Abstract

A system and method, optionally implemented in a hardware circuitry, to receive a global positioning system pulse per second, GPS PPS, signal generated by a GPS receiver in a vehicle having a plurality of sensors; monitor the GPS PPS signal for an indication of a presence and a frequency of the GPS PPS signal within a predetermined threshold; generate a generated PPS signal synchronized with the GPS PPS signal; generate, based on an input of the generated PPS signal, a plurality of trigger signals, each of the generated plurality of trigger signals being selectively programmatically adjustable in at least one of a frequency and a phase, the selectively adjustability of each of the generated plurality of trigger signals being independent of the other generated plurality of trigger signals; and transmit at least one of the generated plurality of trigger signals to one or more of the sensors.
