Servo frame format

As the servo information, the drive uses the two-phase servo generated from the gray code and
servo A to D. This servo information is used for positioning operation of radius direction and
position detection of circumstance direction.
The servo frame consists of 5 blocks; write/read recovery, servo mark, gray code, servo A to
D and PAD. Figure 4.9 shows the servo frame format.
