on.
You must format a 3.5-inch flexible disk before you can use it to store Agilent 35670A
data. Use a double-sided double-density or high-density disk that is not
write-protected. (See the illustration.) The analyzer takes about two and a half
minutes to format a disk and is unavailable for other tasks during that time.
The analyzer offers two types of disk formats—LIF and DOS. Step 3 sets the format.
Step 4 defines the sector numbering (interleave factor) to the default value (1 for LIF
formatted disks or 3 for DOS formatted disks). For more information on the
formatting parameters, use online help.
