Can after-market CF cards be
used? Operation is not guaranteed. Fur-
thermore, compatibility problems
may result in the operation of the in-
strument becoming unstable. To en-
sure stable operation of the
instrument, use genuine Hioki prod-
ucts. "2.7 Using CF Card or
USB Flash Drive (for
Saving Data)" (p. 46)
Can after-market USB flash
drives be used? They can be used, although for real-
time saving, we recommend using a
Hioki-specified CF card and USB
flash drive option for data protection.
Operation can only be guaranteed
for Hioki CF card and USB flash
drive options. Also, USB flash drive
security features such as fingerprint
authentication are not supported. "2.7 Using CF Card or
USB Flash Drive (for
Saving Data)" (p. 46)
Can removable media be re-
placed while measuring? Yes. Put the cursor on the [ EJECT ]
button at the lower right of the
screen, press ENTER, and remove
the media following the displayed
message.

How much recording space is
available? This will differ depending on the set-
ting conditions (number of measure-
ment channels and recording
interval) When recording to 1 GB
storage media at a recording interval
of 1 s, you can record for a period of
approx. 1,500 days. "Appendix 6 Maximum

saved with
