Abstract

A method comprises selecting a starting point on a map of equalization coefficients and measuring an eye height of a signal transmitted using the set of equalization coefficients associated with the starting point and an eye height associated with each adjacent point on the map relative to the starting point. The eye height associated with an adjacent point is based on a signal transmitted using the set of equalization coefficients associated with the adjacent point. The method also comprises walking on the map in a first direction from the starting point to the adjacent point associated with the greatest eye height, wherein the eye height associated with the adjacent point is greater than or equal to the eye height associated with the starting point.
