... 07/27/2004 Specifications: The GALFA Quadrature Downconverter Controller (QDC) interfaces the GALFA spectrometer computer and the analog QD boards. It is desired that for IF input levels between -25dBm to -10dBm, the output power from the analog QD is constant (about 0dBm). The GALFA spectrometer computer will sense the power level at the output, and using a DAC, it will adjust the gain on the analog QD board. ...

... This relieves the rest of the computer from knowing how to use the drive, since the controllers for different types of disks can be made to use the same interface towards the rest of the computer. ... Usually the number of sectors is the same for all tracks, but some hard disks put more sectors in outer tracks (all sectors are of the same physical size, so more of them fit in the longer outer tracks). ... For example, a hard disk might have 8 heads, 2048 tracks, and 35 sectors per track . ...
