9、e using IMFM recording at252ftpmm (6400ftpi) Part 2: Track format and method of recording for data interchange in start/stop mode” published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The purpose of this standard is to define those characteristics necessary for successful data inte
10、rchange using magnetic tape cartridges. The information contained is intended as a guide to writing complete specifications for manufacture, purchasing and/or testing. The text of the International Standard does not accord with the recommendations for drafting product specifications given in the ISO
11、 Directives, or in BS0-3, but the BSI Technical Committee considers the text is useful as a guide when cartridges are being described or specified. For this reason this British Standard has a different title from the International Standard; it is issued as a British Standard guide, and it should onl
12、y be used as such. It should not be used on its own as a British Standard product specification and, in particular, no claims of compliance with this British Standard should be made. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards
13、 are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS7081-2:1989 BSI 01-2000 1 1 Scope and field of application ISO8063 specifies the characteristics of a tape cartridge using6,30mm(0.25in) wide magnetic tape for data interchan
18、ge between data processing systems. ISO8063-1 specifies the dimensional, physical and magnetic characteristics of the cartridge, and the track layout. This part ofISO8063 specifies the quality of the recorded signals, and the track format to be used on a6,30mm(0.25in) magnetic tape cartridge, record
19、ed at252ftpmm(6400ftpi) using IMFM recording and the start/stop mode of operation. Together with the labelling scheme specified inISO4341,ISO8063-1 andISO8063-2 provide for full data interchange between data processing systems. NOTENumeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this
20、part ofISO8063 may have been rounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system may be used, but the two should be neither intermixed nor reconverted. The original design was made using the Imperial measurement system. ISO8063 applies to cartridges use
21、d for data interchange. Where it applies for testing only, this is specifically stated. 2 Conformance A 6,30mm (0.25in) wide magnetic tape cartridge shall be in conformance with ISO8063 if it meets all mandatory requirements of both ISO8063-1 and ISO8063-2. 3 References ISO 646, Information processi
