Abstract
Calibrating alignments of a data storage library includes determining an alignment offset by aligning an emitter attached to a media transport assembly (MTA) with a reference location located at a storage area, determining a sensor offset by aligning a sensor attached to the MTA with a reference target located at the storage area, wherein the sensor offset is a function of the alignment offset, and determining a specific offset by aligning the sensor with a specific target, wherein the specific offset is a function of the sensor offset, wherein the specific offset is used to determine an actual position of a specific location located near the specific target.
