Logic Analyzer Reference
Disk Drive Operations
Autoload
The Autoload operation allows you to designate a set of configuration
files to be loaded automatically the next time the analyzer is turned on.
This allows you to change the default configuration of certain features
to one that better fits your needs. If both the hard drive and flexible
drive have autoload setups, only the setup on the flexible drive will be
used.
Autoload loads all of the files for a given base filename. If you want to
load only one type of file, rename that file or copy it to a separate name
and enable it as the current Autoload file. As long as Autoload is
enabled before the instrument is shut off, Autoload will remain enabled
when you turn on the instrument and load the configuration files.
Format
CAUTION: Executing Format Disk permanently erases all existing information from the
disk. After formatting, there is no way to retrieve the original information.
The logic analyzer recognizes a variety of sector sizes for LIF disks.
However, it only creates 1024-byte sectors when formatting a LIF disk.
DOS disks always have 512-byte sectors.
The logic analyzer does not support track sparing during formatting. If
a bad track is found, the disk is considered bad. If a disk has been
formatted elsewhere with track sparing, it will be read successfully.
When formatting a disk, the DISK ERROR message appears if the disk
is unformatted. This is normal, and you can safely continue the format
process.
