follows:

• When the oscilloscope is powered up, insert the USB drive (WITHOUT update file) into the

USB (Host) port which is located in the front of the oscilloscope.

• When it prompts "USB device install success", it indicates the flash drive is recognized by the

scope, as shown in Figure 1.

• Otherwise the USB drive is not compatible with the oscilloscope
