Jitter check.
Jitter rate is measured and displayed.
Measurement is repeatedly done in 
the cycle of one second. Read error 
counter starts from zero upon mode 
setting.
When target block data failed to be 
read out, the counter advances by one 
increment. When the failure is caused 
by minor error, it may be corrected 
when retried to enable successful 
reading.
In this case, the counter advances by 
one. When the error persists even 
after retry, the counter may jump by 
two or more.
