1 Overview Securing important information is crucial in many applications. In many cases, it is imperative that the R&S ZNH instruments are used in a secured environment. Generally, highly secured environments do not allow any test equipment to leave the area unless it can be proven that no user information leaves with the test equipment, e.g.

® Security Terms and Definitions R&S Media Media are types of non-volatile memory components. Media are user-accessible and retain data when you turn off power. In the context of this document, media types are Hard Disk Drives (HDD), Solid State Drives (SSD), Memory Cards, e.g.
R&S Non-Volatile Memory 4 Statement of Volatility The R&S ZNH contains various memory components. See the subsequent sections for a detailed description regarding type, size, usage and location. Notes on memory sizes Due to the continuous development of memory components, the listed values of mem- ory sizes may not represent the current, but the minimal configuration.
