edge
Adjust amplitude for at least four divi
sions on the oscilloscope, A. C. coupled.
2 . Apply power to the drive.
The Track 16 radius is 1.9167
inches from the center of the hub.
Other track locations are comput
ed based upon 48 TPI.
3 . Select the drive.
4. Insert a certified alignment diskette,
Dysan Number 224/2A, into the drive.
5 . Select Head 0 , the lower head.
6 . Read Track 16 for Radial Track align
ment of the lower head.
7 . Adjust the oscilloscope to observe a Cats
Eye pattern (Figure 5-6).
8 . Verify the smaller of the two Cats Eye
