TAPETIME
This routine will calculate the number of minutes into a standard T-60 or T-120
VCR tape at the 2, 4, or 6 hour speeds. It was developed using a GE unit. The
tape counter may be different on other brands. To determine any varience,
compare your indicator after one hour of recording. The GE unit reads 1523 for
a T-120 at the 6 hour speed.
If your tape unit has a different reading, you can override the default setting
during the start-up phase.
We plan to make several improvements in this routine in the near future. These
include:
1. Addition of T-180 tapes.
2. Automatic calculation for elapsed time between 2 different counter
readings.
3. Restart via a function key to change types of tapes.
This routine will be part of a total package to be released soon for maintenance
of a VCR tape library. If you are interested in more information on this
package, or have other suggestions, contact Tele Comm Services at 2365 So. Hoyt
St, Denver, Colo., 80227.
