Abstract

A scan tracking centering algorithm is not left at a nominal value, but is modified based on a tape timer's position into the field. That is, the scan tracking centering is adjusted forward (i.e., down) if the tape timer indicates the tape position is early in the field, and is adjusted back (i.e., up) if the indicated tape position is late in the field. Thus, the head deflection control decision which determines if the jumps, or doesn't jump, is made dependent upon tape position in the field, as well as on head elevation.
