Be sure that all information stored by the user in the instrument that needs to be saved is properly backed up before attempting to clear any of the instrument memory. Keysight Technologies cannot be held responsible for any lost files or data resulting from the clearing of memory.
Instrument sanitization is typically required when an instrument is moved from a secure to a non- secure environment, such as when it is returned to the factory for calibration. Keysight memory sanitization procedures are designed for customers who need to meet the requirements specified by the US Defense Security Service (DSS). These requirements are specified in the “Clearing and Sanitization Matrix”...
Instrument Memory This section contains information on the types of memory available in your instrument. It explains the size of memory, how it is used, its location, volatility, and the sanitization procedure.

Read this entire document before using any sanitization procedure. Failure to do so may necessitate returning the instrument to an Authorized Keysight Service Center for firmware downloads and recalibration.
User and Remote Interface Security Measures Administrative Password To reset an instrument’s administrative password, follow the procedure in the AC6800A Operating and Service Guide. This involves removing power and other connections to the instrument, removing the instrument cover (requires tools), changing a switch position, and cycling power. The password never expires.
Firmware update regulation The user is allowed to update the instrument firmware. Follow the procedure in the AC6800A Operating and Service Guide. Depending on the combination of old and new firmware versions, user preference info and recall panel info may or may not be erased (not strictly sanitized), if the new layout of user's data is different than the old version.
Procedure for Declassifying a Faulty Instrument If the instrument is not functioning and you are unable to use the security functions, you must physically remove the processor board from the insstrument. Refer to the operating and service guide for disassembly instructions. Once the processor board is removed: 1.
