110 Agilent N5181A/82A MXG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference
System Commands
System Subsystem (:SYSTem)
:SECurity:LEVel
Supported All Models
:SYSTem:SECurity:LEVel NONE|ERASe|OVERwrite|SANitize
:SYSTem:SECurity:LEVel?
This command selects the security level operation for the signal generator.
NONE This selection causes the signal generator to reset to factory default settings.
ERASe This selection removes all user files, table editor files, flatness correction files, and
baseband generator files.
OVERwrite This selection removes all user files, table editor files, flatness correction files, and
baseband generator files. The memory is then overwritten with random data.
SANitize This selection removes all user files, table editor files, flatness correction files, and
baseband generator files using the same techniques as the OVERwrite selection for
SRAM and flash memory. For the hard disk, the signal generator 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 to arm
the security level. The selected level of security operation will be executed after reboot.
NOTE Once you select a security level and arm it, you cannot change the level.
For other cleaning and security operation descriptions, see “:SECurity:ERASeall” on page 109,
“:SECurity:OVERwrite” on page 111, and “:SECurity:SANitize” on page 111. For more information
about security functions, refer to the N5181A/82A Agilent MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide.
