Preface

This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or

remove memory devices from the Tektronix AFG2000 Series Arbitrary Function

Generators.

All of these products have data storage (memory) devices. Some models have

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 arbitrary function generator models are covered by this

document:

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.

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.

AFG2000 Series Declassiﬁcation and Security Instructions iii

Preface

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. Thisisaphysicalmeanstoclearthedatabyremovingthememory

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.

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

Clear and sanitize procedures

Memory devices

The following tables list the volatile and nonvolatile memory devices in the

instrument. Detailed procedures to clear or sanitize these devices, if any, are

shown following each table.

Terminology The following terms are used in the tables in this section:

User data – Describes the type of information stored in the device. Refers to

waveforms or other measurement data representing signals connected to the

instrument by users.

User settings – Describes the type of information stored in the device. Refers

to instrument settings that can be changed by the user.

Both – Describes the type of informationstoredinthedevice. Itmeansthat

both user data and user settings are stored in the device.

None – Describes the type of information stored in the device. It means that

neither user data nor user settings are stored in the device.

Directly – Describes how data is modiﬁed. It means that the user can modify

the data.

Indirectly – Describes how data is modiﬁed. It means that the instrument

system resources modify the data and that the user cannot modify the data.

Clear and sanitize procedures

Clearorsanitize

instrument

UsethisSecurefunction to erase conﬁdential data from your instrument. This

procedure does not erase or change factory calibration constants.

1. Push the front-panel Utility button to display the Utility menu.

2. Push the System bezel button.

3. Push the Secure bezel button. The following message appears on the screen:

“The Secure function will erase all setups and waveforms stored in the

internal memory. Are you sure you want to execute secure function?”

4. Select OK to execute Secure. Secure does the following:

Erases all waveforms and stored setups in all user memories.

Replaces the current front-panel setup with the default factory setup

values.

Replaces the current GPIB and Ethernet settings with the default factory

settings for models with these ports.
