Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling a nuclear medicine imaging device that includes a plurality of propagation path devices each connected to a respective one of a plurality of time-to-digital circuits (TDCs), the method comprising: receiving a delay selection signal indicating a determination of an amount of time to delay a start signal; activating, at each one of the plurality of propagation path devices, a selected delay module of a plurality of delay modules based on the received delay selection signal, each of the plurality of delay modules providing delay to the start signal, which is received by a respective TDC via at least one of the plurality of delay modules; receiving the start signal at the activated delay module; delaying the start signal by way of propagation through the activated delay module; and transmitting the delayed start signal to the respective TDC.
