command. The default threshold values are loaded into the threshold values when a
reset occurs or by a LOG SELECT command with the PCR bit set.
Default Accumulated Values
The type 3 page control bit setting specifies default accumulated values. The default
accumulated values are all zero and cannot be changed by the LOG SELECT
command. The default accumulated values are loaded into the accumulated values
when a reset occurs or when a LOG SELECT command is received with the PCR bit
set.
Using the Parameter Pointer Field
The Parameter Pointer field specifies the starting parameter code of the page that is
to be transferred.
If the Parameter Pointer field specifies a parameter code larger than the maximum
parameter code for that page, a Check Condition is generated. The sense data is
set to Illegal Request, Invalid Field in the CDB.
For example, if the page uses parameter codes 2 through 6 and the parameter
pointer field is set to 3, then the drive returns parameters 3 through 6. Likewise, if
the parameter pointer is set to 1, parameters 2 through 6 are returned.
If the Parameter Pointer field is set to 0, all parameters for that particular page are
returned up to the maximum number of bytes specified in the allocation length.
Regardless of the starting parameter code specified in the Parameter Pointer field,
the page header is always returned.
Log Sense Pages
Only one log page is transferred to the host with a single LOG SENSE CDB. Byte 2
of the CDB specifies the page to be transferred. Each log page begins with a four-
byte header, as shown in the following table.
Byte
Bits
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
0 0 0 | Page Code
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
3 Page Length (n)
The Page Code field indicates the page being returned. This data matches the page
code requested in byte 2 of the LOG SENSE CDB.
The Page Length field indicates the length of the page in bytes that follow the page
header. If the allocation length specified in the CDB is too small to transfer all of the
requested page, this value is not adjusted to reflect the truncation.
However, if the Parameter Pointer field of the CDB specifies a starting parameter
code other than zero, the page length is adjusted to indicate the number of bytes
that follow the page header.
