Battery life ≥ 5 years
Floppy disk,
(optional on the TDS 520B and 540B)
3.5 inch, 720 K or 1.44 Mbyte, DOS 3.3-or-later compatible
1
The times that reference waveforms, stored setups, and calibration constants are retained.
2
Data is maintained by small lithium-thionyl-chloride batteries internal to the memory ICs. The amount of lithium is so
small in these ICs that they can typically be safely disposed of with ordinary garbage in a sanitary landfill.
