Preface

Products

This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from their instrument.
This series of instruments contains an open architecture PC with removable mass storage. You can order additional removable mass storage devices to swap in and out of the instrument as needed for security reasons.
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data export interfaces (USB ports, Ethernet, and eSATA). These instructions describe how to clear or sanitize the memory devices and disable the data output interfaces. The instructions also describe how to declassify an instrument that is not functioning.
The following Tektronix products are covered by this document:
TBS2072B
TBS2102B
TBS2202B
TBS2074B
TBS2104B
TBS2204B

Terms

The following terms may be used in this document:
Clear: This eradicates 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.
Media: Storage/data export device. A device that is used to store or export data from the instrument, such as a USB port/USB flash drive.
Sanitize: This removes the data from media/memory so that the data cannot be recovered using any known technology. This is typically used when the device will be moved (temporarily or permanently) from a secured area to a nonsecured area.
Scrub: This is equivalent to sanitize.
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.
User Accessible: User is able to directly retrieve the memory device contents.
User-Modifiable: The memory device can be written to by the user during normal instrument operation, using the instrument user interface or remote control.
Volatile memory: Data is lost when the instrument is powered off.
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 must either press a rear-panel OFF switch or remove the power source from the instrument.
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.

Clear and sanitize procedures

If your instrument is not functioning and you need to clear or sanitize it, proceed as follows:

Main board

Remove the Main board and return the product to Tektronix. A new main board will be installed, and the instrument will be repaired and adjusted as necessary.
For removal instructions, refer to the TBS2000B Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope Service Manual , part number 077-1150-XX, available on the Tektronix Web site at www.tek.com/manuals.
After removal of the main board, refer to your company's internal policies regarding storage or disposal of the board.

USB flash drive

Remove the USB flash drive and return the instrument to Tektronix for repair.
After removal of the USB flash drive, refer to your organization's internal policies regarding handling or disposal of the flash drive.

Charges

Replacement of any missing hardware will be charged according to the rate at the time of replacement.

TekSecure

TekSecure™ capability is present in TBS2000B oscilloscopes. Pressing TekSecure erases and overwrites all of the waveform and setup memories. The waveform memories, stored in nonvolatile memory, are overwritten with an "empty," all zeros pattern. The setup memories, stored in nonvolatile memory, are overwritten with the factory default front-panel setup. The current front-panel setup is also overwritten with the default factory setup.
Using TekSecure will not affect calibration of the instrument because the calibration constants are stored in another nonvolatile memory completely separate from any acquisition data. This allows complete erasure/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 area without the need for recalibration.

Memory devices

The following tables list the volatile and nonvolatile memory devices in the instrument.

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 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 or 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 NAND Flash data using TekSecure

Procedure to clear NAND Flash data using TekSecure:
1. Before doing TekSecure, save your user data into a USB thumb drive. See the following steps:
Press Save/Recall on the front panel.
Select Save Setup (bezel 1) , select Save to USB file (bezel 2), press Save (bezel 5), to save setup to USB.
Select Save Waveform (bezel 1), select Save to USB file (bezel 2), press
Save (bezel 5), to save waveform to USB.
2. Enter into Utility > Config > press Teksecure Erase Memory.
3. There will be a pop up menu of warning showing: "This procedure will erase
all nonvolatile RAM, All reference waveforms and save setups will be erased. Calibration constants will be retained. This will take approximately 3 minutes. Are you sure you want to erase?"
4. Press Yes. It will begin TekSecure, and after it finishes, it will reboot the instrument.
