If the option to 'Continue (from LBA)' is selected, the utility will resume scanning from the LBA entered in the dialog.
If you interrupt the testing process, the utility will save in the profile data the LBA where the procedure was paused and
offer to resume it from that location the next time it is started.
The 'Take into account P-List' option must be selected if the drive has a valid P-List. If the P-List is corrupted (e.g.,
with erroneous data transferred from G-List) the option should be deselected.
The option 'At ambiguity hide "left" UNC' allows automatic handling of the situations when the algorithm cannot
reliably recognize the "fork" type because the area with translation deviation is preceded by some unreadable (UNC)
sectors (and so the algorithm cannot access their content for analysis).
The option to 'Process "32 byte tail" bug' prevents the utility from analyzing the last 32 bytes of each sector, which
some FW versions may misinterpret during reading in factory mode.
The option to 'Execute Reset after defect hiding' configures the utility to send a Soft Reset after each addition of defects
to the translator in order to update it.
In the dialog you can also define the file name for the list of "translation forks" where the scanning process will store
found nodes. If later a need arises to recalculate the translator considering P-List only, this list will allow you to restore
the initial translation by hiding the defects into the translator based on the file data.
The algorithm is automatic and requires operator participation only in cases when it cannot detect precisely the type of
node being hidden in the translator. In that case the utility will display a corresponding notification with a suggestion to
resolve the ambiguity manually
When the algorithm completes its work, the utility will display the list of found translation "forks".
IT SHOULD NOT
BE HIDDEN TO THE TRANSLATOR!
It is intended for two purposes
ONLY
: for your information and quick
restoration of the initial condition if for some reason translator recalculation based on P-List has been performed and
consequently the result of algorithm operation gets lost.
5.5.2.
A
utomatic location correction for a specific LBA
(
beginning with a certain
LBA)
This solution is available from the menu '
Tests → Service information → Work with service area → Translator →
Single LBA position adjustment'. When the procedure starts, you have to select the appropriate profile for the drive
being restored and check the restoration settings in the dialog displayed next.

Please remember while doing that to append the list of found nodes. The step will allow you to continue correct
automatic translator restoration later.
