Method for automatic alignment calibration of a data storage library

Calibrating alignments of a data storage library includes determining an alignment offset by aligning an emitter (412,414) attached to a media transport assembly (MTA) (130) with a reference location (422) located at a storage area, determining a sensor offset by aligning a sensor (432) attached to...

Zusammenfassung:Calibrating alignments of a data storage library includes determining an alignment offset by aligning an emitter (412,414) attached to a media transport assembly (MTA) (130) with a reference location (422) located at a storage area, determining a sensor offset by aligning a sensor (432) attached to the MTA with a reference target (434) located at the storage area, wherein the sensor offset is a function of the alignment offset, and determining a specific offset by aligning the sensor with a specific target, wherein the specific offset is a function of the sensor offset, wherein the specific offset is used to determine an actual position of a specific location located near the specific target.
