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 of informationstoredinthedevice.Itmeansthatboth 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.

restores the Windows Operating System using the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. The Acronis software reinstalls the
operating system using restore images preinstalled on the hard drive.
Restoring the operating system reformats the hard disk drive. The product software and all user data will be lost.
Use the Internal recovery utility to restore the Windows Operating System. This method
This method retains the restore images, providing the ability to repeat the restore process. Factory calibration constants are
not affected.
1.
Attach the keyboard to the instrument.
2.
Restart 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. 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.
