  • Method of and means for testing a tape record/playback system
    Patent number: 4003084
    Abstract: A tape record/playback system is tested by first deriving an analog test signal and a band-limited digital reference signal from a pseudo-noise (PN) sequence generator driven by a clock signal and recording said signals on respective tracks of the system during operation thereof in a record mode. During the playback mode of operation of the system, a delayed analog reference signal without time base variations is reconstructed from the played back reference signal and compared with the played back test signal in order to obtain an error signal that is a measure of the performance of the system.
