Paragraph Number

210

In one embodiment, the correlation factor is used to narrow the spacing between candidate read levels 1112, (e.g., #23' through #27') and/or may be used to scan fewer candidate read levels (e.g., 4 versus 7, 4 because #25' is a starting read level). Consequently, second read level window 1104 is smaller, has fewer candidate read levels 1112, than a read level window without using a correlation and/or correlation factor and results in a faster scanning time.
