ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing protrusion feedback for a read/write element is disclosed. A slider with a heating element is provided to control the level of read/write element protrusion. A level of heating applied to the slider to change the head protrusion is measured and recorded until acceptable operation of the read/write element is obtained. These measurements are then used to ensure that the read/write element continues to operate properly at different drive temperatures.
