Presenting three first sections of Chapter 7 “Perpendicular Recording” from Alex Taratorin’s book “Magnetic Recording Systems and Measurements”

WITE32 is the latest Guzik software package for Read/Write Analyzer (RWA) control. The open design architecture of the package provides flexibility and expendability to both user and designer. WITE32 is developed under Microsoft Windows 32-bit environment…

The WDK Version 3.02 is released to work with WITE32 Version 3.02 (or later) Note:  Guzik Technical Enterprises reserves the right to change the functionality of both the WITE32 software and the WITE32 Developer’s Kit (WDK) software at any time, thereby requiring you to upgrade both WITE32 and the WDK to the new release, to

With today’s high track densities, using embedded servo to provide accurate and repeatable positioning is a requirement. Guzik V2002 now supports two modes of servo operation:
• Standard Servo Mode (included in WITE32)
• New Servo Mode (optional, included in the Servo Improvement package)

The new script version of Guzik WITE32 Development Kit (WDK32) allows for interactive execution of all Guzik WDK32 functions including RWA and spinstand control functions, measurement functions, and operations.

Dynamic adjustment of write-mode TFC power, depending on four parameters: Write current Write current overshoot amplitude Write current overshoot duration Write signal frequency Works transparently with WITE32, Guzik test modules, and WDK-based custom modules Calculates write signal frequency depending on a data pattern, not just write clock

Most of WITE32 standard measurements with per-sector results Capability to sweep/vary most of WITE32 system parameters Integrated graphical result display Capability to export all raw test results to a text file

Amplitude Asymmetry Test Differentiator Optimization Test Rise-and-fall Time (T50) Test Rolloff Test Saturation Asymmetry Test

The Write-Excited Sectored Amplitude (WESA) test package is a new WITE32 external module. The module implements a set of tests that analyze different physical aspects of how a write operation can affect a subsequent read operation.

The BER Module is designed to provide various tests based on Bit Error Rate (BER) measurement using PRML channel.

D5000 Signal Analyzer Software allows for performing spectrum analysis much faster and in a wider frequency range comparing to standard SA-960 spectrum analyzer of RWA-2000 series.

The Media-Scanning Package (MSCAN) detects a variety of defects on media. It also provides a software environment to develop new media-scanning and defect-reporting modules. Such modules can be created for PRML Channel, Read-Write Analyzer (RWA), or custom-designed hardware.
