Abstract
A system and processes for causing the simultaneity of events from two or more families of events are described. A repetition rate and modulus of each one the first families of events is determined. A second family of events has a controlled repetition rate that optimizes the simultaneity of a number of events of the second family with a corresponding number of events from the first family within a desired time period. The first families of events can be occurrences of scanning an image of a target across a detector element of a scanning imaging system. The modulus can be a number of lines per frame of the scanning imaging system. Laser pulses having a pulse repetition rate can be events from the second family of events. A system and processes may disable one or more scanning imaging systems by controlling a pulse repetition frequency of a laser output.
