Preface

Products

This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from the listed products. These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB ports). These instructions tell you how to clear or sanitize the memory devices, and also tell you 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
https://www.tek.com/support
The following Tektronix products are covered by this document:
TBS1052C
TBS1072C

Required documents

TBS1102C
TBS1202C
To perform the procedures in this document, you will need to have access to the manuals listed below. These manuals are available on the Tektronix Web site at
https://www.tek.com/product-support.
TBS1000C Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope Service Manual (Tektronix part number, 077-1584-00).

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.
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.

Device terms

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.

Clear and sanitize procedures

Clear the flash memory

This procedure does not erase or change factory calibration constants.
1. Push the front panel DEFAULT SETUP button to recall the default setup.
2. Push the front panel SAVE/RECALL button.
3. Push the Action option (side bezel) button until Save Setup is selected.
4. Push the Save To option button until Setup is selected.
5. Push the Setup option button until 1 is selected.
6. Push the Save option button to overwrite setup 1 with the default setup.
7. Push the Setup and Save option buttons again to overwrite the next setup
with the default setup. Repeat this step until setup 1 is selected again.
8. Push the front panel CH 1 MENU button, and then push the Coupling option button until Ground is selected.
9. Push the front panel SAVE/RECALL button.
10. Push the Action option button until Save Waveform is selected. Push the
Save To option button until Ref is selected. Push the Source option button until CH1 is selected.
11. Push the To option button until RefA is selected. Push the Save option button to overwrite reference waveform RefA with the null waveform.
12. Push the To and the Save option buttons again to overwrite the next reference waveform with the null waveform. Repeat this step until reference RefA is selected again.
13. For TBS and TDS oscilloscopes, insert a USB flash drive into the USB Flash Drive port on the front of the oscilloscope. For TPS oscilloscopes, insert a compact flash card into the Compact Flash slot on the front of the oscilloscope.
14. Push the front panel UTILITY button.
15. Push the Options option button.
16. Push the Printer Setup option button.
17. Push the PRINT Button option until Saves Image To File is selected.
18. For TBS and TDS oscilloscopes, push the File Format option button until
JPG is selected. For TPS oscilloscopes, select BMP instead of JPG.
19. Remove any probes from the BNC front panel connectors.
