Tektronix BERTScope BSA Series Declassiﬁcation and Security Instructions v

Preface

This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from the Tektronix

BERTScope BSA Series Bit Error Rate Analyzers.

These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB ports). These instructions tell how to

clear or sanitize the memory devices and disable the data output devices. The instructions also tell how to declassify an

instrument that is not functioning.

Reference The procedures in this document are written to meet the requirements speciﬁed in:

NISPOM, DoD 5220.22–M, Chapter 8

ISFO Process Manual for Certiﬁcation & Accreditation of Classiﬁed Systems under NISPOM

Products The following Tektronix products are covered by this document:

BSA85C

BSA125C

BSA175C

BSA260C

BSA286C

Terms The following terms may be used in this document:

Clear. This removes data on media/memory before reusing it in a secured area. All reusable memory is cleared to

deny access to previously stored information by standard means of access.

Erase. This is equivalent to clear.

vi Tektronix BERTScope BSA Series Declassiﬁcation and Security Instructions

Preface

Instrument declassiﬁcation. A term that refers to procedures that must be undertaken before an instrument can be

removed from a secure environment. Declassiﬁcation procedures include memory sanitization and memory removal,

and sometimes both.

Media storage/data export device. Any of several devices that can be used to store or export data from the

instrument, such as a USB port.

Nonvolatile memory. Data is retained when the instrument is powered off.

Power off. Some instruments have a “Standby” mode, in which power is still supplied to the instrument. For the

purpose of clearing data, putting the instrument in Standby mode does not qualify as powering off. For these products,

you will need to either press a rear-panel OFF switch or remove the power source from the instrument.

Remove. This is a physical means to clear the data by removing the memory device from the instrument. Instructions

are available in the product Service Manual.

Sanitize. This eradicates the data from media/memory so that the data cannot be recovered by other means or

technology. This is typically used when the device will be moved (temporarily or permanently) from a secured

area to a non-secured area.

Scrub. This is equivalent to sanitize.

User accessible. User is able to directly retrieve the memory device contents.

User-modiﬁable. The user can write to the memory device during normal instrument operation, using the instrument

interface or remote control.

User-modiﬁable. The user can write to the memory device during normal instrument operation, using the instrument

interface or remote control.

Volatile memory. Data is lost when the instrument is powered off.
