NOTE. The oscilloscope can only support flash drives with a storage capacity
of 64 GB or less.
To connect a USB flash drive, follow these steps:
1. Align the USB flash drive with the USB Flash Drive port on the oscilloscope.
Flash drives are shaped for proper installation.
2. Insert the flash drive into the port until the drive is fully inserted.
For flash drives with an LED, the drive "blinks" while the oscilloscope writes
data to or reads data from the drive. The oscilloscope also displays a clock
symbol to indicate when the flash drive is active.
After a file is saved or retrieved, the LED on the drive (if any) stops blinking,
and the oscilloscope removes the clock. A hint line also displays to notify you
that the sa ve or recall operation is complete.
