    • A method for selecting which tap coefficients of a programmable finite-impulse-response (FIR) equalizer to fix includes performing an initial calibration to determine an initial value for each tap coefficient of a FIR equalizer. Using these initial values, a “total” FIR equalizer is determined which sets the tap coefficients to their initial values. The method further determines multiple sets of tap coefficients that may potentially be fixed in the FIR equalizer. For each set of tap coefficients that may potentially be fixed, the method determines a “fixed” FIR equalizer that sets the tap coefficients in the set to their initial values and other tap coefficients to zero. The method then determines a phase-difference energy between the “total” FIR equalizer and the “fixed” FIR equalizer for each set of tap coefficients that may potentially be fixed. The set of tap coefficients associated with the lowest phase-difference energy are then fixed.
    • 用于选择要修复的可编程有限脉冲响应(FIR)均衡器的抽头系数的方法包括执行初始校准以确定FIR均衡器的每个抽头系数的初始值。 使用这些初始值,确定“总共”FIR均衡器,其将抽头系数设置为其初始值。 该方法还确定可能在FIR均衡器中可能固定的多组抽头系数。 对于潜在固定的每组抽头系数,该方法确定一个“固定”FIR均衡器,其将集合中的抽头系数设置为其初始值和其他抽头系数为零。 该方法然后确定可能可能固定的每组抽头系数的“总”FIR均衡器和“固定”FIR均衡器之间的相位差能量。 然后,与最低相位差能量相关联的抽头系数的集合是固定的。

    • A servo position detector and a method for detecting and following an index position displaced at an offset with respect to an edge of a servo track, an edge comprising an interface between two dissimilar recorded servo signals. The servo track has two edges on opposite lateral sides of a middle recorded servo signal, the edges separated by a predetermined distance. A servo read element has an active sensing region which is no more than and is substantially the entire predetermined distance separating the edges, thereby.sensing no more than two of the dissimilar recorded servo signals at one of the edges. An independent position sensor senses the coarse position of the servo read element, indicating which edge or which index position is aligned with the servo read element. Logic compares the two sensed servo signals to determine the ratio therebetween, and determines an error between the compared ratio and a predetermined ratio. The predetermined ratio is an offset from a centered on-edge ratio, and identifies the index position. The logic provides the servo position error with respect to the index position. A servo positioner moves the servo read element to reduce the servo position error.
