A formalism is presented which relates the intrinsic error rate of a digital recording channel to measurable channel parameters: interpulse interactions and signal-to-noise ratio. Experimental data is provided to support the theoretical model. Implementation of the formalism allows clear identification of recording channel limitations and provides a method for determining the most reliable use of the channel.
