FEh

 

The Automatic Data Transfer Timeout (ADTT) field indicates an automatic data transfer

 

 

 

 

timeout value in 200ms increments with 00h representing an initial 200ms timeout; i.e.,

 

 

 

 

actual_timeout = 200ms + (selected_timeout_value*200ms). For example, a value of 01h

 

 

 

 

indicates automatic data transfers will timeout in 400ms; i.e., 200ms + (1*200ms) = 400ms.

 

 

 

 

The ADTT is calculated in 200ms increments for values of 00h to FEh in the ADTT field.

 

 

 

 

The ADTT value of FFh indicates a timeout of 2 minutes.

 

 

 

 

If a value of 00h or 01h is set in this field (200ms or 400ms timeouts respectively), the

 

 

 

 

Retry Buffer Retries is automatically disabled.

 

 

 

 

The ADTT is active only during the data phases (DATA-IN/DATA-OUT) while transferring

 

 

 

 

data blocks between the initiator and the target using commands such as READ, READ

 

 

 

 

REVERSE, WRITE, etc. The ADTT is not active for manual data transfers such as

 

 

 

 

REQUEST SENSE DATA, LOG SENSE DATA, MODE SENSE DATA, etc.

 

 

 

 

The ADTT field is reported as changeable on a MODE SENSE command and the default

 

 

 

 

value is FEh.
