Abstract
In a device with first and second heads, the second head is held at a radial location over one or more disks via a second actuator that moves the second head. A position error of the second head is read while performing a seek with a first actuator, the first actuator moving the first head over the one or more disks. A mechanical transfer function is determined between the first actuator and the second actuator based on the position error of the second head. The mechanical transfer function is used to provide compensation for the second head via the second actuator in response to subsequent seek of the first actuator.
