Instrument Sanitize
This procedure is not recommended for use in routine applications because of the
possibility of unintended loss of data.
Sanitize removes all user-data from the instrument and restores the factory-shipped settings. Refer to
Non-Volatile Settings for a list of the factory settings.
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 instrument 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.

Turn-on After Sanitization
The first time the unit is turned on after it has been sanitized, several NVRAM checksum errors will be
generated. These errors annunciate the fact that two files were missing, which have been recreated
with default values. The next time the unit tuns on, there should be no errors.
