    摘要: A method for dynamic spiral ISR scheduling determines a dynamic delay with spiral to spiral spacing information of a disk, so as to ensure that the sum of a primary ISR time and a secondary ISR time does not exceed the wedge to wedge time. The ISR time may be scheduled to start after a delay for the sum of a static delay and the dynamic delay from an edge. A system for dynamic spiral ISR scheduling uses a dynamic delay determining unit to determine a dynamic delay, and an ISR scheduling unit to schedule the start of a secondary spiral set ISR based on a sum of the dynamic delay and a static delay.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for detecting an end of a reference spiral band are described. A first portion of servo information may be written on a disk using the reference spiral band. By detecting an end of a reference spiral band, a new reference spiral band may be launched. A read/write head of a hard disk drive may subsequently use the new spiral band to write the remaining portion of the servo information, which aids the writing of data tracks on the disk.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, are described for calibrating servos, and in some implementations for calibrating spiral servos for use in self servo write processes. In one aspect, a method is provided that includes measuring a slope of a spiral written to a machine readable medium, and adjusting a parameter in accordance with the measured slope to calibrate spacing of servo tracks, with respect to variation between a target slope and the measured slope for the spiral, for writing the servo tracks to the machine readable medium using the spiral as a reference and the adjusted parameter to generate a same radial spacing between servo tracks from spirals with different slopes.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for detecting an end of a reference spiral band are described. In some implementations, a band of spirals and servo information are written onto a storage medium. One or more characteristics associated with the band of spirals are determined. Then, one or more spirals of the band of spirals are identified as reference spirals based on the one or more determined characteristics. The writing of at least one of the band of spirals and the servo information is terminated upon identifying the one or more reference spirals.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for launching one or more reference spiral sets using different tracks are described. In some implementations, a method can be used that includes writing a first spiral set starting at a first track and determining a radial offset. Then a second track is determined based on the radial offset. A second spiral set is also written starting at the second track. A spiral set-to-wedge ratio is determined based on a number of spiral sets to be written. Subsequently, servo information can be written using the first spiral set and the second spiral set. The servo information can include one or more sets of servo wedges, which can be written based on the spiral set-to-wedge ratio.
