2.2.2 Algorithm definition: template
The Algorithm definition window shows you a template of the future
algorithm: the list contains as many elements, including the defined
algorithm at the previous stage.
The algorithm definition window
The window has the following legend: The first column of the list contains
the number of passes for a disk; the second contains the type of operation
on a disk (there are just two such operations: to write a symbol to disk,
«writing», and to verify written, «verification»); the third column contains
the pattern of data to be written to disk.
The pattern to be written to disk is always a hexadecimal value, for example,
the value of this kind: 0x00, 0xAA, or 0xCD, etc. These values are 1 byte
long, but they may be up to 512 bytes long. Except for such values you may
enter a random hexadecimal value of any length (up to 512 bytes). Your
algorithm may also include one more value for writing that is designated as
the «complementary value» – the value that is complementary to the one
written to disk during the previous pass.
We shall remind that if the binary value is represented by 10001010 (0x8A)
sequence then the complementary binary value will be represented by 01110101
(0x75) sequence.
