WHAT THE AUTOLOADER RETURNS

Total Puts – Bytes 04 through 07

The Total Puts field indicates the total number of puts to the element location

indicated by the element address. The total number of puts is stored in volatile

memory. This value cannot be cleared by a LOG SELECT command with the

Parameter Code Reset bit set.

Total Put Retries – Bytes 08 and 09

The Total Put Retries field indicates the total number of times the autoloader

had to retry a put operation to the element indicated by the element address.

The total number of put retries is stored in nonvolatile memory. This value

cannot be cleared by a LOG SELECT command with the Parameter Code

Reset bit set.

Total Pick Retries – Bytes 10 and 11

The Total Pick Retries field indicates the number of times the autoloader had to

retry a pick operation from the element indicated by the element address. The

total number of pick retries is stored in nonvolatile memory. This value cannot

be cleared by a LOG SELECT command with the Parameter Code Reset bit set.

8.3.6 CARTRIDGE SCAN RETRIES PAGE (PAGE CODE 34h)

The Cartridge Scan Retries page returns the total number of times the

autoloader had to retry scanning the cartridge located in the element. This

value is stored in volatile memory for each cartridge and is reset whenever the

autoloader is reset, powered-on, or the door is opened. This value can also be

cleared by a LOG SELECT command with the Parameter Code Reset bit set.

The value that you specify for the Parameter Pointer field of the CDB (bytes 05

and 06) determines the value that the autoloader returns in the Parameter

Code field of the Cartridge Scan Retries page. This value specifies the first

element (starting Element Address) for which information is returned.

A Cartridge Scan Retries page is returned for all subsequent elements (in

ascending element address order) until the allocation length specified in the

CDB has been reached or all element information has been sent. Element

addresses can be changed with the MODE SELECT command.
