Connecting USB device

When connecting a USB device to the USB TO DEVICE
terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direc-
tion.
• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,
you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with
the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is
that of USB 1.1.

Using USB Storage Devices

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you
can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as
well as read data from the connected device.

The number of USB storage device to be used

Only one USB storage devices can be connected to the
USB TO DEVICE terminal.

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
94).

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
and Delete operations).
•For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.
NOTE
• Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse can-
not be used.
NOTE
• Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instru-
ment, they cannot be used for saving data.
NOTE
• The format operation overwrites any previously existing
data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not
contain important data.
CAUTION
•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, Delete, Load and Format opera-
tions) 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.
