IS0 6596/2 specifies the quality of recorded signals, the track layout, and the track format to be used on a 130 mm (5.25 in) flexible disk cartridge, recorded at 7 956 ftprad, I,9 tpmm (46 tpi), on one side, using two-frequency recording, which is intended for data interchange between data pro

Together with the labelling scheme to be specified in IS0 7665, IS0 6596/l and IS0 6596/2 provide for full data interchange between data processing systems. 1 Scope and field of application This part of IS0 6596 specifies the dimensional, physical and magnetic characteristics of the
13、 cartridge, so as to provide physical interchangeability between data processing systems. NOTE - Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this International Standard may have been rounded and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system may
14、 be used, but the two should be neither intermixed nor reconverted. The original design was made using Imperial units and further developments were made using SI units. 2 References IS0 545, information processing - IS.0 7-bit coded character set for information interchange.

47、t transmittance (This annex forms part of the standard.) B.0 Introduction The following description outlines the general principle of the measuring equipment and the measuring method to be applied when measuring the radiation (light) transmittance of the jacket and of the magnetic disk. For the purp
48、ose of this document “light transmittance” is defined by convention as the relationship between the reading obtained from the test device with the sample inserted and the reading obtained when no sample is present. The transmittance value is expressed as the percentage ratio of the two readings. The
49、 essential elements of the measuring equipment are the radiation source; the photo diode; the optical path; the measuring circuitry. Description of the measuring equipment Radiation source An infra red light-emitting diode (LED) with the following parameters shall be used : - wavelength at peak emission Apeak = 940 k 10 nm - half-power band width b = 31 50 nm NOTE - Earlier International Standards
