ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining the location of plural devices operationally coupled to a computer system using a 1-Wire bus is provided. The method includes, determining if more than one bus-coupler is detected by the computer system; disconnecting bus-couplers in an arbitrary manner until a pre-determined number of bus-coupler(s) is visible to the computing system; determining the location of the detected pre-determined number of bus-couplers; storing the location of the detected pre-determined number of bus-couplers; and repeating the foregoing steps until all the bus-coupler locations are determined and stored. The pre-determined number of bus-couplers may be one and the plural devices include switches and analog/digital converters.
