Preface
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.
Remove.
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 memory device can be written to by the user during normal instrument operation, using the instrument’s user interface or remote control.
Volatile memory.
Data is lost when the instrument is powered off.

Built-In Security Features
The AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators have the following security functions:
Secure
Access Protection
Secure
To erase confidential data from your AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function
Generators, use the Secure function. This procedure does not erase or change factory calibration constants.
1.
Push the front-panel Utility button to display the Utility menu.
2.
Push the System bezel button.
3.
Push the Secure bezel button. The following message appears on the screen:
The Secure function will erase all setups and waveforms stored in the internal memory. Are you sure you want to execute secure function?
4.
Select OK to execute Secure. Secure does the following:
Erases all waveforms and stored setups in all user memories
Replaces the current front-panel setup with the default factory setup values
Replaces the current GPIB and Ethernet settings with the default factory settings.
Access Protection
To protect calibration data and the instrument firmware, follow these steps:
1.
Push the front-panel Utility button to display the Utility menu.
2.
Push the -more- bezel button twice.
3.
Push the Security Menu bezel button.
4.
Select Access Protection to display the password input page.
5.
Enter your password. Use the general purpose knob to select the characters and push the Enter Character bezel button after each selection.
As you enter the characters of your password, they are displayed as a series of asterisks (*******) on the password input page.
If no specific password has been previously defined, use the default password
DEFAULT.

Troubleshooting
How to Clear or Sanitize a Non-Functional Instrument
If your instrument is not functioning and you need to clear or sanitize it, proceed as follows:
CPU Board
Remove the CPU board and return the product to Tektronix. A new CPU board will be installed, and the instrument will be repaired and adjusted as necessary.
For removal instructions, refer to the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function
Generators Service Manual
, part number 071-1640-XX, available on the Tektronix
Web site at www.tektronix.com/manuals.
After removal of the CPU board, refer to your company’s internal policies regarding handling or disposal of the board.
USB Memory Device
Remove any attached USB memory device from the instrument before returning the instrument for repair.
After removal of the USB memory device, refer to your company's internal policies regarding handling or disposal of the memory device.
Charges
Replacement of any missing hardware will be charged according to the rate at the time of replacement.
How to Recover from Clearing or Sanitizing the Instrument’s Memory
If you removed the CPU board in order to clear or sanitize your instrument, you need to reinstall the board and perform the specified adjustment procedures to verify that the instrument is in the proper condition. For adjustment procedures, refer to the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Service Manual, part number 071-1640-XX.
