    摘要: Operations include compensating for a Tracking Error Signal (TES) offset in an optical tape drive. The tracking error offset compensation system detects a control signal for controlling movement of an optical head across a surface of a tape. The tracking error offset compensation system computes an estimated movement of the optical head, based on the initial control signal. The tracking error offset compensation system determines an estimated TES offset, based on the estimated movement of the optical head. The tracking error offset compensation system uses the estimated TES offset to correct a TES. The tracking error offset compensation system transmits the corrected TES, for controlling additional movement of the optical head.

    摘要: In one general embodiment, a method includes determining a sampling interval for an interpolator using at least one of: predefined data stored in memory, and a standard deviation of a position error signal. The method further includes applying the sampling interval to the interpolator in response to determining the sampling interval. In another general embodiment, an apparatus includes an interpolator and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a sampling interval for the interpolator using at least one of: predefined data stored in memory, and a standard deviation of a position error signal. The controller is also configured to apply the sampling interval to the interpolator in response to determining the sampling interval.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes determining a stopwrite threshold based on a standard deviation or a variance at a current position error signal sample, and determining whether the current position error signal sample exceeds the stopwrite threshold. Writing is disabled in response to determining that the current position error signal sample exceeds the stopwrite threshold. Writing is enabled in response to determining that the current position error signal sample does not exceed the stopwrite threshold.
