Diagnostic Test Number (43h)

Loopcount

(MSB)

Number of Frames

(LSB)

Table 7-8: Read Data Exerciser Parameters

Number of Frames: The drive will read the number of frames specified in this field.

Execution Time: Number of frames x loopcount x7ms (Maximum 90 minutes,120m)

Table 7-9: Read Data Exerciser Result

The results message will contain the number of loops executed during the test.
This test will result in a loss of logical tape position and therefore a load should be sent before the drive is used for any normal
reads or writes.
