4. FUNCTIONALITY
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
  When the tool is started, it will scan all Tandberg Data supported devices in the pull down box at the top of the tool.  
  If any devices are attached later, press the "Rescan" button to the box to scan the system bus for the new device.
  Once a target device is selected in the box, it displays basic device information in the Target Information fields and enable all operations.

  Following functionalities are currently supported by this tool for LTO drive with an IBM vendor name only.

  1. Inquiry	     - Identify current selected device.

  2. Update firmware - Allows you to update to the current firmware from a file of your choice.
                       (Download the proper firmware file from www.tandbergdata.com)

  3. Gather Dump     - If instructed, use this function to gather drive's detailed
		       log Information and save it to a file of your choice.	    

  4. Erase Tape	     - Erase current data on the tape (only short erase)


  5. Load Tape       - If the target drive is in a library, this function could be used to load the 
    		       tape if the tape is already located at the mouth of the target drive

  6. Unload Tape     - Unload the currently loaded tape from the target drive

  7. Tape IO Test    - (Write and Read / Write Only / Read only / Fill Tape)

		     - (Write and Read)Test write/read functionality of the device.
		       This test moves data between memory on your system and the device being test,
		       then print transfer rate for each operation.(Write Only) Only test write functionality.
		       (Read Only) Only test read functionality. (Fill Tape) Write and Read a Full tape.

  		       Transfer rate fluctuates depending on your system performance/resources - i.e., hard disk-IO,
		       existence of other processes, condition of media and the device.
		       Thus the result of this test indicates the best performance
		       the device could achieve on this current system setup.

   	       	       Regular backup will typically be slower than this result as performance is restricted by disk-IO.	     
		       The tool prompts options once this operation is selected and options can be modified.  
		       Preferred options are set per device type for your convenience, use this unless Tandberg Data 
		       service rep asked you to change.
