Instrument declassification
The term "instrument declassification" refers to procedures that must be undertaken
before an instrument can be removed from a secure environment, for example when
the instrument is returned for calibration. Declassification procedures include memory
sanitization or memory removal, or both. The declassification procedures described in
this document are designed to meet the requirements specified in DoD 5220.22-M,
"National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)", Chapter 8.

in the R&S
FSV/A
The R&S
FSV/A Signal and Spectrum Analyzers contain various memory components.
The following table provides an overview of the memory components that are part of
your instrument. For further information, refer to the subsequent sections.
