Preface
This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from the PPG3000 or
PPG3200 Series Programmable Pattern Generators or the PED3200 Series Programmable Error Detectors.
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 a
non functioning instrument.

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
