In addition, the Agilent E5022/E5023 can create a micro track. Measuring a track profile 
using the micro track function allows the read head width to be calculated.

Also, the Agilent E5022/E5023 can measure the D.C. resistance (DC-R) of the head. The 
spinstand interface module measures this parameter.
