摘要 |
The invention presents techniques for verifying patterns, such as time-based servo marks, recorded on magnetic media. Patterns of this kind can be recorded on a magnetic medium using a recording head that includes a surface having a flux gap with a defined shape. The patterns may be verified with a verify head, having a surface with a flux gap with the defined shape or part of the defined shape. The verify head may include two or more ferromagnetic cores, with a flux gap associated with each core. Each core can independently verify part of the recorded pattern.
