Measured data synchronization system

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to realize a measured data synchronization system wherein data processing is performed using measured data for which synchronization among measuring instruments is ensured. The present invention is characterized by improvements applied to a measured data synchronization system comprising a plurality of measuring instruments for measuring objects under measurement and outputting measured data, and a data processing apparatus connected to the plurality of measuring instruments via a signal line and which acquires and processes the measured data output by the measuring instruments. More specifically, the present invention relates to a measured data synchronization system which performs data processing using measured data for which synchronization among measuring instruments is ensured. The measuring instruments of the measured data synchronization system are given an input of reference times from the data processing apparatus and append these reference times to the measured data before outputting the data. The data processing apparatus outputs the reference times at prescribed intervals to each of the measuring instruments; receives an input of the measured data appended with the reference times from each of the measuring instruments; and performs data processing using measured data appended with desired reference times.
