Preface This document helps customers with data security concerns to clear orsanitize aTektronix 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer (LPD64) instrument with factory installed option 6-SEC. The instrument has data storage devices (memory and a removable mass storage drive) and data export interfaces (USB and Ethernet).
Preface About option 6-SEC NOTE. Option 6-SEC must be ordered at the same time you order an instrument. Option 6-SEC provides the highest level of instrument security for the LPD64. Option features include: Instrument hardware that is configured to easily declassify the instrument: The main system memory is easily removed without disassembling the instrument Data can only be saved to or read from a USB port on the instrument, a mounted network drive, or through the programmatic interface...
Preface 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.
