Format
Format allows you to format 3-1/2 inch, high-density disks in the oscilloscope.
The formatted disks are MS-DOS
compatible, and you can use them in other
disk 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.
As a safeguard, the oscilloscope prompts you to press the continue key
before formatting the disk. This is to make sure you are not formatting a disk
by accident. If you select continue, then the oscilloscope will format the disk.
The oscilloscope does not support the LIF format.
