Systems and Methods for Managing Timing Functions in Multiple Timing Protocols

A method for managing a plurality of timing functions, the method comprising:

• associating the plurality of timing functions with a plurality of timing protocols;
• generating a plurality of reference time values in a master timing protocol in response to a respective plurality of stimulus signals, each of the plurality of stimulus signals being configured to invoke at least one of the plurality of timing functions;
• generating a plurality of offset time values in the master timing protocol relative to each of the respective plurality of reference time values;
• and
• activating a control signal associated with the at least one of the plurality of timing functions upon an accumulated time value of a master timer in the master timing protocol being equal to each of a plurality of scheduled time values that are equal to the respective plurality of offset time values relative to the respective plurality of reference time values.
