11.3 Format data card
In order for them to store data, data cards must first be formatted before
they are used for the first time. The format of the file system created
depends on the type of instrument. It is not possible to read in or write on
data cards from other Metrohm instruments or cards with PC-readable file
systems without first reformatting them in the Titroprocessor 796.
Reformatting procedure
• Insert the data card (only SRAM cards) in the card slot.
• Open the Titroprocessor file manager.
• Press the [Change storage] softkey and select 'Data card'.
• If the data card has never been formatted or has an unreadable file
system this will be recognized by the Titroprocessor and a query about
formatting the card will appear.
