15、 in)wide magnetic tape cassette type D-1 to allow parties that comply withthese requirements reliably to interchange information. This standardaddresses the tape cassette dimensions and tolerances and the propertiesof the magnetic media.This standard was developed by Sub-Committee X3B5 for digital m

16、agnetictape. This group consists of experienced and qualified specialists on therecording of digital information on magnetic tape. In the development ofthis standard, careful consideration was given to current practices, existingequipment and supplies, achieving the broadest possible acceptance, and

17、providing a basis for future improvement in the use of the medium. Thisstandard has three annexes.This standard is intended to be used with American National Standard forInformation Systems 19 mm type ID-1 recorded instrumentation Digitalcassette tape format, ANSI X3.175-1990, developed by ASC X3B6,

18、 andwas developed in conjunction with a combined unrecorded/recorded stan-dard Helical-scan computer tape cassette for information interchange 19mm (0.748 in) type DD-1 by ASC X3B5Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, ordefect reports are welcome. They should be sent t

19、o the X3 Secretariat,Information Technology Industry Council, 1250 Eye Street, NW,Washington DC 20005-3922.This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by theAccredited Standards Committee on Information Technology, X3.Committee approval of this standard does not necessarily imply

20、that allcommittee members voted for its approval. At the time it approved thisstandard, the X3 Committee had the following members:James D. Converse, ChairDonald C. Loughry, Vice-ChairJoanne Flanagan, SecretaryOrganization Represented Name of RepresentativeAmerican Nuclear SocietyGeraldine C. MainSa

21、lly Hartzell (Alt.)AMP, Inc. Edward KellyCharles Brill (Alt.)Apple Computer, IncDavid K. MichaelAT and a magnetic tape of 19 mm (0.748 in) nominal width held inside the case on twinhubs. The tape shall be transported between the hubs for digital recording at a physicaldensity of 2 252 ftpmm (57 200

22、ftpi).Information interchange between information processing systems requires the use of thisstandard in conjunction with a recorded standard.Additionally, information interchange requires (at a minimum) the utilization of a labeling andfile structure and an interchange code as agreed upon by the in

23、terchange parties.It is not within the scope of this standard to describe a recorded format, nor to addressstandards for labeling and file structure.1.2 PurposeThe purpose of this standard is to define the requirements and supporting test methodsnecessary to ensure information interchange at accepta

24、ble performance levels. It is distinctfrom a specification in that it delineates a minimum number of restrictions consistent withcompatibility in interchange transactions.The performance levels contained in this standard represent the minimum acceptable levelsof performance for interchange purposes.

25、 They, therefore, represent the performance levelsthat the interchange items should meet or surpass during their useful life and thus defineend-of-life criteria for interchange purposes. The performance levels in this standard are notintended to be employed as substitutes for purchase specifications

26、.Wherever feasible, quantitative performance levels that shall be met or exceeded to complywith this standard are given. In all cases, including those in which quantitative limits forrequirements falling within the scope of this standard are not stated but left to agreementbetween interchange partie

27、s, standard test methods and measurement procedures shall beused to determine such limits.The interchange parties complying with the applicable standards should be able to achievecompatibility without the need for additional exchange of technical information.ANSI X3.264-199621.3 ConformanceA magneti

28、c tape cassette conforms to this standard if it satisfies all mandatory requirements.The tape requirements shall be satisfied throughout the extent of the tape.1.4 DimensionsThe original dimensions and quantities for all numeric values in this standard are in theInternational System of Units (SI). C

29、onversions of these units to U.S. Customary engineeringunits (similar to British Imperial units) and centimeter-gram-second electromagnetic units (cgsemu) have been incorporated in accordance with the procedures described in ANSI/IEEE268. Units of either of the two measurement systems may be referre

30、d to but the two systemsshould not be intermixed or reconverted. Conversions of toleranced dimensions andquantities in this standard have been performed in accordance with Method A of ANSI/IEEE268 and ISO 370, International standard toleranced dimensions Conversions frommillimeters into inches and v

31、ice versa, to maintain the implied correspondence between theaccuracy of the original data and the number of significant digits and rounding of theconverted values. In the national standards of ISO member bodies, additional rounding maybe done to produce “preferred“ values. These values should lie w

32、ithin or close to the originaltolerances. 2 Normative referencesThe following standards contain provisions which, through reference in the text, constituteprovisions of this standard.
