Abstract:
1. A method for producing data from an information signal comprising: receiving a test signal; delaying said test signal by increasing amounts of delay times to produce a plurality of delayed test signals, each delayed test signal having an associated delay number corresponding to its delay time, said delay number arranged in increasing order of delay time; evaluating each delayed test signal for an error condition; reading one or more adjustment values from a first memory store, said adjustment values being received into said first memory store from an external source and so are variable; producing a first delay value by combining one or more of said delay times with said one or more adjustment values, including selecting one or more of said delay times based on those of said delayed test signals for which error conditions occur; receiving a transmission of said information signal; and delaying said information signal by an amount of time depending on said first delay value, wherein said information signal becomes synchronized with a clock signal used to produce data from said information signal.
