Generic Log Parameter-Field Descriptions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A code which uniquely identifies each parameter on a given Log Page. For

 

 

example, the code 8002h on the Seek Performance Summary page reports

Parameter(KGNFCode

 

the average seek time while the&GUETKRVKQPsame code on the Block Replacement Sum-

 

 

mary page reports the number of blocks replaced.

 

 

The following pages in this manual contain the lists of applicable parameters

 

 

for each Log page.

 

 

 

 

 

DU

 

Disable Update. This parameter is 1 when updates are not enabled.

 

 

 

DS

 

Disable Save. This parameter is 1 when parameters are not saved by the

 

drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TSD

 

Target Save Disable. This parameter is 0 indicating that the drive provides

 

target-specific way of saving parameters.

 

 

 

 

 

ETC

 

Enable Threshold Comparison. This parameter is always 0. The drive does

 

not use thresholds for any of its parameters.

 

 

 

 

 

TMC

 

Threshold Met Comparison. This parameter is always 0. The drive does not

 

use thresholds for any of its parameters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

List in Binary. This bit only valid if LP = 1. If LP = 1 and LBIN = 0, then

LBIN

 

the List Parameter is a string of ASCII graphic codes (code values 20h

 

through 7Eh). If LP = 1 and LBIN = 1, then the parameter is a list of binary

 

 

 

 

information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

List Parameter. When 0, indicates that the parameter value for this param-

LP

Tableeter5is-50a numeric

When LP is a 1, it indicates that the parameter value

 

is an alphanumeric ASCII-string

 

 

 

 

 

 

This parameter is always 0.

NKUV￿￿

 

 

 

Parameter Length

 

Specifies the length, in bytes, of the parameter’s value.

 

 

 

Parameter Value

 

Contains the parameter’s current value when the PC field of the LOG SENSE

 

command is 01b.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The DU, DS, TSD, ETC, TMC and LP fields are collectively re-

 

ferred to as the Parameter Control Byte. This byte generally has

 

a value of 0; however, if the page is non-volatile but the drive is

 

not spun up or the GLTSD bit is set in Mode￿Page 0Ah, then the

Note:

value would be 20h.XCNWGIf the￿￿page is volatile, then the value is 60h.
