Using USB Storage Devices

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device,
you can save data you've created to the connected device,
as well as read data from the connected device.
NOTE
Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot
be used for saving data.
■ The number of USB storage device to be
used
Only one USB storage devices can be connected to the
USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.

■ Formatting USB storage media

When accessing a USB storage device or media, a
message may appear prompting you to format the
device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page
33).
CAUTION
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make
sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important
data.
■ To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each
storage device or media. If you are saving data to the
USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.
■ Connecting/removing USB storage
device
Before removing the media from the device, make sure
that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the
Save and Format operations).
CAUTION
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or
connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so may result in
the operation of the instrument "freezing" or hanging up. While the
instrument is accessing data (such as during Save and Format opera-
tions) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connec-
tion), do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media
from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing
so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
