Claim 22:
23. The method of claim 22, further comprising:
incrementing a second count in response to a second-counter increment command;
decrementing the second count in response to a second-counter decrement command;
generating, in a third state, the second-counter increment command in response to the detecting;
generating, in a fourth state, the second-counter decrement command in response to the detecting;
setting the time-of-flight system to the third state by the control signal after a passage of a third-state delay determined in accordance with the second count and the first count, the third-state delay measured from the time of the optical-emission time; and
setting the time-of-flight system to the fourth state by the control signal after a passage of a fourth-state delay determined in accordance with the second count and the first count, the fourth-state delay measured from the time of the optical-emission time.
