Formatting Media
The screen data of the analyzer can be saved to either a floppy disk or the memory card (option).
This section describes how to format a floppy disk and the memory card.
2.4.4.1 Formatting a Floppy Disk
The analyzer is equipped with a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive. You can save text data (settings, trace data and
correction data) and BMP data (display data) to floppy disks using this drive. Data saved on a floppy disk
can be processed on a computer.
The following floppy disk formats can be used:
3.5-inch DD 720KB, HD 1.2 MB and 1.44MB (MS-DOS format compatible).
The analyzer can initialize only the HD floppy disks.
Write-protecting the Floppy Disk
This prevents you from accidentally initializing or overwriting a floppy containing previously saved data.
The write protect tab is located in the lower right hand corner of the floppy disk.
To write-protect a disk, slide the tab downwards to the other end (a hole appears).
To disable write protection, slide the tab upwards to the original position (until the hole is no longer visi-
ble) (See Figure 2-156).

CAUTION:
Formatting a floppy disk causes all data to be erased.
1.
Make sure the floppy disk is not write protected.
2.
Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.
3.
