Delete allows you to delete a selected le from the disk. Simply use the knob,
arrow keys, or keypad to scroll through the directory listing of the disk. Press
the File Name softkey to enter a le name. Pressing the File Name softkey
displays another softkey menu that allows you to enter a le name.
As a safeguard, the instrument prompts you to press the Continue key before
deleting the selected le from the disk. This is to make sure you are not
deleting a le from the disk by accident. If you select Continue, then the
selected le
is deleted
from
the
disk.
After
the
le
is
deleted,
the
directory
listing on
the display
is
updated.

format
The
F
ormat
function
allows
you
to
format
3-1/2
inch,
high-density disks
in
the
instrument.
The
formatted
disks
are
MS-DOS
R

compatible
,
and
can
be
used
in
other
MS-DOS
R

compatible
disk
drives
.
Y
ou
may
notice
there
is
a faster disk access time when you use disks in the instrument that were
formatted by the instrument. This is because some computers and disk drives
format disks with a dierent disk interleave factor than that used by the
instrument. The interleave factor used when the instrument formats a disk
maximizes the data transfer rate to and from the internal disk drive.
As
a
safeguard,
the
instrument
prompts
you
to
press
Continue
before
formatting
the
disk.
This
is
to
make
sure
you
are
not accidentally
formatting
a disk. When you press Continue
, the instrument will format the disk.
The instrument does not support the LIF format.
