Using USB Flash Memory

USB TO DEVICE PHONES
Using USB Flash Memory
By connecting the instrument to USB flash memory,
you can save data you've created to the connected USB
flash memory, as well as read data from it.
 Number of USB flash memories which
can be used
Only one USB flash memory can be connected to the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
 Formatting USB flash memory
When accessing USB flash memory, a message may
appear prompting you to format the device/media. If
so, execute the Format operation (page 24).
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 the USB
flash memory. If you are saving data to the USB flash
memory, make sure to disable write-protect.
 Connecting/removing USB flash memory
Before removing the USB flash memory from the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the instru-
ment is not accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy
and Delete operations).
NOTICE
Avoid frequently connecting/disconnecting the USB
flash memory too often. Doing so may result in the oper-
ation of the instrument "freezing" or hanging up. While
the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save,
Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mount-
ing the USB flash memory (shortly after the connection),
do NOT unplug the USB connector. Doing so may cor-
rupt the data on either or both devices.
NOTE
File mode cannot be called up in the fol-
lowing situations.
