Preface

Reference
This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from the Tektronix 3 Series MDO Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes.
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices. 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.
Instrument code and calibration settings reside in nonvolatile flash memory. Instrument setups and reference waveforms may also be stored in flash memory or on USB drives connected to the instrument.
If you have any questions, contact the Tektronix Technical Support Center at www.tektronix.com/support.
The procedures in this document are written to meet the requirements specified in:
NISPOM, DoD 5220.22–M, Chapter 8
Products
Required documents
SFO Process Manual for Certification & Accreditation of Classified Systems under NISPOM
The following Tektronix products are covered by this document:
MDO32
MDO34
To perform the procedures in this document, you might need access to the 3 Series MDO manuals listed below. These manuals are available on the Tektronix Web site at www.tektronix.com/downloads.
3 Series MDO Service Manual (Tektronix part number, 077-1500-xx)
3 Series MDO Technical Reference Manual (Tektronix part number, 077-1499-xx)
Terms used in this document
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.
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. This is a physical means to clear the data by removing the memory device from the instrument. Instructions are available in the product Service Manual.
Device terms
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. 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.
The following terms are used with the memory devices in this document:
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 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.

Built-in security features

When to use TekSecure

Use the TekSecure function to erase setup and reference waveform data stored in internal flash memory. Using TekSecure will not affect the calibration of the instrument because the calibration constants are stored on the Acquisition board, completely separate from any acquisition data. This allows complete erasure or removal of any secure data without affecting the oscilloscope calibration. It also allows the oscilloscope to be calibrated in a non-secure site and then used in a secure site without the need for recalibration.
The 3 Series MDO oscilloscopes has USB host ports: located at the lower right corner of the front panel, and on the rear panel. Any USB flash devices can be removed and stored or destroyed.
The TekSecure function does the following:
Replaces all waveforms in all reference memories with null sample values
Replaces the current front-panel setup and all stored setups with the default setup values
Calculates the checksums of all reference waveform memory and setup memory locations to verify successful completion of waveform and setup erasure
Displays a dialog indicating whether the secure erase was successful or unsuccessful
NOTE. TekSecure does not erase or change factory calibration constants or Ethernet settings.
3 Series MDO Declassification and Security Instructions 11
Built-in security features

Use TekSecure to erase memory contents

To use TekSecure, do the following:
1. Tap Utility and then select Security.
2. Tap Run TekSecure button. Wait for the “TekSecure operation complete”
dialog box to display.
3. Tap outside the menu to close the dialog box.
4. Power off the oscilloscope, and then power it back on to complete the
process.
To reset the instrument RAM, do the following:
1. Power off the instrument for at least 20 seconds.
2. Power on the instrument.
