A method of monitoring signals is disclosed, wherein a plurality of command signals and address signals are consecutively expressed, as a measurement target. The method includes setting a strobe timing that has a predetermined initial value; calculating an error rate by monitoring the plurality of command signals, in accordance with the strobe timing; monitoring the plurality of address signals, and calculating a burst rate from a difference between the consecutive plurality of address signals, in accordance with the strobe timing; identifying timing where the calculated error rate and calculated burst rate are both optimized; and in the event the timing where both the calculated error rate and calculated burst rate are optimized cannot be identified, altering a predetermined value of the set strobe timing, and repeating the calculating, monitoring, and identifying.
