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
informatio
n by standard means of acces s.
Demo setups. These setups come loaded in the instrument, and cannot be
modified by
the customer.
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.
Declass
ification procedures include memory sanitization and memory
removal, and sometimes both.
Media s
torage/data export device. Any of several devices that can be used
to store or export data from the instrument, such as a USB port.
Nonvo
latile memory. Data is retained when the instrument is powered off.
Power off. Some instruments have a “Standby” mode, in which power is
l supplied to the instrument. For the purpose of clearing data, putting the
stil
instrument in Standby mode does not qualify as powering off. For these
products, you will need to remove the power source from the instrument.
Protected user data area. Contains data that is protected by a password.
ove. This is a physical means to clear the data by removing the memory
Rem
device from the instrument. Instructions are available in the product Service
Manual.
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
nonsecured area.
Scrub. The user is able to directly retrieve the memory device contents.
User-modifiable. The 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.
