Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for simulating a defect signal in a time based servo system includes determining a start position for a spike, determining an end position for the spike, determining a servo channel, determining an amplitude of the spike, initiating an acquire lock process, creating the spike in the determined servo channel from the determined start position to the determined end position, and storing servo data including at least a portion thereof generated during the spike. The spike has the determined amplitude. In another embodiment, a computer program product for generating defect signals in a storage system includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se. The program instructions are executable by a controller to perform the foregoing method.
