Formatting a Memory Device

Formatting a memory device before storing data on it, is required if the device is new,
or if all data on the device must be deleted.
By activating the format command all data will be lost. Make sure that all important
data on the device has been backed up before formatting. If formatting the internal
memory, make sure that all important data is first transferred to the computer.
Formatting the memory device will make it incompatible with System 1200 instru-
ments. To become usable with System 1200 again, the device would need to be
reformatted on a System 1200 instrument.
To exit the screen without formatting the memory device, press the ESC key. This
returns to the previous screen without running the format command.
