Abstract
The present invention, in particular embodiments, provides methods, apparatuses and systems directed to calculating azimuth of a read/write head via signals transduced from a servo read pattern of a tape. The signals are utilized to calculate azimuth of the read/write head which is displayed on a screen. An operator can then utilize the displayed azimuth information to properly adjust the read/write head azimuth.
