<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic recorder capable of preventing a slider and a recording medium to collide with each other due to a decrease of a flight altitude of the slider, a diagnostic method thereof, and a program executable by a computer. <P>SOLUTION: The magnetic recorder has: flight altitude measurement means for measuring a flight altitude of a slider 19 by heating a heater 17 to make a recording/reproducing element 14 protrude from the slider and detecting a contact of the slider 19 with a recording medium 11; determination means for determining whether the flight altitude of the slider measured by the flight altitude measurement means is within a prescribed range; and retreating means for making the slider retreat when the determination means determines that the flight altitude of the slider is not within the prescribed range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
