When executed, this function displays the revision of the operating firmware used by FastStor
microprocessors and the drive.
Use this function if your application software does not support FastStor, but does support the
SCALAR library.
Use this function to change the Mode of Operation from/to RANDOM or SEQUENTIAL.
This function allows you to verify the functionality of the FastStor robotics. CYCLE TEST
exercises the FastStor robotics by executing a sequence of pick and place operations, moving the
cartridges between the slots and the drive.
The CLEAN DRV function permits you to clean the drive head manually. Use this function if
your application software does not support an auto cleaning cycle, and you do not want to
dedicate slot 7 to the FastStor AUTOCLEAN feature.
AUTOCLEAN provides an automatic cleaning cycle. Use AUTOCLEAN only if your
application software does not support an auto cleaning cycle. Slot 7 is dedicated to the cleaning
cartridge whenever AUTOCLEAN is enabled, reducing the FastStor data capacity to 6 tapes.

FastStor keeps track of how many times certain events have occurred. The dSP COUNTS
function returns these numbers to the display.
