DSA8200 Declassification and Security
i
This document helps customers with data security concerns to clear or remove
memory devices from the DSA8200 and modules.
The DSA8200 mainframes contain an open architecture PC with removable hard
drive. All user storable data, such as waveforms, instrument settings, and screen
shots, are stored on the removable hard drive. The hard drive is located on the
rear panel. Remove the hard drive for storage or destruction. Additional hard
drives can be purchased from Tektronix.
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB
ports). These instructions tell how to clear or sanitize the memory devices and
disable the data output devices. The instructions also tell how to declassify an
instrument that is not functioning.

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 can be 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 have a “Standby” mode, in which power is
still supplied to the instrument. For the purpose of clearing data, putting the
instrument in Standby mode does not qualify as powering off. For these
products, you will need to either press a rear-panel OFF switch or remove the
power source from the instrument.
DSA8200 Declassification and Security
iii
Remove. This is a physical means to clear the data by removing the memory
device from the instrument. Instructions are available in the product Service
Manual.
Sanitize. This eradicates the data from media/memory so that the data cannot
be recovered by other means or technology. This is typically used when the
device will be moved (temporarily or permanently) from a secured area to a
non-secured area.
Scrub. This is equivalent to sanitize.
User-modifiable. The user can write to the memory device during normal
instrument operation, using the instrument interface or remote control.
Volatile memory. Data is lost when the instrument is powered off.

Nonvolatile Clear or
Sanitize Procedures
Check 80Cxx Modules User Wavelengths and Scales. Use the following procedure
to check if the 80Cxx module User Wavelength(s) and Scale(s) are set to the
factory defaults and to record information for later recovery.
1.
Power down the instrument and insert the optical module into the upper left
large slot. Note: the upper right large slot may also be used, adjusting the
channel parameter to CH3.
2.
Power up the instrument and wait for the oscilloscope application to become
active.
3.
From Table 3 for the applicable module(s), send each of the programmable
interface query commands to the instrument. Note that the 80C10 contains
two pairs of wavelengths and scales.
4.
If the user wavelength(s) and user scale(s) returned match the factory default
User Wavelength(s) or User Wavelength Scale(s), no further sanitize actions
are necessary.
5.
If either the user wavelength(s) or user scale(s) returned do not match the
factory default User Wavelength(s) or User Wavelength Scale(s), sanitizing
is necessary.
For recovery at a later time, first write down the User Wavelength(s) and
User Wavelength Scale(s), and store in a secure location.
Perform the procedure Sanitize 80Cxx Module to Factory Default Settings
for User Wavelength(s) and Scale(s).

Sanitize 80Cxx Modules to Factory Default Settings for User Wavelength(s) and
Scale(s). The following procedure provides instructions on how to sanitize
user wavelength(s) and scale(s) to return them to their factory defaults. It
is recommended that the previous Check 80Cxx Modules User Wavelengths
and Scales procedure be performed first so that the sanitize procedure is only
performed when necessary in order to reduce the risk of accidental corruption
of calibration data in the module. This procedure requires the use of one of
the programmable interfaces to the instrument (such as GPIB) and the use
of programmable interface commands. Connectivity and programmability
information is provided within the online help of the oscilloscope application.

Clear and Sanitize Procedures
How to Recover from Clearing 80Cxx Module Settings for User Wavelengths
and Scales
The following procedure provides instructions on how to recover user
wavelength(s) and scale(s) back to prerecorded user settings following a sanitize.
This procedure requires the use of one of the programmable interfaces to the
instrument (such as GPIB) and the use of programmable interface commands.
Connectivity and programmability information is provided within the online
help of the oscilloscope application.
1.
Power down the instrument and insert the optical module into the upper left
large slot.
NOTE. The upper right large slot may also be used, adjusting the channel
parameter to CH3.
2.
Power up the instrument and wait for the oscilloscope application to become
active.
3.
From Table 5 for all modules, send each of the programmable interface
commands to the instrument.
NOTE. The 80C10 contains two pairs of wavelengths and scales.
4.
After all commands for all applicable modules have been issued to the
instrument, send the command TEKPHW:CH1:EEPROMUPDT to the
instrument. Wait at least 30 seconds before performing any other instrument
command or operation (including powering off the instrument).
5.
Verify that the values match the pre-recorded values.

These products contain an open architecture PC with a removable hard drive. All
user storable data such as waveforms, instrument settings, and screen shots are

Remove the hard drive for storage or destruction. Additional hard drives can
be purchased from Tektronix.
A read / write CD drive is standard and located on the front panel. Remove all

(waveforms or instrument settings).
Turn off the power for at least 20 seconds to clear volatile memory.

modules (including all

The non-volatile memory in these products contains no waveform data, but
does contain a single user storable instrument parameter pair (User Wavelength,
composed of both a wavelength value, and an associated scale factor value).
The 80C10 product contains two pairs.
If the 80Cxx is nonfunctional, or if it is functional but there is no functional
host mainframe available to perform the following procedure, there is no
means available to clear wavelength(s) and scale factor(s) and set them to
factory defaults. In this case, destruction of the module is the only means
to sanitize it.
If the 80Cxx is functional and another host mainframe is available that also is
functional, perform the procedure Sanitize 80Cxx Module to Factory Default
Settings for User Wavelength(s) and Scale(s) located under the Clear and
Sanitize Procedures to sanitize user wavelength(s) and scale factor(s).
Turn off the power for at least 20 seconds to clear volatile memory.
