Letter of Volatility

If you have data security concerns, this document tells you how to clear or sanitize instrument memory devices

Terminology

The following terms may be used in this document:

 Clear: Removes data on media or in memory before reusing it in a secured area. Clears all reusable

memory to deny access to previously unsecured information.

 Demo setups: Demonstration applications that come loaded on the instrument; you cannot modify them.

 Direct method of modification: You can modify data directly.

 Erase: Equivalent to clear (see above).

 Indirect method of modification: The instrument system resources modify the data; you

cannot modify the data directly.

Model 2280 and 2281S Declassification and Security Instructions

 Instrument declassification: Procedures that must be completed before an instrument can be removed

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

 Media storage and data export device: 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 power is turned off.

 Protected user data area: Contains data that is protected by a password.

 Remove: Clears instrument data by physically removing the memory device from the instrument.

 Sanitize: Eradicates instrument data from media and memory so it 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 nonsecured area.

 Scrub: Directly retrieve and clear the contents of the memory device.

 User accessible: You can directly retrieve the contents of the memory device.

 User data: Measurement data that represents signals that you connect to the instrument.

 User modifiable: You can write to the memory device during normal instrument operation using the

front-panel interface or remote control.

 User settings: Instrument settings that you can change.

 Volatile memory: Temporary memory; data is lost when the instrument is turned off.

Description of memory

These instructions will work for all instruments listed in the products (on page 1) section above.

All Model 2280 and 2281S instruments contain the following volatile and nonvolatile memory:

 (8) 2 GB nonvolatile NAND FLASH chips

 (8) 128 KB volatile DDR2 SRAM chips
