Download sensecode (27 KB)
Usage
Enter SK/ASC/ASCQ in the edit box, this tiny utility will list the sense codes that meet the criteria.
Allowed characters: 0123456789abcdefABCDEF?, Each occurrence of ‘?’ character can be replaced with any other character.
Command Line:
The default program lists all sense codes, you can specify wildcards on the command line to list only the corresponding ones.
sensecode.exe // dump all sense code sensecode.exe 56??? // dump all sense code matching SK=5 ASC=6? ASCQ=?? sensecode.exe 56? // equal with 56??? sensecode.exe 56 // equal with 56??? sensecode.exe 5 // dump all sense code matching SK=5 ASC=?? ASCQ=?? sensecode.exe ?6??? // dump all sense code matching SK=? ASC=6? ASCQ=??
Document
This document lists error codes that may be generated by MMC defined Drives.
Any error may be reported in response to any command due to the occurrence of a deferred error. E.g., a write error may occur due to a cached write command and that error should be reported in response to the next command.
Sense Key (SK)
MM drives return only fixed format sense data as defined in[SPC-3]. In fixed format sense data, the 4-bit value stored in bits 3 - 0 of byte 2 of the fixed format sense data is labeled the Sense Key. In the case of this standard, SK is part of a 20-bit code: SK/ASC/ASCQ that identifies a specific error or condition.
Additional Sense Code (ASC)
MM drives return only fixed format sense data as defined in [SPC-3]. In fixed format sense data, the value stored in byte 12 of the fixed format sense data is labeled the Additional Sense Code. In the case of this standard, ASC is part of a 20-bit code: SK/ASC/ASCQ that identifies a specific error or condition.
Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ASCQ)
MM drives return only fixed format sense data as defined in[SPC-3]. In fixed format sense data, byte 13 of the fixed format sense data is labeled the Additional Sense Code Qualifier. In the case of this standard, ASCQ is part of a 20-bit code: SK/ASC/ASCQ that identifies a specific error or condition.
