microprocessors and the drive.

SCALAR library.
CHG MOdE Use this function to change the Mode of Operation from/to RANDOM or SEQUENTIAL.
CYCLE TEST 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.
CLEAN dRV 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 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.
