3.3
Performance Characteristics
File performance is characterized by the following parameters:
Command Overhead
Mechanical Positioning
−
Seek Time
−
Latency
Data Transfer Speed
Buffering Operation
Note:
All the above parameters contribute to a file performance. There are other parameters which con-
tribute to the performance on the actual system. This specification tries to define the essential file character-
istics, not the system throughput which is dependent on the system and the application.
The following table gives a typical value of each parameter. The detail descriptions are followed in the next
sections.

3.3.1
Command Processing
Command overhead time is defined as the total time from when the command is received by the drive to the
start of motion of the actuator.
3.3.2
Average Seek Time (Including Settling)
Figure 6. Mechanical Positioning Performance
'Typical' and 'Max' are given throughout the performance specification by;
Typical
Average of the drive population tested at nominal environmental
and voltage conditions.
Max
Maximum value measured on any one drive over the full range of the environmental and
voltage conditions. (See section on Environment and D.C. Power Requirements.)
