Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page
44).
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-protect.
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,
Copy, Delete and Format operations).
NOTICE
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing
so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or
hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as
during Save, Copy, Delete, 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.
