How do I declassify or sanitize my 1670G-series logic analyzer?

Some test equipment users have a need to "declassify" or "sanitize" their instruments for security purposes. This involves following a procedure that clears all user data from the instrument´s memory. The result is a sanitized instrument that can be removed from a secure area without any chance of classified data being recovered from it.

Follow the procedure below to ensure that your logic analyzer no longer contains any user configurations or data.

This procedure applies to all of the following logic analyzer models:

1670G, 1671G, 1672G, 1673G

Note that the procedure does not apply to the 1670A, 1670D, or 1670E family of logic analyzers.

1. Remove all signals from the logic probes, scope probes, and pattern generator inputs.
2. If there is a disk in the floppy drive, remove it. Place the disk in a secure area or destroy it.
3. Press the System button.
4. Bring up the IP address settings for the X Window function by clicking on X Window Settings.
5. Enter a non-secure or random value in the IP address field of this window and press Done.
6. Click LAN Settings and then Factory Settings. This will recall the factory default LAN settings and then reboot the instrument.
7. Remove the hard disk drive and place it in a secure area or destroy it. For detailed instructions, refer to page 168 of 1670G-Series Logic Analyzer Service Guide
8. To make the instrument functional again, replace the hard drive. The part number for a new hard drive that contains the 1670-series operating system is 01670-83525. For parts pricing and availability, please call 877-447-7278 or visit: Find-A-Part
