This panel is similar to the volser ranges panel selectable from the commands pull
down (refer to Figure 94 on page 162). The only difference is the addition of the
"Start Inventory" button. Select this button after reviewing/modifying the volser
ranges. Selecting the "Start Inventory" button allows the inventory process to
continue. Selecting the "Cancel" button cancels the inventory process.
Cleaner Volume Masks
When selecting a type of inventory, an option is presented to set the cleaner
volume masks. At least one of the masks must be set (for example, CLN***). The
CLN prefix is not a requirement. Any valid volser can be used. See Figure 103 for
information on how to set the cleaner volume masks.
The cleaner volume masks are external labels with patterns of characters used to
identify which volumes are cleaner cartridges. The cleaner volume masks allow for
identification of cleaning cartridges that either are put into the 3494 through an input
station or are identified during an inventory operation. When identified, cleaner
volumes are assigned to a cleaner volume category.
The pop-up window allows the entry of up to 10 cleaner masks. If this is the first
time the masks are presented, the first mask is set to a default value of CLN*** and
the other nine masks are set to blanks. If this is not the first time the masks are
presented, whatever was last entered is displayed. The asterisk (*) can be used in
the mask and is interpreted as a wildcard character (any valid character). When the
masks are set, any volser labels that match any of the masks are considered
cleaner volumes.
