Formatting a Memory Card

A memory card that you use for the first time may not yet be formatted. The memory card which is not formatted can not
be used in an AH Motion Controller CPU. Therefore, you need to format the memory card. The file system with which the
memory card is formatted is FAT(FAT16)/FAT32.
The following example introduces the most common way to format an SD card, that is, formatting an SD card through a
card reader. However, you still need to read the documents provided by the SD card manufacturer carefully.
If a memory card is formatted, all the data in the memory card will be deleted. You have to check whether the data in
a memory card needs to be backed up before you format the memory card.
