6.2, "Using a CF
Card/USB flash
drive" (p.93)
Can after-market USB flash
drives be used?
They can be used, although for real-
time saving, we recommend using a
Hi
oki-specified CF card option for
data protection. Operation can only
be guaranteed for Hioki CF card op-
tions. Also, USB flash drive security
features such
as fingerprint authen-
tication are not supported. Use a
US
B flash drive whose continuous
current consumption does not ex-
ceed 300 mA (peak 500 mA). (The
p
eak val
ue is displayed as "Max
Power" under the USB flash drive
self-test on the [System] screen.)
