WITE32 Release Notes Version 3.11

 

 

 

3.5 Miscellaneous 

1.  If V2002 spinstand driver is unchecked during WITE32 installation, the error message “Failed to run 

‘C:\WITE32\DIME.EXE /regserver’ command” pops up at the end of the installation process.  

2.  The Head Amplifiers Connect and Head Amplifiers Disconnect operations do not do anything and do not provide 

any diagnostics if called from the WITE32 dashboard when the device is started. The proper error message 

"Head Amplifier can be disconnected only if a device is stopped. This operation should be used in a production 
sequence in ‘_ZOutside’ zone."

 is added.  

3.  No test results are reported and stored in the database during the 

Alternative Overwrite

 test execution in case 

when the 

Low Frequency 

parameter is selected as 

Fixed

, although the correct values are displayed on the graph.  

4.  The PWN Asymmetry test displays overflow message box intermittently when the signal amplitude from the 

head is small.  

5.  The Position Error Test result values 

PosErrL

 and

 PosErrR 

are swapped. 

6.  WITE32 crashes during TAA calibration in the production sequence if the calibration procedure is being 

repeated in a loop more than 100 times.  

7. The 

Track Profile

 test does not report any results (even the special –9999 values indicating the error) when the 

measurements fail.  

8.  Allocated sectored result memory in the read channel board for RWA-2000 series is smaller than on the RWA-

2585 and RWA-2550 families of testers. The allocated sectored result memory size is increased.   

9.  If the type or size of a field in a product database is changed, the product update procedure of WITE32 does not 

update the database correctly. 

10.  For some WITE32 tests, combo box control selection is done wrongly.  If two items in the list have the same 

prefix sub-string, only the first item can be selected.  For example, in a pattern selection combo box, if HFX 
pattern is added before HF pattern, HF pattern cannot be selected at all.  

11. In the 

Frequency

 test configuration dialog box, the boundary validation of the frequency is wrong (the 

From

 and 

To 

parameters). 

12.  An attempt to change the 

From

 or 

To 

parameters in the 

Relative Track Range

 frame of the 

Multitrack Critical 

Erase Current 

test in the Media Analysis Tests module (WGMA module) fails. The error message 

"Not a valid 

number"

 appears repeatedly, no matter what values are typed in and what the operator is doing after that –

attempting to restore the original settings or closing the configuration form.  

13. In the 

Control | System

 dialog box the bit cell and flux reversal fields may be displayed in red and green if the bit 

cell field contain decimal places.
