DENSITY

DENSITY specifies whether the tape is to be written at high or low density. The tape speeds corresponding to each density can be specified in the setup file using TPSPEEDH SP:TPSPEEDH and TPSPEEDLSP:TPSPEEDL or, better, they can be allowed to default.

For S2 tapes, density ``H'' refers to SLP and ``L'' to LP.

• Argument: An array of character strings of up to 8 characters each, of which only the first character will be used.
• Options: The first letter of each string must be ``H'' or ``L'' (not case sensitive).
• Default: H for the VLBA and VLA, L for others
• Usage: Defaults to the previous value.
• Example: DENSITY=H,L,L
