Saving and Loading Data

Using USB Storage Devices

device, you can save data you've created to the con-
nected device, as well as read data from the connected
device.

Only one USB storage devices can be connected to
the USB TO DEVICE terminal.
Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to for-
mat the device/media. If so, execute the Format opera-
tion (page 92).
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
storage device or media. If you are saving data to the
USB storage device, make sure to disable write-pro-
tect.
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 Delete operations).
NOTICE
• Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB stor-
age device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too
often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instru-
ment "freezing" or hanging up. While the instrument is
accessing data (such as during Save, 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.
