Abstract
A position error calculator for an embedded disk controller including a burst selector that selects a burst pair based on a burst pair format. The burst pair format includes at least a first burst pair format that includes x bursts and a second burst pair format that includes y bursts and x is not equal to y. A linear position calculator calculates head linear position based on the burst pair format.
