ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for dynamically compensating for servo burst measurement offsets in a disc drive. A first type of servo position error signal is used during a compensation routine to position a head adjacent a selected track on a disc, the first type of servo position error signal determined from servo burst signals read by the head from servo position fields on the disc. A second type of servo position error signal is also generated from the servo burst signals and the difference between selected values of the second type of servo position error signal is compared to an acceptance limit. Compensation terms are incrementally added to the servo burst signals used to generate the second type of servo position error signal until the difference is below the acceptance limits. Thereafter, the compensation terms are stored and retrieved during normal track following operations to generate a compensated servo position error signal.
