B.7 DISK Format the CF Card

The disk command allows you to carry out CF card maintenance.

The disk format command formats the CF card for use with DL-V3. The format sequence erases all data previously stored on the CF card. This operation is not reversible.

Prior to issuing a disk format command, all logs being sent to file should be unlogged, refer to the UNLOG and UNLOGALL commands in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual, and the log file closed. If a group is being logged, the groupuse stop command should be issued, see the GROUPUSE command starting on Page 118.
