# Format the SD card of the Rebel Data Logger.
After launching the Dialog Software, the user must connect the Rebel Data logger to the PC using a USB cable. To format the SD card in the Rebel data logger, click the 'Format SD' tab in the navigation bar.
The user must click 'Yes' if they wish to proceed; otherwise, click 'No' to stop the SD card from getting formatted (the SD card is not formatted until now).
Once the user has pressed the 'OK' tab and selected to format the SD card, the below window is displayed.
Once done, press 'Yes' to erase the device's active configuration; else 'No'.
Once the SD card is formatted successfully, it will reflect the status on the status message window.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.influxtechnology.com/support_guides/dialog-user-guide/quick-start-guide/format-the-sd-card-of-the-rebel-data-logger..md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
