FAQ: How do I format a thumb drive to receive exported data from the MiniScan EZ or ColorFlex EZ?

 

WarningImportant Notes:
Applies to: MiniScan EZ, ColorFlex EZ

Answer:

USB thumb drives need to be formatted to receive exported data as a CSV file from MiniScan EZ/ColorFlex EZ instruments. Thumb drives must be formatted using FAT16; FAT32 is not supported.

To do this:

  1. Attach the thumb drive to a PC.
  2. Open Windows Explorer and locate the thumb drive in the drive list.
  3. Right-click on the thumb drive icon and select Format.
  4. In the Format dialog select FAT16 (or FAT) and leave all the other fields to defaults. Click on Start (or equivalent).
