Compressed or encrypted data cannot be loaded as it is on the instrument or on the Wave Viewer
(Wv).
