Abstract
A system for synchronizing events has a first subsystem that detects, measures, or generates a first set of events and the first subsystem has a first clock for time-stamping each event detected, measured, or generated by the first subsystem. The system further has a second subsystem that detects, measures, or generates a second set of events and the second subsystem has a second clock not synchronized to the first clock. The second clock is for time-stamping events detected, measured, or generated by the second subsystem. The first set of events is related to the second set of events. The system further has a processor that correlates the first set of events with the second set of events to determine a value indicative of a temporal shift between a time of occurrence of the first set of events and a time of occurrence of the second set of events. Also, the processor temporally matches the first set of events to the second set of events and outputs data indicative of the matching between the first set of events to the second set of events to an output device.
