    摘要: A method is provided for writing a servo-pattern on a storage medium. According to the method, first timing marks are written at a first radial position of the storage medium, and the head is moved to a second radial position. Time intervals between selected pairs of the first timing marks are measured, and other timing marks are written at the second radial position of the storage medium. The measuring step is performed after the moving step. In one preferred method, the steps of moving, measuring, and writing other timing marks are repeated until the servo-pattern is written on an entire surface of the storage medium. A method is also provided for generating an initial aligned pattern of timing marks for self-servo-writing on a storage medium.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for measuring dynamic head and track misregistration in, for example, a magnetic disk file. A reference signal waveform is recorded onto a track on a recording medium. The track has a center line and an off-center line parallel to the center line. The recorded reference signal waveform is read a plurality of times with the transducer centered approximately above the off-center line of the track to produce a plurality of off-track playback signal waveforms. A track misregistration signal waveform is produced by computing the difference between one off-track playback signal waveform and the average off-track playback signal waveform.

    摘要: Improvements in placement of timing patterns in self-servowriting include correcting for systematic errors due to geometric effects. A correction is made for varying systematic errors, such as when the recording head has spatially separate read and write elements. Further, servopattern rotation due to residual or unmeasured systematic errors is reduced by using a once per revolution clock index derived from the motor drive current waveform or any other sensor. In one aspect of correcting for systematic errors in the writing of timing patterns on a storage medium of a storage device, a time interval between a trigger pattern written at a first radial position of the storage medium and a rotational index is measured. The rotational index is related to the rotational orientation of the storage medium with respect to a fixed frame of the storage device. The location of another trigger pattern to be written is shifted, using the measured time interval to determine the shift in location for the another trigger pattern.

    摘要: A method for writing timing marks on a rotatable storage medium, such as on a disk in a disk drive, includes the steps of: 1) during a rotation of the disk, detecting the passage of at least a portion of a first timing mark located at a first radius of the disk, and 2) writing a second timing mark at a second radius of the disk, the location of the second timing mark being based at least in part on a stored calculation of a delay from the time of passage of the first timing mark during a rotation of the rotatable storage medium. The location of the second timing mark is calculated based on alternative time intervals between detected timing marks and on various functions of the time intervals.

    摘要: During a write revolution of a storage medium, a transition is written on the storage medium while servoing on another transition previously recorded on the storage medium. During that write revolution, a position error signal corresponding to the position error of the transducer relative to the previously recorded transition is determined. That position error signal is then stored, during the write revolution, to be used in computing a reference track value associated with the transition being written to correct for the position error. Additionally, a product servo-pattern is written, which includes an embodying of the position error therein.
