Flash ROM

ROM (Read Only Memory) is memory designed specifically for reading out data, and as such data
cannot be written to it. Unlike conventional ROM, Flash ROM can be overwritten—allowing you to store
your own original data. The contents of Flash ROM are maintained even when the power is turned off.
DRAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is memory designed specifically for data writing and data reading
operations. There are two different kinds of RAM, depending on the condition for storing the data: SRAM
(Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM). This instrument is equipped with only DRAM. Because data
contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you should always save any data residing in
DRAM to a USB storage device or internal flash memory in the File mode before turning off the power.
