Overview

It is often imperative that R&S

 

ZVH Cable and Antenna Analyzers are used in a

secured environment. Generally these 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. Security concerns can arise when devices need to
leave a secured area, e.g. to be calibrated or serviced.

This document describes the types of memory and their usage in the R&S

 

ZVH. It pro-

vides a statement regarding the volatility of all memory types and specifies the steps
required to declassify an instrument through memory clearing or sanitization proce-
dures. These sanitization procedures are designed for customers who need to meet
the requirements specified by the US Defense Security Service (DSS).
