Formatting the Media
Explanation
Checking the format
If the media has already been formatted, select “Disk Info” after step 2 (on the previous
page) and the following information will be displayed. If the media has not been formatted,
or if it has been formatted in uncorrect format, the error message “Storage media is
defective” will be displayed.
• Type of disk;
• Total disk space;
• Used disk space;
• Available on disk;
• Number of Setup data files;
• Number of P-P data files;
• Number of ACQ(bin) data files;
• Number of ACQ(ascii) data files;
• Number of Image data files.
Points to note concerning formatting
• The following three directories are created automatically when a medium is formatted
using this instrument.
DL_WAVE
Directory for “BIN” (binary) waveform data
DL_SETUP
Directory for “SETUP” (setting parameters)
DL_MISC
Directory for “P-P” and “ASCII” waveform data, as well as “HP-GL”,
“PS” (Postscript), “TIFF” and “BMP” screen image data
• There are cases when a medium which has been formatted with another equipment such
as a PC can not be used.
• If an error message appears when formatting has been completed, the medium may be
damaged.
• Formatting the medium will erase all data on the disk. Be careful.
CAUTION
Never turn OFF the SCSI device or remove the disk (media) such as a MO or a
PD while the access indicator of the SCSI device is lit. Otherwise, damage to
the SCSI device or the disk may result.
