Abstract

A method to read information from a tape storage medium, where that tape includes a calibration region and a data region. The method uses a read channel having a first detection mode and a second detection mode. The method initializes the first detection mode and forms a calibration waveform comprising information read from the calibration region using the first detection mode. The method then defines a plurality of bit cell boundaries, initializes the second detection mode, and reads information from the data region using the second detection mode.
