2) SEQUENTIAL SEEK TEST
[Test conditions setting]
• Cylinder Range [0 ~ inmost cylinder]
The cylinder range to be tested is set.
• Retry Count [0 ~ 4]
Retry count in case of an error is set.
• Error Stop/Continue/1 Pass
Selection is made among Error Stop/Continue/1 Pass in case of an
error.
• Test Start ? [Yes/No]
Selection is made to execute the test or not.
1 Checking content
In the cylinder range set above, the sequential seek is executed for
every 1 track. When the seek test in the set range is completed (in
the direction of 0 3 inmost cylinder), it is counted as 1 pass. In case
of an error during the above test, a retry is repeated up to the set
number of retries. Every time an error occurs by executing retry up
to the retry number and error logging is performed. Logging is made
for HD and DRAM.
When an "Error stop" is set in the test conditions setting, and an
error occurs during the above test, the error display is made and the
test is stopped. Press the space bar to resume the test.
When "Continue" is set, even if an error occurs, the error display is
made but the test is not stopped.
When "1 Pass" is set, a series of tests is made only once and the
test is stopped.

@Cylinder range ?
@Retry count ?
@[Errorstop continue 1pass]
@Test Start ? [Yes No]
Select the desired items at the position of @. (@ is not displayed on
the screen.)
On the above screen, when the pass count is counted up (when the
point is counted up to the upper limit set in the cylinder range setting,
the pass count is counted up by 1.), and if the error counter of all error
items are not counted up (remaining as 00000), the test is OK.
When the space bar is pressed during the test, the test is inter-
rupted.
When the space bar is pressed during interruption of the test, the
test is started.
3 Terminating method
Press the Esc key during execution of the test or during interruption of
the test to terminate the test and return to the above menu screen.
3) RANDOM SEEK TEST
[Test condition setting]
Same as the above sequential read.
However, execution of the test by 1 Pass means execution of random
seek through the set cylinder range.
1 Checking content
The random seek is executed for every one track in the cylinder
range set previously.
When the seek test is completed in the set range, it is counted as 1
pass.
In case of an error during the above test, a retry is repeated up to
the set number of retries. Every time an error occurs a retry is per-
formed up to the set number of retries, and error logging is made.
Logging is made for HD and DRAM.
When the "Error Stop" is set in the test condition setting, and an
error occurs during the above test.
The error display is shown and the test is interrupted. Press the
space key to resume the test.
When the "Continue" is set, even if an error occurs, the error display
is made but the test is not stopped.
When "1 Pass" is set, a series of tests is made only once and the
test is stopped.
2 Display
Same as the above sequential read, however the following contents
are different.
The test Point is changed at random in the range of 000 ~ XXX (cyl-
inder range set value).
Each point is tested once, and the pass count is added by one with
XXX times.
3 Terminating method
Press the Esc key during execution of the test or during interruption of
the test to terminate the test and return to the above menu screen.
