Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically measure practical maximum output level MOL of a magnetic tape with high accuracy in a short time by using test signals which are successively reduced from a high level by steps. CONSTITUTION:A test signal of which level is successively reduced by stages in each frequency outputted by a level controlling circuit 16 controlled by a CPU 9 in accordance with a start switch 14 and the signal is recorded in a magnetic tape 8 by a recording head 7. The recorded signal is reproduced through a reproducing head 10 and compared with a reference signal generated from the CPU 9 in accordance with a test signal having different level by a 3% distortion detector 18 and the CPU controls the circuit 16 in accordance with a consistent output from the detector 18. Subsequently MOL is automatically detected and a frequency-MOL characteristic curve is displayed on a CRT 27. By the method reducing test signals of which frequency is different each other from high level signals with small level variation to low level signals by steps, the MOL is automatically measured with high accuracy for a short time.

For example, the 3-chip detector 1B has a configuration as roughly shown in FIG. while the frequency component 3f1 of IQQH2 (i.e., the signal f1
(3rd harmonic) is taken out and supplied to the other input terminal of the comparator 20 via the 5-filter output switching circuit 22 and the rectifier 23. In the comparator 20, the levels of the Do acid component of the signal f1 and the Do acid component of the signal 3f are compared, and when the two become equal, the power level changes from, for example, an H level to an L level, as shown in FIG. 4(C).
This detector signal is taken out from the output terminal 18b and sent to the CP
Supplied to U9. In this case, we want to set the measurement point at the point (x mark in Figure 3) where the 3rd order distortion component (3rd harmonic 3f) is included in the output of the 30 Hz signal f. Set the gain to 30. Set to S dB (!-i 3chi). In this way, the point where the level of the signal obtained by increasing the ao, saB gain of the distortion component 3f, which is originally low in level, and the signal f1 is the output, and the point where the level is 3% lower than the input level is the point where the signal f1 matches the level of the signal f1. .

The A/D converter 24 is activated by each control signal from Ug (72 in the 4th section (D)), and the level of signal f1 at this point is converted into a digital signal (level L1), and the CP
Supplied to U 9. When the CPU-9 completes this conversion, it operates the test signal generator 15 to take out the second test signal f2 (frequency 60 Hz). Similarly to the signal f1, the signal f2 is a signal whose level gradually decreases from GC+20 dB, and is recorded on the tape 3 and reproduced. In this case, the third harmonic 3j2 of the second test signal f2 is extracted from the bandpass filter 212 of the three-channel distortion detector 18, and the third harmonic 3j2 of the second test signal f2 is extracted by 3%
The output level L2 at which distortion occurs is determined. Thereafter, tests are performed in the same manner up to the seventh test signal fy (6 kHz), and the output levels L1 to L7 at which the respective 3-channel distortions occur are determined.

A recording/reproducing means for recording and reproducing a plurality of test signals from the means on a magnetic recording medium, and a reproduction level of the plurality of test signals from the recording/reproducing means is set in advance for each test signal. When detecting the three-chip distortion playback output level, the test is started from a test signal with a high level with little level fluctuation, and thereby , the level can be detected with high precision in a short time, and since the test signal is generated in a stepwise manner, level fluctuations at individual levels are averaged and removed, making it less susceptible to level fluctuations. This has the advantage of being able to detect levels with high precision.
