Recommended Usage in a Secure Environment

The Spectrum Master does not currently provide a secure erase feature. In environments
where data security is an issue, Anritsu Company recommends that you store your
Spectrum Master-created files on an external USB Flash drive that is then securely retained,
sanitized, or destroyed after use.
To set the Spectrum Master to save files to an external USB Flash drive:
1. Attach the external Flash drive and turn on the instrument.
2. Press the Shift button then the File (7) button.
3. Press the Directory Management submenu key.
4. Confirm that USB is underlined in the Current Location key image.
The external USB drive is now the default location for saving files.
