Abstract
A system with a set of modules having synchronized timing. The synchronized timing of the modules enables precise coordination of measurements and stimuli for an arbitrary number of modules. The modules communicate and maintain time synchronization using a communication mechanism that may be adapted to localized positioning of modules and/or widely dispersed positioning of modules with no change to the underlying functionality in the modules.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- communication means;
- a set of modules each capable of communication via the communication means and each having a synchronized clock and means for performing a function of the system such that the functions are coordinated by a synchronized time in the synchronized clocks.
