Abstract:
Techniques for verifying a magnetic tape are disclosed. The techniques include obtaining a position signal generated by reading a magnetic tape using a stationary tape head. Next, a simulated current for adjusting a position of the tape head to follow a track on the magnetic tape is updated using the position signal. The simulated current is then compared to one or more saturation limits to generate a verification result for a servo pattern on the magnetic tape, wherein the verification result classifies the magnetic tape as usable or unusable. Finally, the verification result is outputted for use in managing subsequent use of the magnetic tape.

Claim (Index 20):
An apparatus, comprising:\n one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:\n obtain a position signal generated by reading a magnetic tape using a stationary tape head; \n updating, from the position signal, a simulated current for adjusting a position of the tape head to follow a track on the magnetic tape; \n determine a saturation density representing a frequency with which the simulated current exceeds one or more saturation limits associated with adjusting the position of the tape head; \n specify, in a verification result for a servo pattern on the magnetic tape, a usability of the magnetic tape based on a threshold for the saturation density; and \n output the verification result for use in managing subsequent use of the magnetic tape.
