Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for data processing. As an example, a data processing circuit is discussed that includes: a servo address mark count circuit, a user sync mark count circuit, and an offset calculation circuit. The servo address mark count circuit is operable to provide: a first count corresponding to a first servo address mark within a first track of a storage medium, a second count corresponding to a second servo address mark within the first track, a third count corresponding to a third servo address mark within a second track of the storage medium, and a fourth count corresponding to a fourth servo address mark within the second track. The user sync mark count circuit is operable to provide: a fifth count corresponding to a first user sync mark within the first track, and to provide a sixth count corresponding to a second user sync mark within the second track. The offset calculation circuit is operable to calculate an offset between the first track and the second track based at least in part on the first count, the second count, the third count, the fourth count, the fifth count, and the sixth count.
