Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
ter-
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation
(page 37).
Notice
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 stor-
age 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, Copy and Delete operations).
Notice
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 dur-
ing Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is
mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection),
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.
