15.2 Defragmentation of Drive Memory
Free cluster table
A data indicating the status of cluster usage. It is a response data to 'read drive memory usage status' (command: 0205).
■Data communication in ASCII code
The numerical value that indicates usage status is converted to n-digit (hexadecimal) ASCII code and sent to the external
device. (16 clusters/4 digits)
■Data communication in binary code
An m-byte numerical value that indicates usage status is sent to the external device. (16 clusters/2 bytes)
■Content of free cluster table
The usage status of each cluster is indicated by one cluster per bit.
0: Empty, 1: Used
*1 16th cluster from the head cluster
*2 First cluster
*3 Last cluster
When the usage status is as shown above, the content of free cluster table that is returned to the external device is as follows:
• When 32 clusters are returned while communicating in ASCII code
'3CFF003F' is returned and it is sent from '3'.
• When 32 clusters are returned while communicating in binary code
'FFH', '3CH', '3FH', and '00H' are returned and these are sent from 'FFH'.
■Drive memory defragmentation
When performing defragmentation of drive memory, the free cluster table is not returned.
