Patent ID: 6975475

Claim:
A method generating an OverShoot Control (OSC) collection regarding a writer for members of a radial zone collection including at least three radially consecutive tracks on a rotating disk surface within a disk drive, wherein said writer is contained within said disk drive, wherein said writer is comprised of a read-write head communicating with a rotating disk surface, a preamplifier coupled with said read-write head and a channel interface coupled with said preamplifier, within said disk drive wherein the members of said OSC collection include an Optimum OSC, a Minimum OSC and a Maximum OSC, wherein said method is comprised, regarding said writer communicating with said radial zone collection members, of the steps of: optimizing said OSC collection members to create a Bit Error Rate (BER); optimizing said Minimum OSC to meet an Adjacent Track Writing (ATW) criteria based upon said BER; and optimizing said Minimum OSC to meet a Write Induced Instability (WII) criteria.
