4.4 Maintenance, Diagnostic Commands

c.Logical/physical address conversion

This parameter page specifies conversion of the address information expressed in either the "Logical Block Address," "Physical Sector Address" or "Byte Distance from the Index" format to another expression format. Table 4.53 shows this parameter page format. The INIT can specify the address information that should be converted in this parameter page of the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command, and can read the conversion results by the RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command (see Section 4.4.2 (2)).
