Flash drive initial read
time
The oscilloscope reads the internal structure of a USB flash drive each time you
install a drive. The time to complete the read depends on the size of the flash
drive, how the drive is formatted, and the number of files stored on the drive.
NOTE. To significantly shorten the initial read time of 64 MB and larger USB
flash drives, format the drive on your PC.

oscilloscope.
