20、rotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of techni
21、cal activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technic
22、al committee, ISO/IEC JTCl, Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 10090 was
23、prepared by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (as Standard ECMA-209) and was adopted under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTCl, Information technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of IS0 and IEC. Annexes A to G form an integr
24、al part of this International Standard. Annexes H to L are for information only. vii ISO/IEC 14833:1996 (E) OISO/IEC Introduction International Standard ISO/IEC 13421 concerns a magnetic tape cartridge of a type different from that of International Standards IS0 9661 and ISO/IEC 11559. Whilst the ma
25、gnetic tape is also 12,7 mm wide, it is characterized by the fact that the physical tracks, recorded and read in pairs, constitute two groups, the first recorded and read in forward direction, the second in reverse direction. International Standard ISO/IEC 13962 constitutes a development of the cart
26、ridge specified in International Standard ISOAEC 13421 in that the number of tracks has been raised from 48 to 112, thus raising the total capacity of the cartridge accordingly. This International Standard specifies a further development of the DLT-formatted cartridges. By raising the number of trac
27、ks to 128 and adopting an enhanced format, a further capacity increase is achieved. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD OISO/IEC ISO/IEC 14833:1996 (E) Information technology - Data interchange on 12,7 mm 12%track magnetic tape cartridges - DLT 3 format Section 1: General 1 Scope This International Standard spec
28、ifies the physical and magnetic characteristics of a 12,7 mm wide, 128-track magnetic tape cartridge, to enable interchangeability of such cartridges. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signals, a format - called Digital Linear Tape 3 (DLT 3) - and a recording method. Together with a labe
29、lling standard, for instance International Standard IS0 1001: 1986, Information processing - File structure and labelling of magnetic tapes for information interchange, it allows full data interchange by means of such magnetic tape cartridges. 2 Conformance 2.1 Magnetic tape cartridges A magnetic ta
30、pe cartridge shall be in conformance with this International Standard if it satisfies all mandatory requirements of this International Standard. The tape requirements shall be satisfied throughout the extent of the tape. 2.2 Generating systems A system generating a magnetic tape cartridge for interc
31、hange shall be entitled to claim conformance with this International Standard if all the recordings that it makes on a tape according to 2.1 meet the mandatory requirements of this International Standard. 2.3 Receiving systems A system receiving a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be ent
32、itled to claim conformance with this International Standard if it is able to handle any recording made on a tape according to 2.1. 3 Normative reference The following standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.
