Format allows you to format 3-1/2 inch, high-density disks in the oscilloscope.
You can choose to format disk as MS-DOS or LIF. You can use the MS-DOS
disk in other drives that are also MS-DOS compatible, however, you may
notice that there is a faster disk access time when you use disks in the
oscilloscope that were formatted by the oscilloscope. This is because some
computers and disk drives format disks with a different disk interleave factor
than that used by the oscilloscope. The interleave factor used when the
oscilloscope formats a disk maximizes the data transfer rate to and from the
internal disk drive.
