6.16 Transferring Capture Files from the 980 to a PC

If you have initiated captures through the 980 built-in touch screen GUI interface you can transfer these captures to
your PC where the 980 Manager is installed. This enables you to view the captured data on the 980 Manager and
to disseminate these captures to other subject matter experts for additional analysis.
There are three ways you can transfer files from the 980 to the PC. 1) using an FTP utility, 2) using the FTP
command, or 3) saving the files to a USB drive connected to the 980.
Instructions for transferring files using the command line FTP and saving to a USB are provided. Procedures for
transferring the captured files using an FTP utility such as FileZilla are not provided. Please refer to the user
documentation provided with FileZilla. You can download FileZilla at:
https://www.ohloh.net/projects/filezilla/download?filename=FileZilla_3.3.2_win32-setup.exe.
You will need to use the username of qd and the password of qd to login to the 980 in each case.
To transfer capture files using the FTP command:
1. Open up the DOS utility window on your PC.
2. Enter the following command at the prompt:
ftp 192.168.254.237 // where 192.168.254.237 is the IP address of the 980
You will then be prompted for a login. Enter qd and qd for the username and password as shown below.
User (192.168.254.237:(none)): qd
Password required for qd
3. Change directories to the specific workspace directory using the DIR and CD commands.
ftp> dir
ftp> cd workspace
ftp> cd captures
ftp> cd 2010_07_14_01_37_01
4. Use the binary mode for the FTP transfer.
ftp> bin
5. Initiate the FTP get command on the pdecode.log file.
ftp> get pdecode.log
6. Repeat the FTP GET command for the other files you wish to view through the external 980 Manager. You will
want to transfer the .log files at a minimum. You may also want to transfer the .img files for the video
thumbnails.
7. Exit the FTP command line with the following command:
ftp> bye
8. Recreate the directory with an appropriate name in the 980 Manager's working directories:
quantumdata/980Manager/980mgr/workspace/captures/.
9. Move the pdecode.log file and other files that you transferred to your PC into the new directory.
You will now be able to view the files through the 980 Manager.
