ABSTRACT:
Positive and negative peaks of the differential pulses produced by a differential head of a disk drive are detected. The respective peaks, which represent the positive and negative peaks of the pulses, are compared to a set of reference levels and, depending upon the relationship of those peaks with the reference levels, a gain error or an offset error is indicated. If the positive pulse peaks and negative pulse peaks exhibit substantially similar relationships with respect to the reference levels, a gain error is indicated. However, if the positive pulse peaks and negative pulse peaks exhibit dissimilar relationships with respect to the reference levels, an offset error is indicated.
