iiMTS400 Series Declassification and Security Instructions
Preface
This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove
memory devices from the MTS400 Series MPEG Test Systems.
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB
ports). 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.

Terms
The following terms may be used in this document:
Clear. This removes data o n 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.

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
in Standby mode does not qualify as powering off. F or 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 fr
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 non-secured
area.
Scrub. This is equivalent to sanitize.
User-modifiable. The user can write to the memory device during normal
instrument operation, using the instrument interface or remote control.
