Abstract
A method for adjusting the timing for sampling a reflected write signal is disclosed. The method comprises determining a reference timing event, and sampling the reflected write signal at first and second sampling times to produce first and second sampled signals, the first sampling time occurring after a first variable time delay following the reference timing event and the second sampling time occurring after a first fixed time delay following the first sampling time. The method further comprises comparing the magnitudes of the first and second sampled signals, and adjusting the first variable time delay in response to the comparison of the magnitudes of the first and second sampled signals so that the magnitudes of the first and second sampled signals are substantially equal.
