Optical disk controller and optical disk device

摘要

The optical disk controller (200) of this invention that reduces the frequency of output of status reports to relieve the burden of a system controller includes: a status generator (210) for generating status reports each representing the operation state of the optical disk controller every sector of a disk; and a status sampling section (220) for sampling the status reports at a set sampling interval. When a generated status report matches with "sampling abort" status stored in a sampling category storing portion (223), status sampling is aborted. <IMAGE>
