Abstract

A sensor for acquiring measured values and for outputting data samples having at least one first register for storing a sensor time, which includes time information on phase position and/or period of the data samples, the first register being readable out externally. The sensor includes at least one second register, which is writable on externally, and by which the phase position and/or the period of the data samples is able to be set in the sensor. Also described is a sensor system having at least one sensor and an external control unit by which at least the first register is readable and at least the second register is writable. Also described is a sensor-fused system having at least one sensor system having at least two sensors. Also described is a method for setting the phase position and/or the period of data samples in a sensor system or a sensor-fused system.
