About Tektronix oscilloscopes NIST USGCB compliance
NIST USGCB compliance
Tektronix oscilloscopes are compatible with the security configuration for Information Technology
products specified in the United States Government Configuration Baseline ( USGCB) settings for
Windows 7 and
Internet Explorer.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) USGCB baseline operating system security
requiremen
ts (Version 1.1.x) were implemented and tested on our oscilloscopes. The oscilloscopes passed
the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) tests. Our oscilloscopes operate with the USGCB
security settings implemented.
NOTE. Since the USGCB turns off the ISS server, LXI Class C compliance does not work with this data
security standard.
As shipped from the factory, your oscilloscope has none of the USGCB security settings implemented.
Making your oscilloscope compliant
To put their oscilloscope in a USGCB compliant state, follow instructions from the NIST Web site.Click
on the Content and then Microsoft Content links. Implement the settings in the GPO files found on the site.
After
implementing all of the settings, r un the SCAP tool to verify compliance.
Restoring your oscilloscope to its factory state
To back out of the USGCB compliant state a nd restore the oscilloscope to its factory condition, follow the
Operating System R estore procedures for your instrument. See you user manual.
