What the Measurement Means
This test reports the writing response of the Plextor PX-712UF drive.
The graph should display a smooth linear curve up to the limit of the
disc capacity. If the curve is not linear or smooth, repeat the test with
another piece of media or media from a different vendor. Most write
transfer failures are caused by poor quality media or media that is not
rated for the maximum speed of the drive.
Measuring Q-Check C1/C2/CU Errors
This function reports on the C1, C2, and CU errors on the current CD in
the Plextor PX-712UF drive. This test is for use on a CD that contains
content—that is, a commercial pressed CD or a CD recorded on a CD-
R/RW drive. (It’s not for DVD discs.)
To measure C1/C2/CU error:
1. Place a pressed CD-ROM disc, or a recorded CD-R or CD-RW disc,
in the PX-712UF.
2. From the PlexTools menu bar, select Q-Check C1/C2 Test. You see
the Q-Check window with a graph for C1, C2, and CU errors.
