This allows the Initiator to translate a LBA or physical sector address to the other format. The address to be translated is passed 
to the Target with the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and the results are returned to the Initiator by the RECEIVE DIAG-
NOSTICS command.

The Target will read the parameter list from the Initiator, and, if no errors are detected in the parameter list, Good status will be 
returned. The data translation will be performed upon receipt of the RECEIVE DIAGNOSTICS command.

Supplied Format may take one of the following three values:

-   000b Block format
-  100b Bytes From Index format
-  101b Physical Sector format

It specifies the format in which the address has been supplied.

•

Translate Format specifies the format that the address should be translated into. If the supplied format is the Block 

format, the Translate format must be either Bytes from Index or Physical Sector format. If the supplied format is the 
Bytes from Index or Physical Sector format, the Translate format must be Block format. If either of the format fields 
is invalid or they specify the same format, the command will terminate with Check Condition status with a sense 
code of Illegal Request and Illegal Field in Parameter List.
