A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a performance characteristic of an electronic device. In one form, the electronic device includes a frame, a first subassembly on the frame and including a component encoded with a measured value of a first performance characteristic of the first subassembly, a download circuit on the frame to download the measured value from the encoded component, and an electronic circuit on the frame to a) receive a signal from the download circuit representative of the measured value and b) control a second performance characteristic of the electronic device as a function of the signal. In one form, the method includes the steps of measuring a value of a first performance characteristic of a first subassembly of an electronic device, encoding a component with the value, assembling the first subassembly to the electronic device, downloading the value from the component, and controlling a second performance characteristic of the electronic device as a function of the downloaded value.
