The user can perform the following procedures for CompactFlash
TM
cards using applied instructions for the
CF-ADP.

(Only one pattern is available for FIFO function files. Multiple FIFO function files are created automatically
with a predetermined file name. If the created FIFO function files exceed the allowable capacity, old files
are deleted. The FIFO function is executed in units of files.)
