Table 5 View Library Options (continued)

Option

Description

Drive and Slot Numbering

Lets you specify whether SCSI elements in the library displays

 

with either zero based or one based. Note that this only affects

 

the GUI touch screen, not the actual SCSI element addresses. The

 

default is Zero Based.

 

 

Library Mode

Lets you set the robotics operating mode to Random, Sequential

 

Drv0, Sequential Drv n (two or more drives), or Sequential Split.

 

Sequential Drive n and Sequential Split require two or more

 

drives in the library. Sequential mode is not available with

 

multi-module configurations. The default is Random.

 

 

Sequential Mode

Sequential Mode is locally controlled. Sequential operations

 

begin with any cartridge loaded into Drive 0. The library

 

monitors the drive status, and when the host unloads a cartridge

 

from the drive, it returns the cartridge to the magazine, and then

 

loads the next cartridge in magazine numerical order. This

 

operation continues until all cartridges have been loaded, or

 

until an empty slot is encountered. Two options are available:

 

Normal (same as Library Mode above) and Recirculate. Instead

 

of stopping after the cartridge in the last slot for the drive has

 

been unloaded by the host, Recirculate mode continues the

 

operation by loading the first cartridge for the drive.

 

Recirculation will continue until an empty slot is encountered, or

 

the operator unloads the tape using the GUI touch screen.

 

 

LCD Contrast Adjust

The LCD contrast controls let you increase or decrease the

 

contrast of the LCD display. The incremental steps are set by

 

adjusting the LCD Contrast Adjust option from the Library option.

 

Incremental steps can range from 0 to 31 depending on your

 

preference. The default is 16.

 

 

Mail-Slot Mode

Lets you enable or disable the mail slot(s) in a library. For the

 

two-drive models, the default is Mail Slot Enabled. For the

 

four-drive models, the default is Both Mail Slots Enabled.

 

 

Barcode Label Size

Lets you limit the length of the bar code label. Possible settings

 

are 1 through 8. The default is 8.

 

 

Barcode Label Assignment

Lets you specify the alignment of a bar code label. The options

 

are Left or Right. When used in conjunction with the Barcode

 

Label Size option, this option strips unwanted trailing characters

 

(left alignment) or leading characters (right alignment). The

 

default is Left Align.

 

 

Barcode Label Check Digit

Lets you specify whether to enable or disable the verification of a

 

check digit character in the bar code label. The default is

 

Disabled.
