Abstract
An automatic scan tracking, helical tape type of data recorder is disclosed herein along with its method of operation. Data is written onto magnetic recording tape along with data retrieval information by means of a rotating scanner assembly forming part of the recorder as the recording tape moves at a given recording speed in cooperative engagement with the scanner assembly. Data is normally retrieved from the recording tape along with the data retrieval information by means of the rotating scanner assembly as the recording tape moves longitudinally at the same given recording speed. In operation, the rotating scanner assembly of the recorder retrieves data and data retrieval information from a segment of the recording tape while the latter is not moving, that is, during a period when the tape is stationary for enabling adjustment of the read head position relative to the track depending on the evaluation of the data resulting from the stationary tape read. Provision is also made for causing the rotating scanner to retrieve data retrieval information from a segment of the recording tape while the latter is accelerating from a still state to its given recording state, with subsequent evaluation of the data and adjustment based on the results.
