Calibration of NIST Standard Reference Material 3202 for 18-Track, Parallel, and36-Track, Parallel Serpentine, 12.65 mm (0.5 in.), 1491 cpmm (37871 cpi), Magnetic Tape Cartridge

摘要

The publication describes the test system design and operation for thecalibration of the NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 3202 Secondary Standard Reference Tape for 18-track, parallel, and 36-track, parallel serpentine, 12.65 (0.5 in), 1491 cpmm (37871 cpi) magnetic tape cartridge. The standard reference material for this magnetic tape cartridge will promote data interchange among computer installations. Reliable interchange requires that the media be designed and manufactured on the basis of a comparison to a known and accepted standard reference medium.
