Terms
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.
Media storage/data export device. Any of several devices that are 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 h ave a “Standby” mode, in which power is
still supplied to the instrument. For clearing data, putting the instrument in
Standby mode does not qualify as powering off. For these products, you must
either push a rear-panel OFF switch or remove the power source from the
instrument.

device from the instrument. Instructions are a vailable in the product Service
