Overview

In many cases it is imperative that R&S®UPV, R&S®UPV66, R&S®UPP200, R&S®UPP400 or
R&S®UPP800 audio analyzers can be used in a secured environment. Generally these highly
secured environments will not allow any test equipment to leave the area unless it can be
proven that no user information will leave with the test equipment. Security concerns can arise
when audio analyzers need to leave a secured area to be calibrated or serviced.

In the following the types of memory and their usage in the R&S®UPV, R&S®UPV66,
R&S®UPP200, R&S®UPP400 or R&S®UPP800 audio analyzers is described. It also addresses
methods of ensuring that no user data will leave the secured area if the product has to be
removed for calibration or service needs.

Instrument Models Covered

R&S®Audio Analyzer

In the following document, as instrument it is always referred to the R&S®UPV while the
information is valid for all models covered. If there are some special points for one specific
instrument, it is given and stated clearly.

Battery Information

The only battery used on the R&S®UPV is located on the CPU board. This battery is used
exclusively for powering the real-time clock in the chipset and the CMOS-SRAM memory. The
CMOS-SRAM memory is used only to store the BIOS setup.

The CMOS-SRAM is not a security concern.
