Abstract
In a data bus environment where a host device and a plurality of other devices are connected to the bus, the time required for the first and the last device to respond to a host request is measured. Once the time required between the first and the last response is known, then a read/write window time can be minimized thereby increasing the speed of communication over the data bus.
