      Reformatting your USB drive

      Reformat your usb drive before every flight within the R2A interface

      In order to prepare for a flight you need to make sure you format your usb drive within the R2A interface.

      Every data collection session needs to start with re-formatting your drive. Failing to re-format the drive may lead to the inability to log additional data and therefore a failed capture.

      Formatting the drive via the interface will insure adequate space on the drive and clean up the drive from any previous bad shutdowns, or file fragmentation due to deleting previous projects.
