EEPROM Electronically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An
integrated circuit memory chip that can store programs and data
in a non-volatile state. These devices, which are used to store
firmware in DLT and SDLT drives, can be erased and
reprogrammed with new data.
EIM Electronic Interface Module. The SDLT EIM consists of two
major boards – the Integrated Controller Module (ICM) board
and a separate Host Interface Module (HIM) board.
Encoding (n.) Characters (or bytes) of information converted to magnetic
patterns on the media. (v.) The process of converting to the
desired pattern.
EOD End of Data. Location on tape where the last session stopped.
EOM or EOT End of Media or End of Tape. Logical EOM allows space to
complete a write operation; physical EOM signifies that the tape
is completely used.
Erase The removal of data from a piece of media.
Error A message that occurs when there is a loss of ability to interpret
recorded data. Usually due to magnetic issues or defects in or on
the media.
ESD Electrostatic discharge. A sudden discharge of electrostatic
energy that can damage delicate electronic circuitry.
FCC Federal Communications Commission.
Firmware Permanent or semi-permanent instructions and data programmed
directly into the circuitry of a programmable read-only memory
or electronically-erasable programmable read-only memory
chips. Used for controlling the operation of the computer or tape
device. Distinct from software, which is stored in random access
memory and can be altered with ease.
