Need a simple script for Data Extractor (loss of readiness)

Postby -BR- » 15.05.13, 15:54

Hi

I need a simple script to configure in an UDMA task as an action when a bad sector is encontered.
It needs to do the following:

1) power off hdd
2) wait for 1 second
3) power on hdd
4) wait for 60 seconds
5) continue reading data

Does any one knows the script coding to do that?

Thank you in advance!

Hi!
There is no need for a script here.
Just change the parameters: Go to "Loss of readiness" enter the values you need (e.g. waiting for readiness after power ON 60000) and only tick "Turn off/on drive's power".
Then change to "HDD power supply" tab and enter 1000ms. That's it.
Albeit: when the drive is ready before 60 seconds it continues reading. Would that be a problem?

Good luck!

I already tried that and setting the waiting for readiness after power on won´t work.

That´s because it´s an USB hdd connected via an USB -> IDE adapter
So after power off/on the adapter report readiness automatically (DRD + DSC) but the USB hdd itself is not ready yet.

It needs the 60 seconds that I have to program in the script.

It should be something very simple like:

Active.Utility.Power.Off
Wait 1000
Active.Utility.Power.On
Wait 60000

But unfortunatelly Ace has no documentation on issuing script commands to the UDMA card.
