This Americ
10、an National Standard presents the technique for recording the code presented in American National Standard Code for Information Interchange, (ASCII), ANSI X3.4- 1977, on magnetic tape at 800 characters per inch (CPI) using nonreturn-to-zero - change on ones (NRZI) recording techniques. It is one of
11、a series of standards implement- ing the ASCII in media. Related standards specify higher densities and define more fully the physical and mag- netic properties of magnetic tape, and specify a standard record format and labels Work is continuing on definitions, higher performance, and future require
12、ments Technical Committee X3B1, which developed this document, consists of a group of ex- perienced and qualified specialists on recording of digital information on magnetic tape. In the development of this standard, careful consideration was given to current practices, existing equipment and suppli
13、es, and the broadest possible acceptance, while providing a basis for future improvement in the use of the medium. This standard is a revision of ANSI X3.22-1973 and was approved as an American Na- tional Standard by ANSI on August 19, 1983. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welco

35、c Tape for Information Interchange (800 WI, NRZI) 1. Scope and Purpose 1.1 This standard provides specifications for format and recording for l/2-inch, 9-track magnetic tape to be used for information interchange among information processing systems, communication systems, and as- sociated equipment
36、 utilizing the American National Standard Code for Information Interchange, (ASCII), ANSI X3.4-1977. This standard deals solely with record- ing on magnetic tape and supports and complements American National Standard for Information Systems - Unrecorded Magnetic Tape for Information Inter- change (
37、9-Track 800 CPI, NRZI; 1600 CPI, PE; and 6250 CPI, GCR), ANSI X3.40-1983, in which the fol- lowing sections are dealt with in detail: general require- ments, definitions, tape physical and magnetic require- ments, and tape reel requirements. Compliance with the standard for unrecorded tape is a requ
38、irement for information interchange. CAUTION NOTICE: The users attention is called to the pos- sibility that compliance with this standard may require use of an invention covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with re- spect to the validity of this claim or o
39、f any patent rights in connection therewith. The patent holder has, however, filed a statement of willingness to grant a license under these rights on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms and conditions to applicants desiring to obtain such a license. Details may be ob- tained from the publisher.
40、No representation or warranty is made or implied that this is the only license that may be required to avoid infringement in the use of this standard. 1.2 This standard defines the requirements and sup- porting test methods necessary to ensure interchange at acceptable performance levels. It is dist
41、inct from a specification in that it delineates a minimum of restric- tions consistent with compatibility in interchange transactions. 1.3 The performance levels contained in this standard represent the minimum acceptable levels of performance for interchange purposes. They, therefore, represent the
42、 performance levels that the interchanged items should meet or surpass during their useful life and thus define end-of-life criteria for interchange purposes. The performance levels in this standard are not intended to be employed as substitutes for purchase specifica- tions. 1.4 Wherever feasible,
43、quantitative performance levels that must be met or exceeded in order to comply with this standard are given. In all cases, including those in which quantitative limits for requirements falling with- in the scope of this standard are not stated but left to agreement between interchange parties, stan
44、dard test methods and measurement procedures shall be used to determine such limits. 1.5 U.S. engineering units are the original dimensions in this standard. Conversions of toleranced dimensions from customary U.S. engineering units (similar to British Imperial Units) to SI units have been incorpora
45、ted in this standard according to Method A as described in American National Standard Metric Practice, ANSI/ IEEE 268-1982, and in Toleranced Dimensions - Con- version from Inches into Millimetres and Vice Versa, IS0 370-1975. Method A, as described in ANSI/IEEE 268-1982, should be used to achieve e
46、conomy unless requirements for absolute assurance of fit justifies use of Method B In the national standards of IS0 member bodies, additional rounding may be done to produce “preferred” values. These values should lie within or close to the original tolerance. 1.6 Except as indicated in 1.4 above, i
47、nterchange parties complying with the applicable standards should be able to achieve compatibility without need for addi- tional exchange of technical information. 2.
