Precautions when connecting
Drive
If you format the internal hard disk using the instrument, it is formatted into two partitions. The
PC will recognize them as two drives (such as D: and E:). The volume labels are “Realtime”
and “User,” respectively.
The “Realtime” drive is used as a working area for realtime recording within the DL716. Do
not delete or add files on this drive.
The “User” drive is used to save waveforms that can be recalled later and other data. The
waveforms that can be used on the PC are saved on this drive.
Files that should not be deleted
Do not delete any of the files they are created at the “Realtime” drive when the internal hard
disk is formatted with the instrument.
If you delete any of these files, you will no longer be able to realtime record to the internal hard
disk. If it is deleted, reformat the internal hard disk with the instrument.
