Configuration 4-5 Set Library Mode This option lets you set the MiniLibrary system robotics operating mode to Random, Sequential DLT0, Sequential DLT1, or Sequential Split. Random is the normal operating mode which affords complete host control of the MiniLibrary system robotics. The Sequential modes are locally controlled modes. Sequential DLT0 begins with any cartridge loaded into DLT0. The Base Module monitors the status of DLT0, and when the host unloads the cartridge, it loads the next cartridge in magazine numerical order. This operation continues to cycle until all of the cartridges have been loaded. Sequential DLT1 is the same, except that the cartridges are loaded into DLT1. Sequential Split mode provides two simultaneous sequential modes. Cartridges 0 through 4 are loaded sequentially into DLT0; cartridges 5 through 9 are loaded sequentially into DLT1. Set Sequential Configuration NOTE: Sequential Split mode requires two drives. The default is Random. To operate the a standalone MiniLibrary Base Module in sequential mode, the following configuration parameters must be established: I Library Mode- change from Random (default) to Sequential DLT0 I Sequential Mode must remain at Normal (default) I Test Unit Ready (TUR) - must remain at Custom (default) To establish these parameters for sequential mode operation: 1.
