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 p roper 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 d rive (if any) stops blinking,

and the oscilloscope removes the clock. A hint line also displays to notify you

that the save or recall operation is c omplete.
