ESDLT 600 Product Manual
Device | According to the SCSI specification, multiple SCSI devices can |
| be connected to a single SCSI bus. Each SCSI device contains a |
| SCSI ID number that can be set in the range 0 to 15. |
Device Driver | A |
| that enables a PC to communicate with peripheral devices such as |
| printers, |
| requires a different driver. |
Differential | A term referring to the electrical characteristics of the signal used |
| on the SCSI bus interface. Differential signals minimize the |
| effect of common mode signal noise and allow the SCSI bus to |
| operate reliably over greater distances at a higher speed. |
DLTSage | A suite of predictive and preventive maintenance diagnostics |
| software, sold and supported by Quantum Corporation. |
DLZ | Digital |
| and Jacob Ziv. A data compression technique used in all SDLT |
| tape drives. |
E
EEPROM | Electronically Erasable Programmable |
| integrated circuit memory chip that can store programs and data |
| in a |
| SDLT tape drives, and can be erased and reprogrammed with |
| new data. |
EIM | Electronic Interface Module. The SDLT EIM consists of two |
| major |
| and a separate Host Interface Module (HIM) board. |
Encoding | (n.) Characters (or bytes) of information converted to magnetic |
| patterns on the media. (v.) The process of converting to the |
| desired pattern. |
EOD | End of Data. Location on media where the last session stopped. |
EOM or EOT | End of Media or End of Tape. Logical EOM allows space to |
| complete a write operation; physical EOM signifies that the |
| media is completely used. |
Erase | The removal of data from media. |
