4.5 Self-calibration
To compensate torque constant value change depending on cylinder, whole cylinders from most inner to most outer cylinder are divided into 13 partitions at calibration in the factory, and the compensation data is measured for representative cylinder of each partition. This measured value is stored in the SA area. The compensation value at
4.5.2 Execution timing of self-calibration
That is,

•
When it passes from the power on for about 10 seconds except that the disk drive shifts to Idle mode, Standby mode, and Sleep mode by execution of any commands.
The number of retries to write or seek data reaches the specified value.
The error rate of data reading, writing, or seeking becomes lower than the specified value.
4.5.3 Command processing during self-calibration
This enables the host to execute the command without waiting for a long time, even when the disk drive is performing
When the error rate of data reading, writing, or seeking becomes lower than the specified value,
If the disk drive receives a command execution request from the host while performing
If the error rate recovers to a value exceeding the specified value,
