Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus that comprises an instruction receiving module configured to receive, at a master device, a set of instructions for operating a plurality of peripheral devices. The apparatus also comprises an instruction identification module configured to identify at least one subset of the set of instructions that are associated with at least one slave device. The apparatus further comprises an instruction distribution module configured to send the at least one subset of instructions to the at least one slave device. The apparatus additionally comprises a trigger module configured to send a start signal, from the master device to the at least one slave device, that triggers the at least one slave device to begin executing the at least one subset of instructions such that each of the plurality of peripheral devices operates synchronously based on the executing instructions.
