Abstract
Plural information transfer elements transfer signals from plural magnetic tape tracks of plural tapes. Each element and track has a different non-linear transfer function. A processor (1) determines appropriate compensation for the signal one of the transfer elements derives, (2) accesses stored information for compensation characteristics of each of the data transfer elements, and (3) references the accessed information with the compensation determined for the one element to establish an appropriate compensation for the other elements.
