218 Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz
7 System Commands
:SYSTem:SECurity:LEVel NONE|ERASe|OVERwrite|SANitize
:SYSTem:SECurity:LEVel?
Selects the security level operation for the signal generator.
NONE Causes the N8211A/N8212A to reset to factory default settings.
ERASe Removes all user files, table editor files, and flatness correction files.
OVERwrite This selection removes all user files, table editor files, and flatness correction
files. The memory is then overwritten with random data.
SANitize Removes all user files, table editor files, and flatness correction files using the
same techniques as the OVERwrite selection for SRAM and flash memory. For the hard
disk, the N8211A/N8212A overwrites all addressable locations with a single character, its
complement, and then with a random character.
Once you select the security level, you must execute the command from
“:SECurity:LEVel:STATe" on page 218 to arm the security level.
For other cleaning and security operation descriptions, see “:SECurity:ERASeall" on
page 217, “:SECurity:OVERwrite" on page 219, and“:SECurity:SANitize" on page 219.
Example
:SYST:SEC:LEV NONE
The example sets the secure mode so it resets the signal generator to factory settings after
completing the security operation.
:SECurity:LEVel:STATe
Supported All
SRAM All addressable locations will be overwritten with random
characters.
Hard Disk All addressable locations will be overwritten with random
characters.
Flash Memory The flash blocks will be erased.
NOTE
Once you select a security level and arm it, you cannot change the level.
