Bytes 03 through 07 - Total Bytes Received
The value returned for the Total Bytes Received field is a cumulative
count of all data bytes received from the SCSI bus since one of the
following events occurred:
The CTS was reset (by a power-on, device, or SCSI bus reset)
A change in the direction of tape motion occurred
The data cartridge was unloaded
The operating mode was changed from write to read
Note: If no data bytes have been received, the value returned for this
field is FFh.
Bytes 08 through 12 - Total Bytes Written
The value returned for the Total Bytes Written field is a cumulative
count of all bytes written to the buffer since one of the following
events occurred:
The CTS was reset (by a power-on, device, or SCSI bus reset)
A change in the direction of tape motion occurred
The data cartridge was unloaded
The operating mode was changed from write to read
The value in this field represents the total size of the data after it has
been processed by the data compression algorithm.
Note: If no bytes have been written to the CTS’s buffer, the value
returned for this byte is FFh.
Determining the Compression Ratio
You can use the Total Bytes Received and Total Bytes Written fields to
calculate the compression ratio as follows:
Compression ratio
=
