Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a monitoring system that may include a plurality of monitors. Each may have a plurality of input pairs coupled to respective components of a component stack, wherein adjacent monitors each have an input pair coupled to a common component. Embodiments of the present invention provide an integrated circuit that may include a plurality of detectors to locally measure a first group of channels. The integrated circuit may also include a receiver operable to receive a measurement of at least one channel of the first group of channels, and a controller to calculate a correction factor based on the received measurement and a local measurement of the at least one channel and to correct all first group measurements with the correction factor.
