Methods for selecting wrap angle for inducing tape tenting above transducer

A computer program product for determining a wrap angle, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, by the processor, a measurement of a distance from an edge of a module to a transducer of the module;
• receiving, by the processor, a predefined height of tenting of a magnetic recording tape above the transducer;
• and
• determining, by the processor, a wrap angle for inducing tenting of the magnetic recording tape above the transducer at the predefined height when the magnetic recording tape passes over the edge in a direction of tape travel thereacross, wherein the tenting of the moving magnetic recording tape extends from the edge of the module closest thereto to a minima with a tent apex therebetween, wherein the minima is at a first point of closest approach of the moving magnetic recording tape to a tape bearing surface of the module nearest the tent apex.
