    摘要: A method for constructing and linearizing a position error signal (PES) derived from primary and quadrature servo burst pairs in an embedded servo disk drive. The construction method mathematically provides predetermined transition values at the commutation positions connecting adjacent PES segments so that the overall, indicated position signal is numerically continuous from segment to segment. The linearization method compensates for nonlinearity in the PES segments, and thereby in the indicated position signal, without affecting the predetermined transition values at all, or by modifying the predetermined transition values while maintaining continuity.

    摘要: A method of defining such a storage format in multiple data storage devices, each data storage device having a plurality of storage media and a plurality of corresponding data transducer heads, each transducer head for recording on and playback of information from a corresponding storage medium in at least one zone, wherein each zone includes a plurality of concentric tracks for recording on and playback of information. The method includes the steps of: selecting a plurality of said data storage devices; for each selected data storage device, measuring a record/playback performance capability of each head at one or more read/write frequencies per zone; based on said performance capability measurements, generating storage density distributions corresponding to at least a number of the heads in said selected data storage devices; selecting a group of read/write frequencies for said multiple data storage devices, two or more frequencies for each zone, based on said storage density distributions; and assigning one of said read/write frequencies to each head based on performance capability of that head.
