Clear and sanitize procedures
How to sanitize a working instrument
Sanitize means that all data in nonvolatile memory is changed or overwritten such that the original data is no longer in
memory, and that the data cannot be recovered using any known technology. You typically do a sanitize operation when you:
Turn the instrument over to another person or department
Move an instrument (temporarily or permanently) from a secured area to a nonsecured area
Send an instrument to Tektronix for calibration and/or repair
Sanitizing is done through commands on the instrument. To sanitize the instrument:
1.
Remove any USB memory devices from the instrument, and store or destroy the USB memory devices in accordance
with your organization’s guidelines.
2.
Clear the Network Configuration password (if set):
a.
Enter the instrument’s IP address into a Web browser on a PC that has network access to the instrument.
b.
