22. ISI Confidential Digitizer is The Key to S.M.A.N. Qualifies Three Types of Instability Events in One Second Test RMS Noise for broadband noise Max Amp for rare events such as Barkh. Jumps and Write Induced Instability Amp Noise for high probability noise

23. ISI Confidential Popcorn/AC Noise tests vs. SMAN Popcorn/AC noise set a threshold and count pulses exceeding the threshold Result is a count i.e. 10 or 10,000 Not enough information and not repeatable enough for pass/fail SMAN digitizes all pulses and gets noise amplitude in uV. Results are repeatable within 15% Allows prediction of drive level performance. Screens out heads that will cause high BER or loss of servo.
