laser will not result in eye injury. Class 1 lasers may therefore be
considered eye safe.
Class II laser product
Class 2 lasers are limited to a maximum
output power of 1 mW. A person receiving an eye exposure from a
Class 2 laser, either accidentally or as a result of someone else's
deliberate action (misuse) will be protected from injury by their
natural blink reflex. This is a natural involuntary response which
causes the individual to blink and avert their head thereby
terminating the eye exposure.
D DLT
Digital Linear Tape technology is owned, developed, and
manufactured by Quantum Corporation. DLT tape drives use half-
inch wide tape. DLT 8000 tape drives record on 208 tracks
(uncompressed).
E Elements
SCSI designation for any device or bin in the library
that can hold a cartridge. SCSI elements include storage bins, tape
drives, load port bins, and the gripper.
EMI
Electro-Magnetic Interference refers to unwanted electrical
noise present on a power line. This noise may "leak" from the
power lines and affect equipment that isn't even connected to the
power line. Such "leakage" is called a magnetic field. Magnetic
fields are formed when unwanted noise voltages give rise to noise
currents. Such noise signals may adversely affect electronic
equipment and cause intermittent data problems.
ESD
Electro-Static Discharge
G Gripper
A mechanical component of the extension axis assembly
(robotics) which grips and holds a tape cartridge in transit
GUI
An ATL touch screen Graphical User Interface is made up of
bit-mapped graphics displays resembling tabs and buttons,
designed to act as the library’s main console for receiving
information and inputting commands.
H Host
The device or devices to which the library is connected.
