18、 to develop a standard for the5.25-in (130-mm) Rewritable Magneto-Optic media. A similar project wasalso started later that same year at the international level in committeeISO/IEC/JTC1-SC23/WG2, which resulted in ISO/IEC 10089:1991. Therewas one significant difference between these two projects. At
19、 the interna-tional level, it was decided to follow the example set by ISO 9171 for 130-mm WORM media by establishing two different and noncompatible record-ing formats under a single standard.The concept of a dual format standard for optical media has never foundfavor among the members of ASC X3B11
20、. It was felt that a standard thatallowed two independent and incompatible recording methods would causeconfusion in the marketplace and make it difficult for users to achieveinterchange of media between various systems.The consensus among the members was that different recording methodsfor 130-mm M
21、O media should be described in separate standards. Theproject to develop ANSI X3.212 was explicitly restricted to a single record-ing method. The consensus among the members of ASC X3B11 was thatonly the Continuous Composite Servo (CCS) using the Run Length Limited(RLL) 2,7 encoding method should be
22、 supported for a draft proposedAmerican National Standard (dpANS) for 130-mm MO media.ISO 10089 permits both Continuous Composite Servo recording with theRLL 2,7 encoding method (Format A) and Sampled Servo recording withthe 4/15 encoding method (Format B). Other than these two recordingmethods, all
23、 other aspects of the cartridge and media are identicalbetween the two formats of ISO/IEC 10089.Because the work proceeded in parallel at the international level and atASC X3B11, it was not initially apparent that both standards would beidentical in all respects other than the option of dual recordi
24、ng methods. In1991, ISO/IEC 10089 was published. The text of the draft (DIS) interna-tional standard, ISO/IEC DIS 10089, was used for a dpANS after all refer-ences to the second format (Sampled Servo and 4/15 encoding) had beenremoved. Thus, ANSI X3.212 is essentially similar to ISO/IEC 10089 withth
25、e exception of the dual format.There are 11 annexes; annexes A, B, C, F, G, and K are normative whileannexes D, E, H, I, and J are informative and are not considered part ofthis standard.Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, ordefect reports are welcome.

33、3.212-19926 General descriptionThe optical disk cartridge which is the subject of this Standard consists of a case containing an opti-cal disk. An optical beam is used to write data to, or to read data from, or to erase data from, the diskusing the magno-optical Kerr effect.The disk can be recorded
34、either only on one side or on both sides.The disk is intended for use in a drive with optical access from one side only. To gain access tothe second side of a disk recordable on both sides, the cartridge must be reversed before inser-tion into the drive.Typically, a disk recordable on one side consi
35、sts of a transparent layer acting as a substrate witha recording layer on one side and a hub on the other. The recording layer is accessed by an opti-cal beam through the substrate. A disk recordable on both sides consists of two disks recordableon one side assembled together with the recording laye
36、rs on the inside.Other constructions are permitted but must have the same characteristics.7 DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Standard, the following definitions apply:7.1 case: The housing for an optical disk, that protects the disk and facilitates disk interchange.7.2 clamping zone: The annular
37、part of the disk within which the clamping force is applied bythe clamping device.7.3 control track: A track containing the information on media parameters and format neces-sary for writing, reading, and erasing the remaining tracks on the optical disk.7.4 cyclic redundancy check (CRC): A method for
38、 detecting errors in data.7.5 defect management: A method to handle the defective areas on the disk.7.6 disk reference plane: A plane defined by the perfectly flat annular surface of an ideal spin-dle onto which the clamping zone of the disk is clamped, and which is normal to the axis of rota-tion.7
39、.7 entrance surface: The surface of the disk onto which the optical beam first impinges.7.8 error correction code (ECC): An error-detecting code designed to correct certain kinds oferrors in data.7.9 format: The arrangement of layout of the data on the disk.7.10 hub: The central feature on the disk
40、which interacts with the spindle of the disk drive toprovide radial centering and the clamping force.7.11 interleaving: The process of allocating the physical sequence of units of data so as to ren-der the data more immune to burst errors.7.12 Kerr rotation: The rotation of the plane of polarization
41、 of an optical beam upon reflectionfrom the recording layer, as caused by the magneto-optic Kerr effect.7.13 land and groove: A trench-like feature of the disk, applied before the recording of anyinformation, and used to define the track location. The groove is located nearer to the entrancesurface
42、than the land with which it is paired to form a track.7.14 mark: A feature of the recording layer which may take the form of a magnetic domain, a pit,or any other type or form that can be sensed by the optical system. The pattern of marks repre-sents the data on the disk.37.15 optical disk: A disk t
43、hat will accept and retain information in the form of marks in arecording layer, that can be read with an optical beam.7.16 optical disk cartridge: A device consisting of a case containing an optical disk.7.17 polarization: The direction of polarization of an optical beam is the direction of the ele
44、ctricvector of the beam. NOTE The plane of polarization is the plane containing the electric vector and the direction of propagationof the beam. The polarization is right-handed, when to an observer looking in the direction of the propagationof the beam, the end-point of the electric vector would ap
45、pear to descibe an ellipse in the clockwise sense.7.18 pre-recorded information: Non-alterable information which cannot be changed once thedisk is manufactured.7.19 read power: The read power is the optical power, incident at the entrance surface of thedisk, used when reading.NOTE It is specified as
46、 a maximum power that may be used without damage to the written data. Lowerpowers may be used providing that the signal-to-noise ratio and other requirements of this standard are met.7.20 recording layer: A layer of the disk on or in which data is written during manufacurerand/or use.7.21 ReedSolomo
47、n code: An error detection and/or correction code which is particularly suit-ed to the correction of errors which occur in bursts or are strongly correlated.7.22 rewritable optical disk: An optical disk in which the data in specified areas can be rewrit-ten by an optical beam.7.23 spindle: The part
48、of the disk drive which contacts the disk and/or hub.7.24 substrate: A transparent layer of the disk, provided for mechanical support of the record-ing layer, through which the optical beam accesses the recording layer.7.25 track: The path which is followed by the focus of the optical beam during on
49、e revolution.7.26 track pitch: The distance between adjacent track centerlines, measured in a radial direction. 7.27 write-inhibit hole: A hole in the case which, when detected by the drive to be open,inhibits both write and erase operations.8 Environment8.1 Testing environmentUnless otherwise specified, tests and measurements made on the optical disk cartridge to checkthe requirements of this Standard shall be carried out in an environment where the air immediate-ly surrounding the optical disk cartridge is within the following c
