The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method performed by a transceiver that includes a first table associated with a first set of gain values and a second table associated with a second set of gain values comprising:
accessing a first value associated with a data signal with a controller;
accessing a second value associated with the first value from the first table in response to the first set of gain values being used to generate the first value, the first table stored in a first memory associated with a controller;
accessing a third value associated with the first value from the second table in response to the second set of gain values being used to generate the first value, the second table stored in the first memory associated with the controller;
storing a fourth value associated with the second value to a second memory accessible by a host in response to the first set of gain values being used to generate the first value; and
storing a fifth value associated with the third value to the second memory in response to the second set of gain values being used to generate the first value.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
amplifying the data signal using the first set of gain values to generate an amplified data signal; and
converting the amplified data signal to a digital value to generate the first value; and
storing the first value.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
accessing the second value from the first table in response to the first value being in a range of values associated with the first table.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
accessing the third value from the second table in response to the first value being in a range of values associated with the second table.
