and marker data),
modulation definitions, and
sweep lists
user–saved data The magnetic residue requires several rewrite
cycles or drive removal and destruction.
The hard disk is an option and is therefore
not installed in some instruments. If it is
installed, these files are stored on the hard
disk instead of in flash memory.
User data is completely sanitized when you
perform the Erase and Sanitize function.
