Step 3

Clicking on "On Cytoscan (using FTP)" and pressing OK will bring up the following dialog box. For FTP file downloading and analysis a network connection is required. Either the Cytoscan can be connected to a network which can be accessed from the PC, or a direct PC-Cytoscan connection using a "twisted" CAT 5 ethernet cable. In the dialog box are the following buttons: Settings will bring up information concerning the FTP configuration on the system. Connect will connect the user to the FTP file location site using the settings previously entered. Open will load the selected file displayed in the lower part of the window.

Under "IP address or URL of remote machine" the cytoscan default IP address is 192.168.1.200. This needs to be set to the same IP address as on the Cytoscan system. The PC network settings (in the Network section of Control Panel) need to be set up as described in the Cytoscan and Microsoft documentation. Under "path on remote machine" enter the path under which the video file is stored. Under "Port" the default setting is 21, if described otherwise in the Cytoscan manual use whatever number is given. Under "user name on remote machine" and "password" use whatever details you are given to log on to the system. Press OK when all the details have been filled.

If the settings have been correctly entered press Connect and folders on the Cytoscan system will be displayed in the left window (similar to the shot on the right). Navigate to the location of the video files in the OPS system and press Open. Notice that when you click on the header file that you can see the header information in the right hand window pane. This information is the same as the header information given during standard file viewing like in step 2.
