💖 CBMRPM41 💖

ok so before we even get into it — hi bestie, welcome to the cbmrpm41 page (that's section 1 of the user commands manual, mwah). This whole thing is about measuring the rpm of a CBM-1541 drive with high precision, and honestly? iconic behavior. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cbmrpm41 [OPTION]... DRIVE

like, options go first, then the drive. that's the vibe check. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

High precision CBM-1541 rpm measurement — that's literally it, that's the whole point. She measures rpm, she does it precisely, we stan. 🦋

💜 the options (all of them, no skips, fr fr)

• -h, --help — display this help and exit. your girl is helpful and then she leaves. main character exit. ✨
• -V, --version — display version information and exit. also a leaving situation. brief but memorable. 👑
• -@, --adapter=plugin:bus — tell OpenCBM which backend plugin and bus to use. you're the one who has to spill the tea about which adapter, she's not guessing. 🙈
• -j, --job=JOBID — measurement job to do, and there are ✨four✨ flavors:
  • 1 — detailed RPM printout (this is the default, no cap)
  • 2 — track synchronization
  • 3 — RPM with linear regression and ANOVAR
  • 4 — for RPM adjustment, with exponentially moving average
• -s, --status — display drive status after the measurements. like a little post-run debrief, love that for us. 💀
• -x, --extended — measure out a 40 track disk. she goes the full 40. dedicated. 🔥
• -r, --retries=n — number of measurement retries for each track. sometimes you gotta ask again, and that's okay. 🫶
• -b, --begin-track=TRACK — set start track (1 <= start <= end). where the journey begins. ⭐
• -e, --end-track=TRACK — set end track (start <= end <= 42). where it wraps up. yes, 42. 🌈
• -c, --sector=SECTOR — set trigger sector number (>=0, gets modulo limited by the max number of sectors for a track). so it's gotta be zero or bigger, and then the modulo does its little thing and keeps it in range. slay. 💅

heads up bestie: keep an eye on those little inequality notes on -b and -e, they're telling you the actual allowed range and she means it. 🧚

and that's the page, bestie!! 💖 this gorgeous little writeup is from cbmrpm41 Version 0.4.99.103, built on Jul 14 2020 at 18:05:17 — and the footer dates it July 2020 (it got cut off as cbmrpm41 Version 0.4.99.103, bu..., which is giving "ran out of room in the group chat"). anyway, CBMRPM41(1) forever, bye 🎀🌸💜
