Security of Keysight Signal Generators

Instrument Security

To protect sensitive data, it is important for signal generator users to understand the generator’s features. There are three main areas which must be considered when determining appropriate security measures in relation to the generator’s use. 

 

Storage media

Storage media, or memory for user information, can be categorized into two groups: explicit and implicit. Explicitly stored information consists of data enter by the user. Implicitly stored information includes items such as IQ calibration data, user flatness, table editor files, and last state information. This information is stored in various memory devices within the signal generator. Understanding the memory devices used within the signal generator enables users to define best-practice security measures for their application needs.
