4) SEEK & READ TEST
[Test condition setting]
Same as the above sequential read. The following setting is additionally
required.
• Sector count [0 ~ final sector]
The sector range to be tested is set.
1
Checking content
The sequential read for every one track is executed in the cylinder
range and the sector range set above. (in the direction of 0
3
inmost cylinder)
When the read test is completed in the set range, it is counted as 1
pass.
Before seeking, however, seek is made of the previous cylinder and
the following cylinder.
(Head movement)
When track N is read, the head moves as follows:
At
2
and
4
, read is executed.
In case of an error during the above test, a retry is repeated up to
the set number of retries. Everytime an error occurs a retry is per-
formed up to the set number of retries and, error logging is made.
Logging is made for HD and DRAM.
When the “Error Stop” is set in the test condition setting, and an
error occurs during the above test.
The error display is shown and the test is interrupted. Press the
space key to resume the test.
When the “Continue” is set, even if an error occurs, the error display
is made but the test is not stopped.
When “1 Pass” is set, a series of tests is made only once and the
test is stopped.

Display
Select the desired items at the position of @. (@ is not displayed on
the screen.)
(On the above screen, the thick figures are selected, and the thick
figure values are selected.)
On the above screen, when the pass count is counted up (when
point is counted up to the upper limit set in the cylinder range set-
ting, the pass count is counted up by 1.), and if the error counter of
all error items are not counted up (remaining as 00000), the test is
OK.
3
Terminating method
The methods to interrupt, resume, and terminate the test are the
same as (2) Sequential read.
5) TARGET SECTOR READ TEST
[Test conditions setting]
• Cylinder range [0 ~ inmost cylinder]
The cylinder range to be tested is set.
• Head count [0 ~ final head]
The head umber to be tested is set.
• Sector count [0 ~ final sector]
The sector number to be tested is set.
• Retry count [0 ~ 4]
Retry number incase of an error is set.
• Error stop/Continue/1 Pass
Selection is made among Error Stop/Continue/1 Pass in case of an
error.
• Test start ? [Yes/No]
Selection is made between Yes/No at test start.
1
Checking content
A read is made for the cylinder range, the head number, and the
sector number areas set in the above.
When the read test is completed in the set range, it is counted as 1
pass.
In case of an error during the above test, a retry is repeated up to
the set number of retries. Every time when an error occurs a retry is
performed up to the set number of retries, and error logging is made.
Logging is made for HD and DRAM.
When the “Error Stop” is set in the test condition setting, and an
error occurs during the above test, the error display is shown and
the test is interrupted. Press the space key to resume the test.
When the “Continue” is set, even if an error occurs, the error display
is made but the test is not stopped.
When “1 Pass” is set, a series of tests is made only once and the
test is stopped.
