on disk
The backing sequences contained in memory will be
lost when you turn the instrument off, therefore you
need to save them on disk. The following procedure
allows you to save all the back sequences contained in
memory (max 10) in a new file.
1 Insert an empty disk into the disk drive.
The i40M uses 3.5” 2DD/HD (double density or
high density) disks. The disk must be formatted in
MS-DOS® format, compatible with Windows™,
Macintosh® and other systems. The disk must be
non-copy protected and must have space enough to
contain the new data.
2 Press Disk/Global to enter the Disk/Global
mode.

SOR buttons. Press ENTER/YES to enter the
“Format disk” subpage.
