(b) Standard civil facsimile and video equipment designed to ensure the privacy of communications by an analogue transmission using non-standard practices for intended receivers only (video system equipment effecting the transposition of analogue data);
(c) Video systems for pay television and similar restricted audience television, including industrial and commercial television equipment using other than standard commercial sweep systems;
"Digital computers" and digital differential analysers (incremental computers) designed or modified for, or combined with, any cypher machines, cryptographic equipment, devices or techniques including "software", "microprogramme" control ("firmware") or specialized logic control (hardware), associated equipment therefor, and equipment or systems incorporating such computers or analysers are covered by this Item or Munitions List Item ML11.
Electronic equipment for testing, measuring (e.g., time interval measurement), calibrating or counting, or for microprocessor/microcomputer development, as follows, and specially designed "software" therefor:
(a) Equipment, as follows:
(1) Designed as reference frequency standards for laboratory use and having either of the following characteristics:
(i) A long-term drift (ageing) over 24 hours or more of 1 part in 1010 or better; or
(ii) A short-term drift (stability) over a period from 1 to 100 seconds of 1 part in 1012 or better;
(2) Designed for fixed ground or mobile use and containing frequency standard(s) having either of the following characteristics:
(i) A long-term drift (ageing) over 24 hours or more of 1 part in 1010 or better; or
(ii) A short-term drift (stability) over a period from 1 to 100 seconds of 1 part in 1012 or better;
(b) Instruments, as follows (see also Note 1 below):
(1) Instruments designed for use at frequencies exceeding 18 GHz;
(2) "Comb frequency generators" designed and rated for use at frequencies exceeding 12.5 GHz;
(3) Instruments designed for use at frequencies exceeding 1 GHz, as follows:
(i) "Swept-frequency network analyzers" for the automatic measurement of complex equivalent circuit parameters over a range of frequencies;
(ii) Specially calibrated microwave instrumentation receivers capable of measuring amplitude and phase simultaneously;
(iii) Automatic "frequency (heterodyne) converters" and "transfer oscillators";
(iv) Instruments in which the functions can be controlled by the injection of digitally-coded electrical signals from an external source;
(4) Instruments having both of the following characteristics:
(i) "User-accessible programmability"; and
(ii) A user-alterable "programme" and data storage of more than 65,536 bit;
Notes:
1. This sub-item does not embargo instruments, the "user-accessible programmability" of which is provided by, or with the legal agreement of, the original "manufacturer" and limited to:
(a) The replacement of fixed storage devices (e.g., ROMs) which do not change the embargo status of the instrument; or
(b) The selection of pre-programmed functions from a menu.
2. For the purposes of this Item, the "manufacturer" is the individual or organisation designing the instrument for the intended application (in contrast to an individual or organisation merely programming an instrument at, or in accordance with, a user's request).
