Clear and Sanitize Procedures
Memory devices
The following tables list the volatile and nonvolatile memory devices in the instrument and listed options. 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 o f information stored in the device. It means that 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.

Restore the OS and AWG
application
Use this procedure to clear the AWG waveform cache and last setup cache from your instrument. This procedure does not
erase or change factory calibration constants.
1.
In the toolbar, click the Reset to Default Setup button.
2.
Close the AWG application.
3.
Open the AWG application.
If your instrument is not functioning, proceed as follows.
1.
Remove the hard disk drive before returning the instrument for repair.
2.
Remove any attached USB flash drive before returning the instrument for repair.
Refer to your organization’s policies regarding storage or disposal of any removed items.
Use this procedure to restore the operating system and the AWG application on your instrument to the original factory
condition. This procedure does not erase or change factory calibration constants.
NOTE.
Recovery partition and the related data are not destroyed.)
The restore images remain, providing the ability to repeat the recovery process.
This utility reformats the hard disk drive during the restore process. All user data will be removed. (The Acronis
The Windows operating system provided is designed for this instrument's hardware and product software.
1.
Attach a keyboard to the instrument.
2.
Power on the instrument. During the boot-up process you will see the following message at the top of the screen:
Starting Acronis Loader...press F5 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager
3.
Repeatedly press the F5 key until the Acronis True Image Tool opens.
4AWG5200 Series Declassification and Security Instructions
There is a 15-second time period from when the message appears until the instrument proceeds with the normal
instrument startup. If the instrument does not open the Acronis application, power off the instrument, then power
on the instrument and try again.
4.
Within the Acronis TrueImage window, click Restore.
5.
In the Confirmation dialog box, click Yes to begin the restore the process, or No to exit.
6.
When fi nished, the AWG product software is the version shipped with your instrument. All upgrades or applications
installed after your purchase will have to be reinstalled.
Media storage and data export devices
The following table lists the media storage and data export devices in the instrument and listed options. Detailed procedures
to disable these devices, if any, are shown following the table.
