Test Name

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

PLUNGE FULL

Allows the cartridge transport mechanics to run at full speed. This setting should

 

 

SPD

always be used under normal library operations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PLUNGE 1/2 SPD

Used by service personnel only. Allows the cartridge transport mechanics to run

 

 

 

at half speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SENSOR

Tests the horizontal path that the cartridge transport mechanism follows when

 

 

TRANSLATE

moving from one stack of tape cartridges to another. Displays ON or OFF. If OFF

 

 

 

displays, the sensor is block. (This display is automatically updated if the sensor

 

 

 

status change.) Requires the use of one tape cartridge.

 

 

 

Library

 

 

 

SENSOR

The displays shows M1 1 M2 1 M3 1. Each “1” indicates that the caddy is in

 

 

 

MAGAZINE

place. If a “0” is displayed, the caddy has not been inserted into the library. (This

 

 

 

display is automatically updated if the sensor status changes.)

 

Operation

 

 

 

SENSOR

The display shows 0 0.

 

 

 

STARWARS

Each “0” indicates one of the paths that the cartridge transport mechanism

 

 

 

 

 

 

follows in front of each stack of tape cartridges. If the path is clean, a 0 displays;

 

 

 

if the path is blocked (because of a cartridge that is not inserted fully into its

 

 

 

storage slot for example), an * will be displayed. (This display is automatically

 

 

 

updated if the sensor status changes.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

VERTICAL

Moves the cartridge transport mechanism down, moves it back up a short

 

 

ENCODER

distance, then moves it back down. The last time the transport mechanism is

 

 

 

moved down the number of encoder counts is verified. Returns PASS/FAIL. No

 

 

 

tape cartridges are required.
