Item. 3:
Two new diagnostics test the new 9-track magnetic tape
controller board (MTC). They are l-1TCOM and MTCMON.
MTCOM runs through the controller's repertoire of com-
mands. It is divided into 7 modules, of which modules
1 through 4 are run by default. Parameters control
which modules are run as well as the tape unit number
tested.
MTCOM modules are:
Module 1: WRITE and WFM (write file mark only)
Module 2: READ, SFF (skip file forward), READR
(read reverse) and SFR (skip file reverse)
Module 3: SBF (skip block forward), and SBR (skip
block revE~rse)
Module 4: SFFR (skip file forward, reading) and
SFRR (skip file reverse, reading)
Module 5: EFL (erase fixed length gap) and EVL
(erase variable length gap)
Module 6: SE (security erase) and RUO (rewind,
unload and offline)
- Module 7: An interactive test of the drive's han-
dling of the write enable ring
l-ITCl-10N is an interactive monitor that enables the user
to issue single commands or strings of commands to the
MTC. A HELP command allows the user to see a menu of
the available commands. MTCMON commands have the same
basic syntax rules as the other interactive monitors in
SADIE: TCDMON, WDCMON, MDCMON and SMDMON.
l-ITCMON and MTCOM documentation is included in the
NINE-TRACK TAPE SUBSYSTErtl O&M fwtANUAL. The "WUP" (tape
warmup) command described in the documentation of
MTCJttION is no longer a valid command.
