Instrument Sanitize

This procedure is not recommended for use in routine applications because of the possibility of unin-

tended loss of data.

This procedure is typically used to prepare the instrument for removal from a secure area. It writes all zeros to flash

memory and then performs a full chip erase as per the manufacturer’s data sheet. Identification data such as instru-

ment firmware, model number, serial number, MAC address, and calibration data is not erased. After the data is

cleared, the instrument is rebooted.

If you cannot access the Admin menu, it may be password protected.
